Emergency calls are becoming mobile with the spread of mobile phones. In order to exploit this potential, we are developing LifeService, the first free emergency call system from a mobile phone with localisation options. This finally closes an important security gap. Although the spread of mobile phones has made emergency calls faster, it has had one serious disadvantage: the vast majority of callers are unable to give their exact location. Emergency services then have to spend a lot of time searching for the scene of the accident, wasting vital time. The intelligent LifeService software system can locate mobile phones and automatically transmit the location details to the rescue coordination centre when an emergency call is made.
