Timely Hazard Alerts

What is digital alerting?

Digital alerting is an electronic notification sent directly to a driver. HAAS Alert leverages this technology through its flagship platform Safety Cloud®. Emergency or roadside vehicles equipped with Safety Cloud send digital alerts straight to drivers through navigation apps or vehicle infotainment centers. These alerts notify drivers that there is an emergency vehicle or roadside worker nearby and they should slow down and move over.

How does Safety Cloud digital alerting work?

Digital alerts warn drivers of emergency vehicles and crews, work zones, and other hazards, allowing them more time to slow down, move over and make safer maneuvers. When your emergency or flashing lights are activated, Safety Cloud begins notifying drivers that your crew/vehicles are nearby. Digital alerts are proven to be more effective today than traditional lights and sirens.

Safety Cloud protects emergency personnel and roadside operators by broadcasting two types of alerts to approaching drivers:

• Stationary alerts: When your emergency lights are on and your vehicle has been stationary for at least 30 seconds, Safety Cloud creates an event and begins alerting nearby drivers of your presence.
• Moving alerts: When an emergency vehicle is en route to an incident with emergency lights activated, public safety fleets send out these alerts to warn nearby drivers that they're approaching.

The benefits of digital alerting

Safety Cloud goes beyond collision risk reduction to include the following:

1. Operational efficiency: Use the Safety Cloud dashboard to dig into historical data and incident statistics so you can enhance safety initiatives.
2. Streamlined traffic flow: R2V alerts notify drivers about nearby lane closures. That way, they can move lanes without congesting traffic.
3. Expedited emergency operations: When a driver knows you’re nearby, they can quickly clear the path for your responding vehicle to make it to an incident faster.
4. Safer on-scene environment: When nearby drivers are informed of your emergency scene, they’ll be able to give responders the space they need to safely do their jobs.
5. Move Over law compliance: A visual and audible alert like Safety Cloud catches drivers’ attention early. That way, they can quickly slow down and move over.
6. Peace of mind: Your crew can have peace of mind that they are safe because drivers are being notified of your presence.

How do drivers receive Safety Cloud digital alerts?

Safety Cloud delivers alerts to drivers in ways they cannot miss. Currently, drivers can receive Safety Cloud alerts through select navigation apps and compatible in-vehicle infotainment centers.

Navigation apps

Those who use leading navigation apps, such as Waze, receive both moving and stationary alerts from Safety Cloud.

Stellantis vehicles

Drivers of compatible 2018 and newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles receive Safety Cloud alerts through Stellantis’ in-vehicle Emergency Vehicle Alert System. Drivers will receive an audible tone as well as a message displaying the relevant hazard.

How do I equip my fleet with Safety Cloud digital alerting?

No matter the age, make, or model of your alerting vehicle, it can be equipped with Safety Cloud digital alerts through one of the three following methods:

HA-7 Transponder: integration with existing warning lights

The HA-7 transponder can be installed on any fleet, vehicle, or equipment. It doesn't matter the make, model, or age. The HA-7 connects directly and synchronizes with your flashing lights.

HA-Direct Integration: activate on leading telematics platforms

Safety Cloud also integrates with leading fleet management and telematics solutions, such as Ericsson and Samsara. That means you’ll be able to start alerting through those platforms without installing additional hardware.

Preinstalled and prepaid on new apparatus

Safety Cloud service comes preinstalled and prepaid on new vehicles and apparatus from manufacturers such as Pierce, Frazer, and Rosenbauer. You can also spec HAAS Alert on any new custom build with any manufacturer.
