Most of the userspace work including the planner, fire detection, resource scheduling and distributed execution is done in Common Lisp.
- agloe_dreams 3y agoFascinating. Our Volvo does this for backing up and getting warnings from sensors. It uses the individual speakers from the direction of the issue. Works great.
- varjag 3y agoYep it's really nice augmentation. In a tunnel there are challenges though which aren't an issue in a compartment. The effects have to work for any person in miles long tunnels, with reverb/echo times in multiple seconds. They have to read off even with the noise from smoke extraction fans. Plus the practicalities of synchronized distributed operation, dealing with battle damage/attrition etc.
- samstave 3y agouhm, I need to introduce you to someone, who has developed this into a patented delivery via a baseball cap (hat) bill with directional indicators via LED to give you wayfinding HUD without a screen....
- varjag 3y agoThere's been lots of such ideas floating (and patented). But no evacuation method that relies on a motorist having any device or app on them is feasible.
- samstave 3y agoNo - this is to integrate into the fire fighters helmets. Telling them routes, supply caches, other team members... and they turn their head and get wayfinding directionals based on color RGBs in hat...
