The cooperation between Rosenbauer and Moditech has existed since the beginning of EMEREC development. An important factor of the collaboration is the complete integration of the Moditech solution in the EMEREC operational management system. This gives emergency services a complete software solution.

Technological development in the automotive industry is progressing rapidly. Technical assistance - including traffic accidents - is most common in fire department statistics. Airbags and restraint systems at critical points in a vehicle have long been standard equipment. These protect vehicle occupants in the event of accidents, but pose new challenges for emergency response organizations. In addition, the "new mobility", especially alternative drive concepts, contributes to a changed danger situation at the place of use.

Accordingly, rescue workers are confronted with vehicle components that represent an active hazard in action. In the case of electric vehicles, the on-board electrical system can cause an electric shock if the rescue equipment is handled incorrectly. The corresponding detailed knowledge of the installation position of a high-voltage battery or the high-voltage disconnector is also important for safe and targeted rescue.

Presentation of hazard potential

Furthermore, the risk potential of so-called ultracapacitors, which include for start and stop systems in vehicles, be correctly displayed and assessable. These components can outgas in the event of an accident, i.e. liquid in the form of mist emerges from the condenser. This can be inhaled by the victim but also by the rescue workers and then leads to irritation of the respiratory tract, skin or eyes. In any case, this must be prevented.
