    Detailed description
    The object of the present invention relates to a device (1) for recording the status of the equipment elements of a priority vehicle, which stores the exact time at which a change in the elements is generated. Thus, when the status of the elements of the emergency equipment is recorded, the number of hours of operation and / or the condition of the individual elements can be counted at a particular time, for example when an accident has occurred, enabling preventative maintenance to be carried out on the equipment elements and preventing damage to it. Subsequently, this information is recorded in a non-volatile memory (4).
    The information is useful, for example, when a priority rescue vehicle (ambulances, police vehicles, etc.) in use collides with a normal vehicle. Thanks to the data recorded in the memory (4) of the device (1), it can be determined whether the vehicle was driving at this time with the priority lights switched on and the siren (7) switched on.
    It is known that there is no standard equipment for priority vehicles, but the equipment in ambulances is variable and depends on the requirements of the installation. There are basic installations consisting of a light bridge and a control button or control unit and high-end installations in which, in addition to the visual and acoustic equipment, a control system for the rear doors of the vehicle, a control system for a device with firearms (firearms safe) , Lighting, passenger compartment ventilation for detainees or seat belt controls for detainees.
    The device (1) of the present invention comprises:a control unit (2) comprising a microcontroller, the control unit being configured to monitor and record the status variables of the equipment elements of a priority vehicle over time, the control unit (2) being provided with a real time clock (RTC) (3) and a memory (4 ), whereinthe real-time clock (3) is connected to a network containing the various equipment elements of the vehicle (bar (5), siren (7), LED display (8), auxiliary lights (9), video recorder, control system for the rear doors, control system for the Seat belts, control system for locking the firearm lockers, etc.) connects and records the exact time at which a change in the elements is generated, andthe memory (4) stores the status variables of the individual elements together with the time at which the changes are generated.
    The recorded status variables include the following: status of the priority lights (including the type of light on), status of the siren (including the intensity of the sound, the type of sound), status of the outputs of the control unit of the prisoner set (including firearms Lockers open / closed, seat belts open / closed, rear doors open / closed, information panel activated / deactivated, etc.).
    Likewise, the status of the handbrake, the displays, the driver's door or the speed of the vehicle can be monitored. In general, the device (1) of the invention can receive information from each element monitored by the control unit (2).
    The device (1) is preferably arranged in the light strip (5), since the installation is simpler and no additional devices or cables must be added to the existing installation, so that in the event of an accident removing the device (1) is much easier than if it were inside the vehicle (bent iron), but can also be placed in any other part of the vehicle.
    The memory (4) is an EEPROM memory. The control unit (2) controls the memory (4) such that when the partition of the memory (4) assigned to the device is full, the oldest record is automatically deleted.
    As already described, the integration of the real-time clock (3) in the equipment of a priority vehicle allows the execution of actually preventive maintenance measures on the equipment. Thanks to a counter included in the real-time clock (3), the operating hours of the various equipment elements are counted. This data is stored in the EEPROM memory (4) and can be interrogated in the device with a communication bus (CAN).
    In addition, the control unit (2) is configured to generate an alarm when an item reaches a preset operating hours limit (a period considered favorable for the verification of that item). Once this limit is reached, the user is warned by a notification signal during the first few seconds after the unit is turned on, so that the notification appears until the item is repaired. The moment the item is repaired or replaced, the notification disappears. This is to prevent the equipment elements from being damaged.
    After the execution of the maintenance and repair of the elements concerned, the customer service sets the counter to zero.
    The user has no access to the operating hours of the elements and the limit of the preset hours, but the information can be obtained from the customer service.
    In Fig. 1, the connection between the control unit (6) (buttons with CAN interface) of a priority vehicle and the various elements are shown, in this case from the light bar (siren (7), LED display (8 ), Additional lights (9) ...) of the priority vehicle. Although not visible in this figure, both the control unit (6) and the device (1) are connected to the remaining elements of the vehicle so that they can send commands to them and monitor them. As can also be seen, the device (1) is integrated in the light strip (5).
    The present invention is not to be considered as limited to the embodiment described herein. In view of the present description, other configurations may also be implemented by those skilled in the art. Thus, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
