dguard: intelligent emergency call system for motorcycles
Clever emergency call in case of an accident - even if the driver is unconscious.
dguard automatically detects when the motorcycle is involved in an accident situation. The system immediately and directly alerts the emergency call center to quickly call for professional help. Therefore, it sends the current coordinates of the motorbike involved in the accident and connects the motorcyclist's bluetooth headset with the call center. This way - if the rider is conscious - information about the accident can be exchanged quickly and directly. Further functions: manual emergency call by pushing the SOS button, theft warning, touring roadbook.
dguard is based on the digades D300 platform.

Accident detection and intelligent emergency call
Reliable crash detection
The dguard crash algorithm detects almost all possible accident scenarios by including several input variables. The system works independently, the required sensors are already integrated in the dguard module.
Procedure of the emergency call
- If an accident is detected, dguard establishes a voice connection and transmits relevant information to:
- national emergency call centers (PSAP)
- optional: the common European eCall service or a certified service provider
- optional: a digades infrastructure solution
- the position data determined by the GPS antenna are communicated to the call center via voice message
- the rider is connected directly to the 112 emergency call centre via his paired Bluetooth headset to transmit further information
Theft warning
Theft warning: silent alarm with current position data
The theft warning enables an immediate notification of the motorcycle owner. The message (push or email) also contains the current position data of the motorcycle.
Facts about the theft warning
- Theft warning is activated after the ignition is switched off
- Sensitivity of the sensors can be set by the user
- Notification by alarm tone and push message on the smartphone
- Additional notification by Email to an address the user has chosen himself is possible
- Theft warning contains the last transmitted position of the motorcycle and can be displayed on a map in the app
- Position data is updated regularly

Technical details
Clever technology composition for motorcycles
The power supply of the dguard module guarantees a power-saving operation, which saves the vehicle battery, even when the vehicle is not in motion for a longer period of time, by operating in wake-up mode. The position recognition is carried out by a GNSS module (GPS, GLONASS), whereby the last position is transmitted via 2G mobile phone communication. The software is based on the AUTOSAR 4.01 stack. With the complete "over the air" update capability and a permanently integrated SIM chip, digades guarantees a long-term stable and usable system.
