Abstract
In the event of an emergency situation or a roadside trouble,
drivers need rapid help. But, in many cases, it takes too much time
to get help, and it even results in a more fatal situation. Rapid
response to run-off-the-road and other accidents can help reduce
the number of resulting deaths. In many countries, mayday service
was developed and commercialized to provide a call and dispatching
service in an emergency situation.
Daewoo Motor is developing a DreamNet system which uses
technologies for real-time emergency call and dispatching. The
DreamNet system is composed mainly of in-vehicle unit,
communications system and DreamNet service center. The system
can be operated by user''s request and also be activated by
an external event such as accident, emergency and theft of the
vehicle. It transmits the location and type of distress information
of the vehicle to the DreamNet service center. The following
describes an overview and features of the DreamNet system which
is being developed for commercial service.
