Fundamentals of Emergency Vehicle ● Driver
Operation 16.02 ● Machine
● Environment
1 Identify the three elements of the
driver's triangle.
2 Identify the most critical element of ● The driver
the driver's triangle. ● Over 80% of all accidents are caused by driver error
● Lack of knowledge, panic, inattention to driving
skills.
,3 Identify the two types of vision. Central Vision: What you see when you look straight
ahead at an object; it allows person to see things
clear/sharp.
Peripheral Vision: Ability to detect objects on either
side of the line of focused vision; a person with
normal vision can detect objects that are
approximately 90 degrees to either side of their
focused vision.
4 Define the effects on a driver's ● As speed increases, peripheral vision decreases.
peripheral vision as the speed of a ● 40 mph = 120 degrees
vehicle increases. ● 60 mph = 60 degrees
● 80 mph = 30 degrees
5 Identify the motor skills used for ● Stress may affect driver's fine motor control skills
driving which are affected by stress. ● Fine motor control skills used to steer and brake.
● Stress of an emergency maneuver, hot call, pursuit
can affect fine motor control skills too.
,6 Define how an anti-lock braking ● ABS is part of the vehicle's braking system that
system works. automatically controls braking pressure to prevent the
controlled wheel(s) from locking up during braking.
● Most anti-lock systems also enable the vehicle to
stop in a shorter distance, particularly on wet or
slippery road surfaces.
● Wheel speed sensors detect wheel lock and send
signals to brake pressure modulator telling it to
reduce brake pressure which allows the wheels to
turn.
● ABS then re-applies braking pressure to maintain
maximum
● Pressure regulating pumps the brakes in the same
manner a driver would only much faster.
● Pulsating occurs as a result of the brake fluid
pressure changes in the brake system when ABS is
activated.
● Current anti-lock systems can release and reapply
the brakes as many as 15 times per second.
● Driver should now pump the brakes because that
action may defeat the anti-lock system which could
lock the wheels and cause a skid.
Major Components:
Wheel Speed Sensors: Measure wheel speed, and
then transmit this information to the electronic control
unit (ECU).
Electronic Control Unit (ECU): Contains the computer
functions, sensor signal processing circuits, and
outputs signals to the various ABS valves and
components, and the failure detection logic.
Brake Pressure Modulator: Reduces, holds, and
restores pressure to one or more brakes, independent
of the brake pedal effort applied by the driver.
, 7 Identify the recommended defensive ● The edge of the road, lane markings, or traffic signs
driving techniques a driver should use may not be visible during a snowstorm.
when driving on snow and/or ice. ● Stopping distance on ice/snow increases
exponentially with increased speed.
● Brakes should be properly adjusted so they pull
6+evenly.
● Wet roads with ice and freezing rain are the most
treacherous of all driving conditions.
● Bridges/shaded roadways freeze first.
● Do not make any sudden moves with the steering
wheel, brakes, or accelerator.
● Slow down in advance of intersections, curves, and
downgrades, sooner than normally.
● Keep at least a four-second following distance.
● Chains on rear wheels, drive with them until the road
surface is appreciably clear of ice and snow.
● When driving through deep snow, shift into a lower
gear before entering the snow and attempt to keep
the car moving through the snow.
8 Define the minimum depth of water ● As little as 1/16th of an inch of water can cause
that may cause a vehicle to hydroplaning.
hydroplane. ● Can occur as soon as the water depth exceed the
thread depth.
9 Identify the best driving surface. Concrete: provides the best adhesion to the road by
the vehicle; can glaze over quickly in freezing
conditions; it's heavy and settles more than other
surfaces.
