What is Safety Cloud?
Safety Cloud service by HAAS Alert reduces the risk of collision by delivering real-time notifications called “digital alerts,” directly to nearby and approaching motorists. Digital alerts warn drivers of emergency vehicles and crews, work zones, and other hazards, allowing them more time to slow down, move over and make safer maneuvers.
Safety Cloud is the world’s largest real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication network connecting many users and vehicles on the roadway. Safety Cloud enables and empowers use cases that are transforming road safety today.

What is a digital alert?
A digital alert is an electronic notification sent directly to drivers inside their vehicles through the world’s leading navigation apps and some car infotainment systems. The technology has been proven to reduce the risk of collision by up to 90 percent.
HAAS Alert is the global leader using this technology to send advanced notifications that protect all roadway users. When your emergency or flashing lights are activated, Safety Cloud begins notifying drivers that your crew/vehicles are nearby. Digital alerts are more effective today than traditional lights and sirens.
How does Safety Cloud work?
Safety Cloud protects emergency personnel and roadside operators en-route and on-scene by broadcasting two types of alerts to approaching drivers:
Stationary alerts
When your emergency lights are on and your vehicle has been stationary for at least 30 seconds, Safety Cloud creates an event and begins alerting nearby drivers of your presence.
Moving alerts
When an emergency vehicle is en-route to an incident with emergency lights activated, public safety fleets send out dynamic alerts to warn nearby drivers that they're approaching.
Digital alerting
Digital alerts are sent from emergency or roadside personnel vehicles straight to civilian motorists up to 30 seconds prior to the hazard.
Responder-to-Responder (R2R™) digital alerting
R2R digital alerts notify emergency responders when other Safety Cloud-equipped emergency vehicles are in active response and approaching the same intersection. R2R digital alerting is an add on feature available to public safety agencies.
