COOPERATIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214092 titled 'COOPERATIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
The patent application describes a fire extinguishing system for vehicles that includes a fire detector, controllers in the vehicle on fire and surrounding vehicles, and a tank storing fire extinguishing water in the surrounding vehicle.
- Fire detector detects fire in a vehicle.
- Controller of the vehicle on fire transmits fire occurrence information and fire extinguishment request signal to surrounding vehicles.
- Controller of the surrounding vehicle receives fire occurrence information and determines whether to participate in fire extinguishment.
- Cooperative control for supplying fire extinguishing water from the surrounding vehicle to the vehicle on fire is performed.
- Tank in the surrounding vehicle stores fire extinguishing water for supply to the vehicle on fire.
Potential Applications: - Vehicle fire safety systems - Emergency response systems for vehicles - Cooperative fire extinguishing technology for vehicles
Problems Solved: - Rapid detection and extinguishment of fires in vehicles - Enhanced safety measures for vehicle occupants - Efficient use of resources for fire suppression in emergencies
Benefits: - Improved fire safety in vehicles - Quick response to fire incidents - Potential reduction in fire-related damages and injuries
Commercial Applications: Title: Vehicle Fire Safety Systems: Enhancing Emergency Response and Safety Measures This technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and emergency services to enhance fire safety measures in vehicles and improve emergency response capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine which surrounding vehicles should participate in fire extinguishment? 2. What are the key advantages of using a cooperative fire extinguishing system in vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
A fire extinguishing system includes a fire detector configured to detect a fire in a vehicle, a controller of the vehicle on fire to transmit fire occurrence information including a fire extinguishment request signal and vehicle location information to a surrounding vehicle and to perform a control process for fire extinguishment when determining a fire has occurred through the fire detector, a controller of the surrounding vehicle configured to receive the fire occurrence information from the vehicle on fire, to transmit a signal showing whether to participate in fire extinguishment determined by a driver to the vehicle on fire, and to perform cooperative control for supplying fire extinguishing water of the surrounding vehicle to the vehicle on fire together with the controller of the vehicle on fire, and a tank mounted in the surrounding vehicle and storing the fire extinguishing water which is supplied to the vehicle on fire.
