Abstract:
A method for an emergency vehicle alert system for transmitting signals from one or more emergency first vehicles to a nearby commuter second vehicle, comprising the steps of:a) activating an initiation switch in one or more of the emergency first vehicles; b) transmitting a uniquely individual signal stamp of a predefined frequency from a transmitter in each of the emergency first vehicles; c) receiving each of the predefined frequency signal stamps by a receiver in the commuter second vehicle; d) actuating by the receiver of a notification warning, for observation by an occupant in the commuter second vehicle; e) indicating by the receiver the number of emergency first vehicles in the vicinity, based on the uniquely individual signal of each emergency first vehicle; and f) counting down by the receiver the number of emergency first vehicles in the vicinity, as the emergency first vehicles travel beyond the transmitting range of each of the transmitters.
