VS04: Special Vehicle Alert (Incident Response Vehicle Pilot Project)

Service Graphic

Definition:

This service package alerts the driver about the location of and the movement of public safety vehicles responding to an incident, slow moving vehicles, oversized vehicles, and other special vehicles that may require special attention from the driver. These public safety, commercial, maintenance, and transit vehicles share their current status and location with surrounding vehicles so that other drivers in the vicinity can avoid interfering with their actions and avoid collisions. Either direct communication between vehicles or a 3rd party back office service may be used to provide this data to nearby vehicles.
