In today´s life a high grade of flexibility and mobility is more important than ever. To face these modern issues, more and more vehicles are on our streets. However, there is a not to be underestimated side effect - accidents. Even though plenty of active and passive safety systems have been successfully implemented and fatalities have decreased by 50% over the last 15 years, there are still 40,000 people dying and 1.7 million injured annually on Europe´s roads. The ambitious target to halve this number was set out in the White Paper "European Transport Policy for 2010: Time to Decide" by the eSafety initiative. The proposition is to equip all newly produced cars with a system, which recognizes whether the vehicle is involved in an accident and subsequently initiates an emergency call. A solution was realized within the Oracle Telematics Foundation relying on Oracle technology. This work describes the architectural conception of the environment as well as the hard- and software components and the overall infrastructure. Besides the eCall implementation, two other useful features (CarMonitoring, ProximityDemo) were developed promoting telematic services and thus their progress.
