The ERA-GLONASS system aims to save lives and mitigate injuries of road traffic accident victims or casualties in other emergencies on Russian roads.

By using modern navigation, telecommunications and information technologies, the ERA-GLONASS system can reduce the time-to-arrival of the emergency services by 30% on average [1]. In the event of an accident, the car automatically establishes a call to the public emergency service and sends data (MSD) with the basic information and the GPS position.

In order to assure this system is working properly it must be tested and finally homologated by the official entity. Therefore, crash test laboratories have to be adapted in order to be able to carry out validation tests. This paper describes the testing requirements and the technical solutions achieved to provide car manufacturers a complete validation and homologation process for the ERA-GLONASS system built into cars.
