Emergency Vehicle Alerts That Protect Roadside Workers, Responders & Motorists

Connected safety. Real-time alerts. Safer roads.

Every second matters when emergency vehicles, roadworks crews and roadside operators are working beside live traffic. Traditional warning lights help motorists identify hazards, but drivers often see those warnings only when they are already close to the scene.

HAAS Alert Safety Cloud adds an intelligent digital layer to existing warning systems by sending real-time in-vehicle safety alerts before drivers reach an emergency scene, roadside hazard or active work zone.

As a connected vehicle safety platform, Safety Cloud combines V2X digital alerting technology, GPS positioning and compatible navigation platforms to improve driver awareness around emergency vehicles, roadworks operations, traffic management crews, tow trucks, councils, utility fleets and roadside maintenance vehicles across Australia and New Zealand.

Rather than replacing warning lights, Safety Cloud works alongside existing beacons, lightbars, arrow boards and other vehicle warning systems, giving approaching motorists additional time to slow down, move over and safely navigate roadside operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HAAS Alert Safety Cloud digital alerting?

HAAS Alert Safety Cloud® is a connected vehicle and V2X digital alerting platform that sends real-time, location-based warnings to approaching drivers. It can alert motorists to emergency vehicles, tow trucks, roadside crews, roadworks, lane closures and other roadway hazards through supported navigation apps and compatible in-vehicle systems.

Is HAAS Alert Safety Cloud available in Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. HAAS Alert has appointed Australian Warning Systems as its Authorised Distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Australian Warning Systems supports local customer engagement, deployment coordination, installation pathways and frontline support, while HAAS Alert provides platform, product and technical support.

How does HAAS Alert Safety Cloud work?

When an equipped emergency vehicle, roadside vehicle or connected asset activates its approved warning system, Safety Cloud transmits its location and alert status to the platform. Nearby and approaching motorists can then receive a digital warning through supported navigation applications or compatible connected vehicle systems before reaching the vehicle, crew or hazard.

How do drivers receive HAAS Alert emergency vehicle and road-hazard warnings?

Drivers receive HAAS Alert Safety Cloud® warnings through supported navigation apps and compatible connected-vehicle systems they may already use. When an equipped emergency vehicle, roadside fleet vehicle, work zone or connected road asset is actively alerting, Safety Cloud can deliver a location-based digital warning to approaching motorists before they reach the vehicle, incident or hazard. Drivers do not need to download a separate HAAS Alert app. Alerts may be displayed through supported platforms such as Waze, Apple Maps where available, and selected compatible in-vehicle infotainment systems. Availability may vary across Australia and New Zealand depending on the navigation platform, app version, vehicle make and model, regional integration and network connectivity.

Can an organisation customise its HAAS Alert message in Waze?

Yes. HAAS Alert customers can request a customised Waze hazard message of up to 40 characters. The customised text is displayed when a Waze user taps the hazard icon; it is not spoken aloud and does not automatically appear in the initial hazard notification. Custom messages are currently a Waze-specific feature and are not available through other navigation apps or compatible in-vehicle systems. Message content is also subject to HAAS Alert and Waze formatting requirements.

How much advance warning does HAAS Alert Safety Cloud provide?

HAAS Alert Safety Cloud® can deliver emergency vehicle, roadside hazard and work-zone digital alerts to approaching motorists up to 30 seconds in advance. This earlier warning gives drivers additional time to slow down, move over, change lanes or safely avoid the hazard before reaching an equipped emergency vehicle, roadside crew, work zone or connected road asset. Actual alert timing may depend on the driver’s speed, direction of travel, road conditions, network connectivity and the supported navigation app or in-vehicle system receiving the alert.

What vehicles and fleets can use HAAS Alert Safety Cloud in Australia and New Zealand?

HAAS Alert Safety Cloud® can support a wide range of first responders, emergency services, government fleets and roadside workers across Australia and New Zealand. This includes police and highway patrol vehicles, fire and rescue, metropolitan and rural fire brigades, ambulances, paramedics and emergency medical services, State Emergency Service, incident-response units and other authorised emergency-response fleets. Safety Cloud can also be used by tow trucks, roadside-assistance vehicles, traffic-management fleets, road-maintenance crews, transport agencies, local councils, utility vehicles, construction and civil fleets, waste-management vehicles, school buses and other vehicles operating on or beside public roads. Compatible connected assets may include arrow boards, variable message signs, lane-closure equipment, work-zone trailers and other roadside safety equipment. Suitability depends on the vehicle, asset, warning-light activation method, telematics system and intended deployment.

What is the HAAS Alert HA-7 digital alerting transponder?

