Low Level Function
2.1.2.3 Plan Emergency Intervention

Overview

This Function shall be capable of providing the following facilities:

(1) The ability to define and/or build the emergency plan that defines how the Emergency Services will respond a particular incident.
(2) As part of the definition of the emergency plan, be able to select the required emergency services, use pre-defined response procedures, request (green wave) routes for Emergency Vehicles and request that the routes are implemented.
(3) The ability to contact the required emergency services and establish with them the action plans.

Functional Requirements

(a) wait for an emergency to be planned
(b) load all information on emergency
(c) choose the right procedure for the emergency
(d) inside the procedure:
- contact emergency services
- plan their intervention : select the emergency route (pre-defined route or new computed one if needed)
- send the selected route to emergency driver
- store the plan
- request for emergency processing.

    Description

    5.1.0.2
    The system shall be able to detect that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, identify its location, and initiate an 'eCall' automatically.
    5.1.0.3
    The system shall be able to identify the vehicle location, and make an 'eCall' on the command of a vehicle occupant.
    5.1.0.7
    The system shall be able to send an 'eCall' if a critical vehicle component goes into an unsafe condition, or some other emergency is detected.
    5.1.0.8
    The system shall be able to minimise the response time for rescuing drivers who have requested assistance from the emergency services (breakdown, medical emergency, accident etc.).
    5.2.0.1
    The system shall support a green wave for emergency vehicles.
    5.2.0.2
    The system shall inform the TCC about the route that is intended for each green wave before it is used.
    5.2.0.3
    The system shall provide the identity of each traffic signal at which priority is needed, and the 'timing window' in which priority is to be given.
    5.2.0.5
    The system shall enable emergency vehicles to pass through the road network without any priority at signalised junctions, e.g. during a return from an incident.
    5.3.0.1
    The system shall monitor the movements of hazardous goods, and provide appropriate support in the case of an incident.
    5.3.0.2
    The system shall be able to provide the location of hazardous goods.
    5.3.1.1
    The system shall be able to detect that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, identify its location and contents, and generate an emergency alert automatically.
    5.3.1.2
    The system shall be able to identify its location and contents, and generate an emergency alert on the command of the vehicle driver.
    5.3.1.3
    The system shall be able to advise the emergency services on the contents of any vehicle that has been involved in an incident.
    5.3.1.4
    The system shall be able to provide relevant information to the emergency services on the type of hazardous good(s) involved in an incident.
    7.2.0.8
    The system shall be able to suggest one or more responses for dealing with an incident.
    7.2.1.2
    The system shall be able to co-ordinate the emergency and rescue services once an incident has been detected, until all injured persons have reached a hospital.
    7.2.1.3
    The system shall provide communications between the emergency services, hospitals and TCCs for the provision of incident information.
    7.2.2.1
    The system shall be able to collect and store data on each incident, e.g. location, type, severity, number & type of vehicles involved, the emergency/rescue vehicles needed etc.
    7.2.6.1
    The system shall be able to advise the emergency services on any hazardous goods that have been involved in an incident.
    7.4.8.7
    The system shall be able to advise the driver, via an in-vehicle device, of an appropriate lane to use to create a “blue corridor”.
    7.5.2.3
    The system shall enable a traffic signal controller to receive a request for a green phase from an approaching vehicle; in the event that more than one conflicting request is received at the same time they shall be prioritised (e.g. emergency vehicles before private vehicles), possibly by the TCC operator.
    9.4.0.3
    The system shall be able to identify the vehicle's location, and make a 'May Day' call to the emergency services on the command of a vehicle occupant.
    9.4.0.4
    The system shall be able to detect that the vehicle has been involved in an incident, identify its location, and initiate a 'May Day' call to the emergency services automatically.
    9.5.6.8
    The system shall enable a vehicle carrying hazardous goods to request appropriate assistance in the case of an incident or accident (eCall).
