Emergency signal intercepting unit

摘要

A system to provide a warning to a person in a vehicle when the vehicle is proximal or in a danger area to an emergency services vehicle or a hazard area, the system comprising an emitter on the emergency services vehicle or in or adjacent the hazard area, a radio associated with the vehicle, the radio having a receiver to receive the signal from the emitter, a speaker, a decoder to send a warning signal to the speaker when the receiver receives a signal from the emitter.

1. A system to provide a warning to a person in a vehicle when the vehicle is proximal or in a danger area to an emergency services vehicle or a hazard area, the system comprising
a. an emitter on the emergency services vehicle or in or adjacent the hazard area; b. a radio associated with the vehicle and a receiver sub-unit to receive a signal from the emitter, and at least one speaker; of the vehicle; and c. a unit including
i. the receiver sub-unit to receive a radio transmission from the emitter on the emergency services vehicle or in or adjacent to the hazard area,ii. a decoder sub-unit to send a warning signal to a changeover switch sub-unit; andiii. the changeover switch sub-unit switching between an audio signal from the radio and the warning signal from the decoder sub-unit and sends the warning signal to the at least one speaker when the receiver sub-unit receives the signal from the emitter to interrupt a radio output when the warning signal is sent;iiii. the unit connected to the at least one speaker and a vehicle power source such that the warning signal is produced by at least one speaker from the decoder sub-unit through the changeover switch sub-unit when received without the warning signal relaying through the radio, the unit connected between the radio of the vehicle and the power source such that if the unit fails, the at least one speaker remains unpowered and will not function and the changeover switch sub-unit being normally closed to the decoder sub-unit; and d. a cancelling switch to cancel the warning signal and return the speakers to normal operation even if the emitter is still within proximity to the vehicle to prevent the warning signal from being reactivated by the emergency services vehicle or whilst within or adjacent to the hazard area but allowing warning signals to be produced based on a radio transmission from the emitter on a second or further emergency services vehicle or in or adjacent to a second or further hazard area.