The HA-7 is a dedicated GPS and cellular-enabled digital alerting transponder installed in a vehicle or suitable roadside asset. It can connect to the vehicle’s warning-light or activation circuit and automatically transmit location and alert information to Safety Cloud without requiring the operator to manually use a separate app.

What is the difference between the HA-7 transponder and HA-Direct?

The HA-7 is standalone hardware installed in the vehicle and connected to an approved warning-light or activation input. HA-Direct activates Safety Cloud through compatible fleet GPS, router or telematics equipment already installed in the vehicle, which may remove the need to install a separate HA-7 transponder.

Can HAAS Alert integrate with an existing fleet GPS or telematics system?

Yes. Safety Cloud can integrate with compatible telematics and fleet-management platforms, including systems from providers such as Ericsson Cradlepoint, Samsara, Geotab, Motive, Semtech, Webfleet and others. Compatibility depends on the installed hardware, location services, warning-light input and the particular platform configuration.

Does HAAS Alert activate automatically with the vehicle’s warning lights?

Yes, when correctly installed and configured. The HA-7 can be wired to the vehicle’s main emergency or warning-light activation circuit so digital alerting begins automatically under the applicable operating rules, reducing the need for additional action by the driver or operator.

What is the difference between moving and stationary Safety Cloud alerts?

Safety Cloud can generate different types of digital alerts depending on whether an equipped vehicle is moving or stopped. - Moving alerts are designed for eligible emergency and public-safety vehicles travelling to an incident with their emergency warning lights activated. These alerts can warn approaching motorists that an emergency vehicle is en route, helping drivers prepare to slow down, move over or safely clear the way. - Stationary alerts are generated when an equipped vehicle has stopped with its emergency or warning lights activated and has remained stationary for at least 30 seconds. These alerts warn approaching motorists about an emergency scene, roadside operation, tow truck, work zone, traffic-management vehicle or other connected hazard ahead. This allows Safety Cloud to provide digital warning both while eligible emergency vehicles are responding and while vehicles or crews are operating at a stationary roadside scene.

Can Safety Cloud prevent unnecessary alerts at emergency service stations, depots, workshops or fleet yards?

Yes. Safety Cloud® supports Exclusion Zones, which are defined geographic areas used to prevent stationary digital alerts from being generated at locations such as emergency-service stations, fleet depots, workshops, equipment yards or vehicle-testing areas. This helps prevent unnecessary public alerts when warning lights are being tested, serviced or used within a fleet facility. Exclusion Zones suppress stationary alerts within the designated area; however, moving emergency-vehicle alerts can continue to operate when an equipped vehicle is travelling through the zone.

Can Safety Cloud be installed on older vehicles, new vehicles and electric vehicles?

Yes. HAAS Alert states that Safety Cloud can be equipped on older vehicles, newly manufactured vehicles and electric vehicles where there is a suitable warning-light circuit or constant activation trigger. Hardware-supported and compatible hardware-free integration options are available.

How is the HA-7 transponder installed, and how long does installation take?

A typical HA-7 installation requires constant 12-volt power, ground, an approved warning-light or activation input and suitable GPS and cellular reception. HAAS Alert states that installation can take approximately 30 minutes in a suitable vehicle, although actual time will depend on vehicle wiring, multiplex systems, access, antenna requirements and the organisation’s installation standards.

Does the HA-7 require a separate SIM card or mobile data plan?

The HAAS Alert HA-7 digital alerting transponder includes built-in cellular connectivity and GPS, so organisations do not need to purchase a separate SIM card, arrange an additional mobile data plan or manage another telecommunications account for each vehicle. This removes an extra ongoing cost and simplifies deployment across emergency service, government and commercial fleets in Australia and New Zealand. HA-7 digital alerting transponder connectivity is provided through roaming arrangements involving AT&T and Optus for Australia, Spark and One in New Zealand. An active Safety Cloud® subscription and device activation are required to access digital alerting and connected platform services.

What happens if the HA-7 has limited GPS or cellular reception?

The HA-7 requires GPS and cellular connectivity to accurately determine the vehicle’s location and communicate alerting information with Safety Cloud®. For reliable performance, HAAS Alert recommends installing the transponder where it has a clear view of the open sky. Where the HA-7 must be installed deep within the dashboard, behind metallic window tint or in another location where reception may be obstructed, a HAAS Alert-approved external GPS and cellular antenna can be fitted to improve antenna placement and help maintain consistent connectivity. The external antenna is not a mobile signal booster; it relocates the GPS and cellular reception point to a more suitable position on the vehicle.

Does the HA-7 support an external GPS and cellular antenna?

