First Claim
Patent Images
1. A response vehicle, comprising:
- a transmission;
a braking subsystem; and
a vehicle management system coupled to at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem, the vehicle management system including an interlock module configured to provide a signal to switch the at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem from a locked condition to an operational condition only in response to an authenticated user request thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.

Abstract
A response vehicle includes a transmission, a braking subsystem, and a vehicle management system coupled to at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem. The vehicle management system includes an interlock module configured to provide a signal to switch the at least one of the transmission and the braking subsystem from a locked condition to an operational condition only in response to an authenticated user request thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.

10. A response vehicle management system, comprising:
-
a vehicle subsystem comprising at least one of a command system, a siren, a lighting system, a generator, a water pump system, a foam system, a water tank, a foam tank, a fuel tank, and a governor; a sensor configured to monitor the vehicle subsystem and provide a sensor signal corresponding thereto; a transceiver; and a processing circuit coupled to the sensor and the transceiver, wherein the processing circuit is configured to;
(a) evaluate data relating to the vehicle subsystem based on the sensor signal and (b) provide the data for transmission by the transceiver in response to an authenticated user request. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A response vehicle control system, comprising:
-
a response vehicle comprising a vehicle subsystem including at least one of a command system, a siren, a lighting system, a generator, a water pump system, a foam system, and a governor; a transceiver; and a processing circuit coupled to the transceiver and configured to;
(a) evaluate an access level of a user;
(b) provide user interface data for transmission by the transceiver;
(c) evaluate an authenticated command provided by the user; and
(d) provide a control signal to the vehicle subsystem in response to the authenticated command, wherein the user interface data provided by the processing circuit varies based on the access level of the user thereby preventing unauthorized control of the response vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
