Abstract

A system, method and storage medium for providing an emergency vehicle alert includes a first device collecting EV-related data, a management server receiving the EV-related data from the first device, the management server determining a geofence for the EV by dynamically adjusting a size or shape of the geofence at least based on a velocity of the EV-related data, the management server generating a safety warning signal including geofence information associated with the determined geofence, the management server transmitting the safety warning signal to a second device, a second device receiving the safety warning signal, the second device determining whether the another vehicle is located within the geofence based on the safety warning signal, the second device performing one or more alert actions when the another vehicle is located within the geofence, and the second device performing no alert action when the another vehicle is out of the geofence.

Abstract

A fixed lighting assembly that is able to change between configurations, including from a floodlight to a spotlight and any configuration in between, allows for a substantial improvement in performance and safety of a vehicle. Additionally, the fixed lighting assembly includes the capability for the light beam to move across one or more axis to steer the light to a desired direction without the use of moving parts. Instead, the steering is performed using lenses, strategically placed LEDs, optics, and associated drivers to illuminate different areas and create a variety of beam shapes. Additionally, the brightness or intensity of the beam can also be changed without using moving parts. A control module may be used to automatically configure these changes. The fixed lighting assembly may be manually controlled to change to one or more preconfigured modes, such as a spotlight mode, flood light mode, landing mode, taxiing mode, etc.

Abstract

A self-assembling network is configured to automatically and dynamically connect devices used in operations carried out on or near roads bearing vehicle and pedestrian traffic. An automatic, ad hoc network connecting existing and new devices can be used to enhance safety by gathering and exchanging safety critical information. In some cases, existing equipment can be augmented with a network controller and radio frequency communications to permit the devices to join a wireless local network and exchange information over the network. New devices, including wearable devices, can be configured to act as nodes on the wireless local network. Establishing the relative position of vehicles, sensors, wearables, and other nodes on the disclosed ad hoc wireless network allows the coordination of functions based on position.
