CaseStudy SAFE Webformat

The SAFE Vehicles project aimed to develop a standardized framework to support new technologies in emergency response vehicles. A concept police vehicle was outfitted with advanced technologies like remote network access, automated license plate and fingerprint recognition, and live video feeds. However, these technologies placed heavy demands on the vehicle's battery and driver. The SAFE Vehicles project addressed this by designing a power management controller and standard interface platform to minimize duplication and driver distraction. Going forward, the project will continue applying virtual engineering to create smarter, safer, and cleaner emergency response vehicles of the future.

Standardised Approach for Emergency Vehicles

Information and communication technologies have gained widespread adoption
throughout society, and as such, emergency services are quickly learning to
harness the positive benefits of these technologies for driver safety and security,
reduced response times, speed enforcement, and navigation assistance. VPAC, in
collaboration with the AutoCRC, Monash University Accident and Research Centre,
Monash University Electrical Engineering and the National Safety Agency (NSA),
developed a modular, standardised and adaptable framework to support new and
future technologies in the public safety arena. The project, called the Standardised
Approach for Emergency (SAFE) Vehicles, addressed issues surrounding driver
distraction, in-vehicle system integration and power management.

Advanced Human Machine Interface & Power Management

A concept police vehicle, based on the Holden VE SV6 Commodore, was built to trial
advanced information and communication technologies including remote network
access, automated number plate and fingerprint recognition, video surveillance
access, live traffic feeds and vehicle diagnostics. The advanced police car has five
networks including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi which allows it to connect to PDAs or stream a
live video feed to other police cars.

Vehicle of the Future of our national safety and security response teams, they place heavy demands on
the standard car battery and the vehicle driver. Working with the AutoCRC, VPAC
designed a power supply management controller to improve power flow to in-
vehicle components and a standard interface platform to minimise the duplication
of technology. VPAC also evaluated the ergonomics design and human-machine
interface issues for minimising driver distraction and improving safety and user
interaction with technology.
