Traffic management of emergency vehicles
(2017-2018) The project aimed to further develop the AD Aware Traffic Control platform with automated cloud services for sharing emergency vehicle information between AD Vehicles (i.e. VolvoCars DriveMe-cars) and Emergency Vehicle Coordinators (i.e. SOS Alarm).
The goal of this project was to connect to SOS-Alarm to get access to position and target area of ambulance and fire truck rescue missions and automatically force AD vehicles to return to manual drive when the EV mission approaches. This can look like a simple task, but it took deep understanding and some novel thinking to get a smooth working system.
The main deliverable from this project was a demonstration of the working system held at Lindholmen Science Park in August 2017. This demonstration showed the information flows from SOS-Alarm through to a Central Traffic Control platform and the data processing to the Volvo Car Traffic Control and to the AD vehicle and back again, as well as resetting the alert and actions.
The project utilized and built upon a lot of the already existing cloud infrastructure developed for the
Drive Sweden initiative.
