The main purpose of this thesis is to describe the development of the system of auxiliary warning lights for emergency vehicles. It will serve primarily to improve the visibility of intervention runs throughout the day because the strong white light is more visible than the blue one, especially on sunny days. Since the products available on the market were too expensive, it was decided to develop the system on our own instead of purchasing it.
In the thesis we first check some comparable products from the market. We define the requirements of our product and design the circuit. When planning, we relied on the requirements of the Slovenian Firefighters Association, with which warning lights must comply. The system is composed of the control unit and three LED modules, namely, two small modules each containing four LED lamps and one large module containing 16 LED lamps. The electrical scheme and the printed circuit boards have been drawn in the Altium Designer software and the program in the Arduino programming tool.
The circuit units are presented, and their functionality and program part described. At the end the basic testing of the system is explained.
