Safety Analysis of Accidents Call System Especially Related to In-Land Water Transport Based on New Telematic Solutions

In the paper the analysis of e-call system informing about accidents in land transport with application of public standards GSM and GPS is shown. Based on Markov processes the two models are introduced: reliability model for hardware and behavioral model describing man-system co-operation (including level of equipment and environmental conditions together with weather). The reliability and maintenance parameters correspond to typical reliability characteristics of GPS/GSM devices and time characteristics related to service, monitoring and management of critical events using such devices. Presented results (probabilistic and time) may be also adapted to another applications such mountain tourism and extreme sports, but even in railway transport with GPS positioning in the regional lines (without typical centralized railway control infrastructure).
