Forensic analysis of eCall emergency call system data – Forensic documentation of the automatic emergency call system
In the event of a serious accident, the eCall system automatically triggers an emergency call, transmitting vehicle and location data, whilst typically recording the time of activation, the position data transmitted and the status of the connection.
This data may be relevant for the forensic documentation of the chronological sequence of events in the rescue chain following an accident.

Our services
We analyse available eCall log data and document the time of activation, the location data transmitted and the connection status in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how an eCall analysis works
Once the relevant control units have been backed up, any available eCall trigger logs are extracted and cross-referenced with the post-crash and airbag deployment data for the same incident.
Why is the eCall analysis relevant from a forensic perspective?
The exact time at which the emergency call system is triggered can be crucial when assessing the response time following an accident.
The failure of an expected eCall trigger to activate may also be relevant from a forensic perspective and may indicate a technical fault.
