Abstract
A vehicle includes a chassis, a driveline coupled to the chassis, and a control system. The control system is configured to monitor a condition of at least one of the vehicle, an area around the vehicle, or an operator of the vehicle; and control operation of the driveline based on the condition. Controlling the operation of the driveline includes at least one of limiting a speed at which the driveline drives the vehicle or shutting down the driveline and isolating a component of the driveline.
Claims19
A vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a driveline coupled to the chassis;
- a light system;
- a siren;
- and
- a control system configured to:
- monitor a condition of at least one of the vehicle, an area around the vehicle, or an operator of the vehicle;
- limit a speed at which the driveline drives the vehicle based on the condition, wherein the condition includes at least one of:
- (a) a tire chain condition indicated by tire chains being installed on wheels of the vehicle or an automatic tire chain system of the vehicle being deployed;
- (b) a hazard lights condition indicated by hazard lights of the vehicle being active;
- or
- (c) an adverse weather condition indicated by windshield wipers of the vehicle being active;
- monitor a location of the vehicle;
- automatically control operation of at least one of the siren or the light system in a first manner in response to the location indicating that the vehicle is at least one of approaching or driving through an intersection or a high-risk area;
- and
