A fire extinguishing assistance system and a method for assisting in extinguishing an ongoing or imminent fire in a modular vehicle

A modular vehicle comprising:

• at least one driving module;
• a functional module that are releasably connected to the at least one driving module;
• and
• a fire extinguishing assistance system for assisting in extinguishing an ongoing or imminent fire in the modular vehicle, wherein the modular vehicle comprises at least one drive module and a functional module that are releasably connected, wherein the fire extinguishing assistance system comprises:
• a plurality of ports accessible from the outside of the modular vehicle;
• wherein each port is configured for receiving a fire extinguishing agent;
• an individual manifold connected to each port, wherein each individual manifold is arranged to guide the fire extinguishing agent received via the port and further to at least one nozzle directed in the inside of the modular vehicle;
• and
• one or more control devices configured to individually or collectively:
• detect an ongoing or imminent fire in the vehicle;
• and
• configure at least one of the plurality of ports selected for receiving a fire extinguishing agent to the ongoing or imminent fire, to assist in extinguishing the ongoing or imminent fire.

A method, performed in a modular vehicle, for assisting in extinguishing an ongoing or imminent fire in the modular vehicle, wherein the modular vehicle comprises at least one drive module and a functional module that are releasably connected, and a fire extinguishing assistance system comprising:

• a plurality of ports accessible from the outside of the modular vehicle;
• wherein each port is configured for receiving a fire extinguishing agent;
• and an individual manifold connected to each port, wherein each individual manifold is arranged to guide the fire extinguishing agent received via the port and further to at least one nozzle directed in the inside of the modular vehicle;
• wherein the method comprises:
• detecting an ongoing or imminent fire in the vehicle;
• and
• configuring at least one of the plurality of ports selected for receiving a fire extinguishing agent to the ongoing or imminent fire, to assist in extinguishing the ongoing or imminent fire.

A computer program product comprising computer program code stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, said computer program product used for assisting in extinguishing an ongoing or imminent fire in a modular vehicle, wherein the modular vehicle comprises at least one drive module and a functional module that are releasably connected, and a fire extinguishing assistance system comprising:

• a plurality of ports accessible from the outside of the modular vehicle;
• wherein each port is configured for receiving a fire extinguishing agent;
• and an individual manifold connected to each port, wherein each individual manifold is arranged to guide the fire extinguishing agent received via the port and further to at least one nozzle directed in the inside of the modular vehicle, said computer program code comprising computer instructions to cause one or more control units to perform the following operations:
• detecting an ongoing or imminent fire in the vehicle;
• and
• configuring at least one of the plurality of ports selected for receiving a fire extinguishing agent to the ongoing or imminent fire, to assist in extinguishing the ongoing or imminent fire.
