The Next Generation of Mobility – Digitalization of Monitoring and Security in Emergency Services

Case Study: Monitoring, Surveillance, and Security for Emergency Services

Client Request: Implementing a Digital Logbook with a Reservation/Planning System, Continuous Monitoring, and Additional Vehicle Security

Both the Municipal Police and the Fire Rescue Service approached us to provide a monitoring and surveillance system for their vehicles, ensuring control over their status, including the activation of emergency lights.

One of the key requirements was the implementation of a reservation and planning system that would enable all vehicle-related operations to be managed within a single system. This system also needed to include various types of automated checks and reports, as well as a monitoring panel that allows different groups of vehicles to be displayed based on the user's authorization level.

Another crucial requirement was monitoring vehicle condition and scheduling maintenance based on usage or damage sustained during operations or emergency interventions.

Xmarton’s Optimization of the Initial Request (Enhanced Personnel Identification in Vehicles)

As an added feature, we proposed the option of identifying individuals in the vehicle. This can be done either by scanning an identification card or chip on a concealed reader or through automatic identification using a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip.

Our Biggest Challenge – Integration with Emergency Lights and Sirens

One of the main challenges was finding an efficient way to integrate with the emergency light and siren systems while minimizing modifications to the vehicles. Since control units are not always located near the operation panel, ensuring seamless connectivity required innovative technical solutions.

Benefits of Cooperation Between Emergency Services and Xmarton

By implementing Xmarton’s system, emergency services experienced the following benefits:

Quantitative Benefits:

• Reduced time spent on administrative and operational tasks related to fleet management

• Automated reporting and real-time vehicle status evaluation

Qualitative Benefits:

• Enhanced vehicle security – In case of a potential vehicle misuse concern, the control center can remotely disable the vehicle’s ignition while allowing keys to remain inside.

• Precise reporting on emergency light usage – Ensuring transparency and accountability in vehicle operations.

• Regulation compliance monitoring – Enhanced oversight of adherence to traffic and safety regulations.
