In a future with a growing world population, with worsening climate change accompanied by a whole series of novel challenges, with so-called smart homes and other new technologies in use in everyday life, certain aspects of emergency service organizations’ mission and tasks will change accordingly. Rosenbauer, the world’s leading manufacturer of systems for firefighting and disaster protection, is facing these future issues now. The company presents newly developed technologies that will shape the future of firefighting and ultimately make it easier. An example is the concept study of a self-driving fire truck of the future, Concept Fire Truck (CFT), which will be presented. The development engineers focused on how the architecture of the vehicle is determined by future requirements for fire departments.
These developments also take social structures into consideration. What errors could possibly creep into the use of this technology in an emergency situation? Can natural human intuition be replaced by artificial intelligence? How can new technologies deliver support to existing, well-functioning team structures? What this future will look like is now assuming increasingly clear contours. In cooperation with the Upper Austria Regional Fire Brigade and g.tec Corporation, Ars Electronica and Rosenbauer invite festivalgoers to experience this future right up close, right now.
The big event highlighting the presentation will be a special CHALLENGE for VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANIES in Upper Austria. POSTCITY LINZ’s bank of spiral packet chutes will serve as the setting for this “Emergency of the Future.”
