US 2020/0221250 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VELOCITY-BASED GEOFENCING FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE

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.

Dependent claims

A system for providing an emergency vehicle alert, comprising:

a first device installed as a part of an emergency vehicle (EV) or attached to the EV, comprising:
one or more sensors configured to collect EV-related data including a velocity of the EV from the EV;
a first processor configured to generate a data signal including the EV-related data;
and
a first transmitter configured to transmit the data signal to a management server;
and
the management server in communication with the EV, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive the data signal from the EV;
a second processor configured to determine a geofence for the EV based only on the received EV-related data of the data signal and generate a safety warning signal including geofence information associated with the geofence, a size of the geofence increasing when the velocity of the EV increases;
and
a second transmitter configured to transmit the safety warning signal to a second device installed as a part of another vehicle near the EV or attached to the another vehicle.
