RESPONSE VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A response vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle subsystem comprising at least one of a transmission, a braking system, a lighting system, a generator, a water pump system, a foam system, a water tank, a foam tank, a transmission system, and a tire inflation system;
a sensor configured to monitor the vehicle subsystem and provide a sensor signal corresponding thereto;
a detector configured to receive an identification signal from a piece of equipment that is separate from the detector in response to the piece of equipment being within a predetermined distance of the detector;
a display configured to present a plurality of interfaces to a user; and
a vehicle management system coupled to the vehicle subsystem, the sensor, the display, and the detector, the vehicle management system configured to;
receive the sensor signal from the sensor;
generate a vehicle subsystem display dataset based on the received sensor signal;
transmit the vehicle subsystem display dataset to the display to present the user with a graphical representation of the sensor signal;
receive the identification signal from the detector;
generate an inventory display dataset based at least in part on the received identification signal; and
transmit the inventory display dataset to the display to present the user with an indication that the piece of equipment is within the predetermined distance of the detector.

Abstract
A response vehicle includes a vehicle subsystem, a sensor configured to monitor the vehicle subsystem and provide a sensor signal corresponding thereto, a detector configured to receive an identification signal from a piece of equipment, a display, and a vehicle management system. The vehicle management system is configured to receive the sensor signal from the sensor, generate a vehicle subsystem display dataset based on the received sensor signal, transmit the vehicle subsystem display dataset to the display to present the user with a graphical representation of the sensor signal, receive the identification signal from the detector, generate an inventory display dataset based at least in part on the received identification signal, and transmit the inventory display dataset to the display to present the user with an equipment inventory interface.

10. A control system for a response vehicle, comprising:
-
an emergency vehicle database configured to store; an equipment inventory list of a plurality of pre-identified pieces of equipment, wherein the plurality of pre-identified pieces of equipment is specific to a particular response vehicle with which the control system is configured to be associated; and a plurality of inspection instruction datasets associated with each of the pre-identified pieces of equipment, the inspection instruction datasets being configured to present a user with inspection instructions via a user device; a transceiver; and a processing circuit comprising a memory and a processor, the memory structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to; receive, by the transceiver, a connection request from a user device associated with a user, the user device being separate from the response vehicle; establish, by the transceiver, a secure connection with the user device in response to receiving the connection request; receive, by the transceiver, a first input from the user device, the first input indicating a user request to inspect at least a subset of the pre-identified pieces of equipment; generate an equipment inventory list display dataset based on the equipment inventory list stored in the response vehicle database, the inventory list display dataset being specifically formatted to be viewable via the user device; and transmit, by the transceiver, the equipment inventory list display dataset to the user device via the secure connection for presentation to the user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a vehicle management system of a response vehicle, an indication that a plurality of pieces of equipment are within a predetermined distance of the response vehicle, the pieces of equipment being separate from the response vehicle; receiving, by the vehicle management system, a plurality of sensor signals originating from a sensor associated with the response vehicle, the sensor being associated with a response vehicle subsystem, the response vehicle subsystem comprising at least one of a transmission, a braking system, a lighting system, a generator, a water pump system, a foam system, a water tank, a foam tank, a transmission system, and a tire inflation system, the sensor signal indicating an operation status of at least one aspect of the response vehicle subsystem; identifying, by the vehicle management system, a piece of equipment that is missing by comparing the plurality of pieces of equipment within the predetermined distance of the response vehicle with a baseline inventory list stored in a database associated with the response vehicle; determining, by the vehicle management system, that a relationship between a received sensor signal and a baseline value for the sensor signal is indicative of a response vehicle subsystem operating at a sub-optimal level; generating, by the vehicle management subsystem, a readiness report for the response vehicle, the readiness report identifying the missing piece of equipment and the sub-optimal operational level of the response vehicle subsystem; and transmitting, by the vehicle management subsystem, the readiness report to a user device associated with a user, the user device being separate from the response vehicle.
