Abstract

A response vehicle system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine whether a response vehicle has arrived at a scene and provide a signal to switch the response vehicle from an operational condition to a locked condition at least in response to the vehicle arriving at the scene, thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.

Claims (17)

1. A response vehicle system comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to:

acquire location information relating to a location of a response vehicle;

determine whether the response vehicle has arrived at a scene based on the location information; and

provide a signal to switch the response vehicle from an operational condition to a locked condition at least in response to the response vehicle arriving at the scene, thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.

2. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to provide the signal to reconfigure a transmission of the response vehicle to switch the response vehicle from the operational condition to the locked condition.

3. The response vehicle system of claim 2 , wherein the locked condition corresponds to a parking gear of the transmission, and wherein the operational condition corresponds with at least one of a neutral gear or a drive gear of the transmission.

4. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to provide the signal to reconfigure a braking system of the response vehicle to switch the response vehicle from the operational condition to the locked condition.

5. The response vehicle system of claim 4 , wherein the locked condition corresponds to an engaged configuration whereby the braking system is configured to limit movement of the response vehicle, and wherein the operational condition corresponds to a disengaged configuration whereby the braking system is not configured to limit movement of the response vehicle.

6. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to provide a second signal to switch the response vehicle from the locked condition to the operational condition in response to receiving and authenticating a user unlock request.

7. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to permit operation of an engine, a siren, and a lighting system of the response vehicle while the response vehicle is in the locked condition.

8. The response vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to permit operation of a pump and at least one of a water system or a foam system of the response vehicle while the response vehicle is in the locked condition.

9. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to switch the response vehicle from the operational condition to the locked condition in response to (i) the response vehicle arriving at the scene and (ii) receiving a user lock request from at least one of a display device, a button, a switch, a parking brake, or a wireless control interface associated with the response vehicle.

10. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to switch the response vehicle from the operational condition to the locked condition in response to (i) the response vehicle arriving at the scene and (ii) a driver door of the response vehicle being opened.

11. The response vehicle system of claim 1 , further comprising the response vehicle, wherein the response vehicle includes the processor and a transceiver configured to facilitate localized wireless communication with another vehicle and a mobile device, wherein the processor is configured to:

determine if retransmission of a respective signal transmitted by a first one of the mobile device or the other vehicle is necessary for the respective signal to reach a second one of the mobile device or the other vehicle; and

retransmit the respective signal such that the respective signal reaches the second one of the mobile device or the other vehicle.
