Vauxhall demonstrate Single Vehicle Architecture (SVA)
Vauxhall’s Special Vehicles Operation team has been hard at work developing Single Vehicle Architecture (SVA)with the Association of Chief Police Officers Intelligent Transportations Systems Working Group (ACPO ITS). Vauxhall’s Special Vehicles Operation team has been studying the future of equipment installation in police vehicles on behalf of ACPO with a number of partners. This year, it has delivered the first fully SVA equipped police vehicle.
This month a police specification Vauxhall Insignia became the first vehicle to showcase the (SVA) at the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) exhibition. The production of the demonstration Vauxhall Insignia represents a major leap forward in the simplification of fitting out police vehicles for UK forces.
The resulting SVA provides a standard specification to which all manufacturers and suppliers abide to, allowing everyone to produce common wiring for equipment and connection points in emergency vehicles, enabling plug and play of electronics which will reduce the time required to equip and decommission police vehicles at a Vauxhall dealer in Aberdeen.
Dick Ellam, Manager Vehicle Conversions for Vauxhall said, “For police vehicles, Single Vehicle Architecture will be hugely significant. The UK has some of the most advanced police vehicles in the world; with features such as automatic number plate recognition and detailed data recording instruments. This has meant that installing these systems in cars was extremely difficult, and each car has until now needed to be installed in a different way depending on the needs of each individual police force. Single Vehicle Architecture will eliminate this complexity.”
