Abstract

In this paper, we designed and implemented the active emergency call system for emergency call service actively. Active emergency call system has two physical components; E-Device (Emergency Mobile Device) and E-Server (Emergency Server). The role of E-Device is the mobile device in order to call emergency by using mild handicapped, the elderly and children who are able to communicate their intention to another. E-Server is the server for management E-Devices with realtime monitoring. E-Device will be developed to the portable size for easily mild handicapped, the elderly and children. When they need the service of emergency call, the button of E-Device can be used and the call signal is transmitted to the emergency office and the guardian through Internet and CDMA. E-Server should be developed the integrated control system for management of E-Devices basically. And it also supported to realtime monitoring of E-Devices with respect to high quality of emergency call service for rise the efficiency. And finally we describe the results of performance evaluation about the location error of E-Device between coordinate of GPS received signal and actual E-Device coordinate, when it has been called emergency, by using DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) formalism.