Yes. The HAAS Alert HA-7 supports an optional external puck antenna for installations where GPS or cellular reception may be obstructed, such as when the transponder is mounted deep within the dashboard or behind metallic window tint. The puck antenna provides both GPS and cellular connectivity and is rated IP67 and IP69, making it suitable for appropriately installed external vehicle mounting in demanding Australian and New Zealand conditions. It is not a cellular signal booster; it simply relocates the GPS and cellular reception point to a more suitable position to help maintain reliable Safety Cloud connectivity.

Does Safety Cloud replace emergency lights, sirens or traffic-control equipment?

No. Safety Cloud should be used as an additional digital warning layer alongside existing warning lights, sirens, signage, arrow boards, traffic-control devices, safe-work procedures and other required safety measures. It extends warning visibility beyond the immediate visual or audible range of conventional equipment but does not replace equipment required by applicable Australian or New Zealand laws, standards or operating procedures.

Is HAAS Alert HA-7 hardware RCM certified for Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. HAAS Alert states that its hardware is RCM certified for Australia and New Zealand, as well as carrying FCC and CE certifications for other international markets. Relevant certification documents can be requested where required for tenders, government procurement or fleet approval.

What information is available through the Safety Cloud Dashboard, and how is data protected?

Authorised users can access live asset locations, alerting status, incident history, trip reviews, response information and report exports through the browser-based Safety Cloud Dashboard. HAAS Alert states that it collects information required for digital alerting, such as location, heading and basic vehicle telemetry, does not collect unrelated personal driver data, and encrypts information in transit and at rest.

Can HAAS Alert Safety Cloud be used for live fleet and vehicle tracking?

Yes. Authorized fleet managers and operational users can use the Safety Cloud® Dashboard to view the real-time location and alerting status of equipped vehicles and connected assets. The dashboard also provides access to incident history, trip history, response times, time on scene, trip reviews and report exports, helping emergency services, government agencies, councils, towing operators, utilities and roadside fleets improve situational awareness and operational oversight.

What is HAAS Alert Responder-to-Responder alerting?

Responder-to-Responder, or R2R®, is an optional Safety Cloud service designed to visually warn emergency-vehicle crews when another R2R-enabled emergency vehicle is approaching a potential collision point. Participating vehicles must be registered and enabled for R2R, connected to the warning-light activation circuit and moving for an R2R warning to be sent or received.

Can Safety Cloud connect with traffic signals, VMS signs and smart-road infrastructure?

Yes. Safety Cloud can support integration with connected infrastructure such as variable or dynamic message signs, traffic signals, streetlights, connected intersections and other intelligent transport systems. Each integration requires technical assessment and configuration based on the existing infrastructure, communications platform and intended road-safety application.

How much does HAAS Alert Safety Cloud cost in Australia and New Zealand?

HAAS Alert pricing depends on the number of vehicles or assets, industry, activation method, hardware requirements, integrations and Safety Cloud service configuration. Contact Australian Warning Systems, the appointed Authorised Distributor for Australia and New Zealand, for local pricing, fleet assessment, installation options and a tailored deployment proposal.

Is a HAAS Alert Safety Cloud subscription required?

Yes. Safety Cloud is an ongoing digital alerting service, and an active subscription is required for connected alerts, dashboard access, reporting and associated Safety Cloud features. The HA-7 transponder is the vehicle hardware used to connect an eligible vehicle or asset to the platform; purchasing the hardware alone does not provide ongoing Safety Cloud alerting. Subscription pricing depends on fleet size, vehicle or asset type, activation method and selected services.

Does Safety Cloud track vehicles when the warning lights are switched off?

Safety Cloud only broadcasts public digital alerts from equipped vehicles when the connected emergency lights, warning lights or beacons are activated. When the warning system is switched off, public digital alerting stops. Connected non-vehicle assets only broadcast alerts when the asset is activated and connected to Safety Cloud. Authorised fleet users may still have access to operational information through their Safety Cloud account, depending on the system configuration and applicable account permissions. Public motorists do not continuously see the location of the fleet vehicle.

How can I confirm that HAAS Alert Safety Cloud is working?

Authorised users can verify HAAS Alert Safety Cloud® operation through the browser-based Safety Cloud Dashboard. When an equipped vehicle’s connected warning lights activate Safety Cloud, the dashboard displays the vehicle’s current alerting status and identifies when a digital alert is active. As part of installation and commissioning, the HA-7’s power supply, warning-light trigger, GPS location and cellular connection should also be checked to confirm that the vehicle or asset is communicating correctly with Safety Cloud.

Who supplies and supports HAAS Alert in Australia and New Zealand?
