First Claim
1. Method for creating a relation between mobiles and a vehicle of a wireless communications network, the vehicle is equipped with an on-board device with wireless communication capability, the method comprising:
- broadcasting messages in the vehicle, to all mobiles within the vehicle, including vehicle identity information or information which can be used together with other information to get a unique identity of the vehicle;
sending a signal triggering all mobiles in the vehicle to transmit at least one of location area update messages, or re-register to network messages, to a mobility management controller;
sending first measurement reports from the mobiles to the mobility management controller, the reports including broadcasted messages or information based on the broadcast messages; and

Abstract
The present invention presents a method for creating a relation between mobiles and a vehicle of a wireless communications network. The vehicle is equipped with an on-board device with wireless communication capability. The present invention also presents an on-board device and a road user server to be used in such wireless communications network. Mobiles in the vehicle are triggered to report their location to the network. When the vehicle reports its location an association between the vehicle and the mobiles having same location information is performed. The triggering signal is sent on control channels triggering all mobiles, including mobiles in idle mode. Profiles of mobile users in a vehicle, based on location information and mobile identities, are retrieved and stored in lists which are forwarded to fore example hospitals and fire departments when an accident occurs.
