At some point in time drivers will have to deal with emergency vehicles, intersections and other cautionary zones on the roads or highways. With today’s high volume of traffic, this can pose a hazard to emergency personnel, civilians, as well as personal safety.
BOLO 911 is a system that alerts a civilian driver of any emergencies or cautions that are in the immediate area with the use of radio waves. BOLO 911 would detect when a warning signal or siren in an emergency vehicle is turned on, as well as detecting when a Cautionary Zone or Danger, such as railroad crossing or school buses that are in the vicinity.
BOLO 911 then relays how close the incoming emergency vehicle or target area is in association to the driver’s current position. BOLO 911 displays colored warning lights, while emitting an audible tone. If the emergency or caution is far away, the series of light may only illuminate one or two, but if the emergency is closer, more lights would illuminate. BOLO 911 not only warns driver of any incoming danger, but also gives the civilian driver plenty of time to get out of the way, therefore keeping people safe, and allowing emergency personnel to do their job quickly and without incident.
