Currently, many fire trucks are being equipped with Around View Monitoring Systems (AVMS), commonly known as "360-degree vehicle imaging systems" or simply "360 panoramic view." This system is especially important for large specialized vehicles like fire trucks, which have long bodies, large wheelbases, and high driving positions, resulting in significant blind spots. In addition, factors such as the difference between inner and outer wheel paths when turning and the need for rapid response can create potential hazards due to these blind spots during driving.
The main functions of the 360 panoramic system include:
1， Real-time monitoring of the vehicle’s surroundings: Using cameras installed around the vehicle, the 360 panoramic system provides the driver with real-time imaging of the vehicle's 360-degree surroundings, helping the driver gain a clearer understanding of the situation and the environment, thereby avoiding potential blind spots.
2， Assisting with parking and driving: For specialized vehicles like fire trucks, precise operation during parking and driving is crucial. The 360 panoramic system offers a clearer visual reference for the driver, reducing judgment errors and enhancing the safety and efficiency of driving.
3， Video recording function: This system can also save video footage of the driving process, which can be used as driving records and reference material. This is valuable for post-incident analysis, training, or evaluating vehicle operations.
For fire trucks, which require quick responses and precise handling, the installation of a 360 panoramic system significantly improves operational safety and efficiency, while also reducing the likelihood of accidents in both routine and emergency situations.
