Call 112
It is an application for mobile phones with Android and iOS systems, capable of generating location information and transmitting the geographical position of the phone. The application uses the data connection (internet) and the location service of the mobile phone (GPS) to transmit to the computer system of the emergency service 112 the location information in AML (Advanced Mobile Location) format, containing the geographical coordinates of the mobile phone. The application is free and can be downloaded to phones from the Google Play application stores (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.sts.apel112) and AppStore (https://itunes.apple.com/ro/app/apel-112/id1444872263?mt=8) and does not require the user to be enrolled in a SNUAU computer system.
Using the Call 112 application
When accessing the Call 112 application for the first time, the user must accept the Terms and Conditions. At the same time, to associate the location information with the call to 112, the user must enter in the application the phone number or numbers related to the phone on which the application is installed, for dual SIM terminals.
When accessing the application, the latitude and longitude corresponding to the geographical position in which it is located are displayed on the phone screen, in the WGS84 coordinate system, with a resolution of no more than 5 decimal places, which is equivalent to a precision of 1.1 meters on the ground (the precision is limited by the characteristics of the GPS receiver, a typical value being 10 meters). When pressing the Call 112 button, the application will extract and transmit the location information to the SNUAU computer system, through a data message containing the location information (or two, if the caller has a dual SIM phone and has filled in both phone numbers in the application), through the https transfer protocol. The processing of GPS location information received in the SNUAU IT system will be based on their association with calls received to the emergency number 112 from the same phone number that generated the message transmitted via the https protocol (similar to the processing of primary location information of the cellID type). If the location information is not automatically transmitted in the 112 system, the coordinates can be transmitted verbally by the caller and entered and positioned manually on the map by the 112 operator.
