Abstract
A response vehicle includes a transmission, a braking subsystem, and a vehicle management system coupled to at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem. The vehicle management system includes an interlock module configured to provide a signal to switch the at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem from a locked condition to an operational condition only in response to an authenticated user request thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.
Claims16
A response vehicle, comprising:
- a transmission;
- a braking subsystem;
- and
- a vehicle management system coupled to at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem, the vehicle management system including a location module and an interlock module, wherein the location module is configured to provide location information relating to a location of the response vehicle, wherein the vehicle management system is configured to use the location information to determine if the response vehicle is arriving at an emergency scene, and wherein the interlock module is configured to provide a signal to switch the at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem from an operational condition to a locked condition in response to the vehicle management system entering a scene mode based on the response vehicle arriving at the emergency scene, thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.
