Milestones 1981 - 1990

PRIORITY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

19.08.1981

We are developing a system for influencing traffic signalling systems to enable emergency vehicles to pass through road traffic more quickly. The system is integrated into traffic lights and changes their switching in favour of emergency vehicles in the event of an emergency. This makes them faster than with light and sound signalling devices, such as sirens. The system is undergoing long-term testing with great success in co-operation with the Technical University of Karlsruhe in Winnenden and the Technical University of Berlin in West Berlin.

ORGAN TRANSPORT

The donor and recipient of an organ are often far apart. In order to bridge the distance as safely and effectively as possible, we are developing a vehicle with a separate, fluctuation-free cooling unit - the organ transport trolley.

AIR RESCUE LUXEMBOURG

We provide the impetus for civil air rescue not only in Germany. Together with the DRF, we found Luxembourg Air Rescue (LAR), which quickly develops into the organisation with the largest number of members in Luxembourg.

Hereditary Grand Duke Henri takes over the patronage of the LAR.

BLACK ICE WARNING SYSTEM

05.08.1988

Black ice and freezing rain can quickly become life-threatening for drivers. A timely warning can save many lives. That is why we are developing a special black ice system that essentially consists of two components: firstly, sensors that measure the temperature and moisture on site, and secondly, the actual warning system. If there is a risk of black ice, a stylised ice crystal flashes on a traffic board and warns drivers in a highly visible way.
