HAAS Alert wins federal grant to develop Cellular V2X emergency vehicle warning syst
Summary
By working with the FRRG, HAAS Alert will have the opportunity to ensure the top-priority needs of the first responder community are met during product development. HAAS Alert provides collision prevention technologies and products to first responders and other municipal fleets, with its proprietary system already in use by about 50 cities across the USA. The service streams real-time safety messages to drivers and connected cars via in-vehicle systems and smartphone apps when emergency vehicles are approaching and on-scene. “Collisions between first responders and civilian motorists are at an all-time high and the situation is worsening,” explained Cory Hohs, CEO of HAAS Alert. “This partnership with DHS S&T and the FRRG gives us the opportunity to further develop our Cellular V2X technology and bring advanced vehicle safety solutions to US roads, communities and automotive markets more quickly.” HAAS Alert’s chief operating officer, Noah Levens, said, “The contract gives us 12 to 18 months to develop new hardware, namely a mobile advanced warning device (AWD) for responder-to-vehicle communication, and retool our existing software.
