Description / Abstract:
1. Scope--This SAE Information Report is a summary of information
obtained by way of survey conducted during the 2Q and 3Q of 1997 of
MAYDAY system manufacturers. The data represented here has been
condensed from the original survey that was conducted by telephone
interviews and faxes. The information contained within is limited to
technical data as it pertains to vehicle and on-board MAYDAY system
operations. It does not contain business, marketing, or any proprietary
technical information. The complete survey results are in the
possession of the SAE.
The purpose of this survey was to determine whether the general concept
and architecture on which the SAE J2313 MAYDAY Message Set was being
developed is consistent with those of current MAYDAY system hardware
manufacturers. The survey was not intended for MAYDAY service providers
or public service answer points and emergency service providers.
Further studies, perhaps by organization such as NENA or APCO, may be
necessary to develop a complete vision of how complete MAYDAY response
centers and systems may be implemented.
