Soltare Inc has developed, iHearTM , the first to market Emergency Vehicle Siren Detection System for passenger and fleet vehicles with the engineering support of ACAMP. This new technology leads the industry by supporting both present vehicle technologies and future intelligent autonomous systems.
Passenger and fleet vehicle collisions with ambulances, police and fire rescue results in billions of dollars of property damage, lost work hours, lawsuits and insurance claims, in addition to the cost of an emergency vehicle failing to reach its intended destination. Many of these tragedies result from drivers failing to hear emergency vehicle sirens. Even when sirens are heard, ascertaining direction of oncoming emergency vehicles is a serious driver distraction.
In Dec 2016, Soltare began the development of a system to fix this problem. Today Soltare is working with municipal and private fleet vehicles, along with vehicle OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
“I am proud to deliver a safety product to the automotive industry. About ten years ago in my last company, an employee had a collision with an ambulance. He did not hear the ambulance as he entered the intersection, resulting in a serious collision. Since that time, I have wanted to solve this problem. This can finally be realized now that technology has caught up. So, I engaged ACAMP to support the development.” said Warren Sheydwasser, Soltare President
“Over the past few years of development and testing, ACAMP used simulation, design for manufacturing and best practices for the automotive industry to deliver this new technology. Patents have been filed on behalf of Soltare.” says Ken Brizel, ACAMP CEO.
