Abstract
A method for deploying a plurality of emergency signaling drones from a base vehicle includes detecting an emergency condition of the base vehicle; deploying the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle based on the detected emergency condition; maneuvering the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle to a respective plurality of signaling locations; and activating a plurality of emergency signaling assemblies on the plurality of emergency signaling drones to display an emergency signal at the respective plurality of signaling locations.
Claims19
A method for deploying a plurality of emergency signaling drones from a base vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of an emergency condition of the base vehicle;
- deploying the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle based on the emergency condition;
- maneuvering the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle to a respective plurality of signaling locations;
- and
- activating a plurality of emergency signaling assemblies on the plurality of emergency signaling drones to display an emergency signal at the respective plurality of signaling locations, wherein the plurality of emergency signaling drones are configured to enter a low-power mode upon activating the plurality of emergency signaling assemblies.
A system for deploying a plurality of emergency signaling drones from a base vehicle, the system comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more computer programs that include computer instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- receive an indication of an emergency condition of the base vehicle;
- deploy the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle based on the emergency condition;
- maneuver the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle to a respective plurality of signaling locations;
- and
- activate a plurality of emergency signaling assemblies on the plurality of emergency signaling drones to display an emergency signal at the respective plurality of signaling locations, wherein the plurality of emergency signaling drones are configured to enter a low-power mode upon activating the plurality of emergency signaling assemblies.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for deploying a plurality of emergency signaling drones from a base vehicle, the instructions configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computing system to cause the system to:
- receive an indication of an emergency condition of the base vehicle;
- deploy the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle based on the emergency condition;
- maneuver the plurality of emergency signaling drones from the base vehicle to a respective plurality of signaling locations;
- and
- activate a plurality of emergency signaling assemblies on the plurality of emergency signaling drones to display an emergency signal at the respective plurality of signaling locations, wherein the plurality of emergency signaling drones are configured to enter a low-power mode upon activating the plurality of emergency signaling assemblies.
