Abstract
A vehicle system can include a plurality of portable devices, a vehicle, and a control system. The plurality of portable devices can be configured to be positioned variously about a scene. The vehicle can include a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a vehicle lighting device coupled to at least one of the cab or the body, and an aerial device rotatably coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body. The control system can be configured to control an operation of at least one of the vehicle lighting device, the aerial device, or the plurality of portable devices based on a position of the plurality of portable devices and the vehicle at the scene.
Claims18
A vehicle system comprising:
- a plurality of portable devices configured to be positioned variously about a scene, each of the plurality of portable devices includes a light;
- a vehicle including:
- a chassis;
- a cab coupled to the chassis;
- a body coupled to the chassis;
- and
- a vehicle lighting device coupled to at least one of the cab or the body;
- and
- a control system configured to coordinate operation of the light of each of the plurality of portable devices based on a position of each of the plurality of portable devices relative to the vehicle when the vehicle is at the scene with the plurality of portable devices;
- wherein the plurality of portable devices includes:
- a first portable device configured to be disposed at a first distance relative to the vehicle, the first portable device including a first light;
- and
- a second portable device configured to be disposed at a second distance relative to the vehicle greater than the first distance, the second portable device including a second light;
- and
- wherein the control system is configured to coordinate operation of the first light and the second light based on the first distance and the second distance relative to the vehicle such that the second light is emitted at a different time than the first light is emitted.
