Abstract
The present invention provides a system, a method and a computer usable medium including a program for providing emergency information from a communication device outside a vehicle. This may be done by transmitting an encoded emergency information signal from a communication device located outside of a vehicle to onboard vehicle receiver. It may also be done by sending the encoded emergency information from the onboard receiver to the onboard communication relay device, by transmitting the encoded emergency information signal from the onboard communication relay device to a call center and by decoding the emergency information signal received at the call center.
