Creating easy online access to dynamic safety services

The Global System for Telematics (GST) project aims to create the technology and facilitate the cooperation necessary for the creation of an open market for online telematics services. This will enable drivers and occupants to rely on their on-board, integrated telematics system to provide them with dynamic services for increased safety, efficiency and comfort – wherever they drive in Europe.

To realise this vision, GST is creating a standardised framework architecture that is truly open, capable of handling a variety of different services, and programmable to meet the shifting needs of an ever-changing market.

Since such a standard will significantly reduce the costs associated with developing new services, it is seen as the key to unlocking a profitable market in chargeable in-vehicle communication services.

GST has organised its activities into a series of technology-oriented and service-oriented subprojects, which in turn reflects its two high-level objectives: the creation of an open market for on-line services and the deployment of safety services that can serve to reduce the number of fatal road accidents.

GST technology-oriented subprojects:
Certification, Open Systems, Service Payment, and Security

GST service-oriented subprojects:
Enhanced Floating Car Data, RESCUE, and Safety Channel

Objectives
Create an open and standardised framework architecture for end-to-end telematics.
