GST - Global System for Telematics enabling On-line Safety Services

GST is an industry-wide effort that is facilitating to bring new telematics services to the market. The vision of GST is that all future vehicles will be equipped with various communication means to interact with each other and their environment based on a common architecture and standard interfaces.

Drivers and occupants will be able to rely on an on-board, integrated telematics system to access a dynamic offer of on-line safety, efficiency and comfort-enhancing services wherever they drive in Europe. They will be able to access their portfolio of services throughout Europe with a single system, single contract and single invoice.

The in-vehicle telematics units will also act as an enabler for autonomous applications, allowing the updating of on-board information to improve the accuracy and reliability of on-board safety-critical applications.

The project has 7 focal points (sub-projects): open systems, security, service payment, certification, enhanced floating car data, Safety Channel (next generation TMC) and Rescue (eCall and beyond).

To achieve this vision, GST will create an open and standardised framework architecture for end-to-end telematics. The openness relates to the ability of the architecture to support (multiple) existing and new bearers and protocols as well as common mechanisms for the removal, updating and installation of new services and applications, based on common standards, that will work across different delivery infrastructures and in-vehicle equipment. Standards are necessary for the key interfaces allowing hiding the complexity and heterogeneousness of the supporting technologies.
