Whelen Cloud Platform®: Connect Your Fleet
A centralized cloud-based platform that connects compatible emergency vehicles, Whelen control systems, installed equipment, fleet information and digital safety services.
Bring fleet operations, vehicle technology and safety information together in one connected platform.
The Whelen Cloud Platform®, also known as WCP®, provides authorized fleet managers, supervisors and technicians with access to vehicle locations, equipment information, system configurations, maintenance data, operational alerts and connected safety capabilities.
A Centralized Platform for Connected Fleets
WCP is designed to reduce the need for agencies to manage vehicle technology through multiple disconnected systems. Compatible fleet information and management tools are brought together in one accessible cloud-based environment.
Live Fleet Mapping
View the current location and movement of connected fleet vehicles from a centralized map.
Remote Updates
Manage compatible firmware and vehicle configurations without physically connecting to every vehicle.
Safety Alerts
Support digital motorist notifications, responder alerts and agency-defined operational notifications.
Fleet Data
Review compatible vehicle, equipment, maintenance and operational information from one platform.
Geofence Automation
Create virtual geographic areas that can initiate compatible vehicle actions based on location.
Equipment Inventory
Maintain organized records of compatible WeCanX® equipment assigned to individual fleet vehicles.
Analytics and Reports
Review fleet activity, operational trends and system events to support more informed decisions.
Controlled User Access
Assign roles and permissions based on the responsibilities of managers, technicians, supervisors and administrators.
Improve awareness for motorists and responders.
Compatible emergency vehicles can use the Whelen Cloud Platform to share digital safety information with connected systems and other equipped emergency vehicles.
These capabilities supplement traditional emergency warning lights, sirens, radio communications and established agency operating procedures.
- Alert motorists about nearby emergency activity
- Provide advance warning of emergency vehicles ahead
- Support responder-to-responder intersection alerts
- Improve awareness before vehicles are physically visible
- Help reinforce slow-down and move-over behavior
Real-Time Mapping and Location-Based Automation
Vehicle location information can support fleet coordination, incident awareness and automated actions based on where a connected vehicle is operating.
Live Vehicle Locations
Authorized users can view connected fleet vehicles on a centralized live map.
- Locate fleet assets
- Review vehicle movement
- Support response coordination
- Improve operational awareness
Geofence Zones
Agencies can create virtual geographic boundaries around stations, facilities, roadways or other defined areas.
- Station and facility zones
- School or hospital areas
- Reduced-light zones
- Agency-defined operating areas
Automated Vehicle Actions
Compatible vehicle functions may be initiated when a vehicle enters or exits a defined geographic area.
- Warning-light functions
- Scene-mode changes
- Location-based system actions
- Consistent operating procedures
Custom Alerts Help Fleet Teams Respond Earlier
Authorized users can receive notifications involving compatible vehicle conditions, maintenance requirements, equipment activity, fuel status, system faults and other agency-defined operational events.
Remote Firmware and Configuration Management
Traditional fleet updates often require a technician to physically connect a computer to every vehicle. WCP can reduce this workload by remotely managing compatible equipment and stored vehicle configurations.
Over-the-Air Updates
Deploy compatible firmware updates without bringing every vehicle to a single service location.
Configuration Libraries
Store and organize approved vehicle configurations for future use and fleet standardization.
Reduced Vehicle Downtime
Remote management can reduce technician travel, scheduling conflicts and unnecessary shop visits.
Programming Consistency
Centralized management helps agencies maintain consistent operating behavior across similar fleet vehicles.
Maintenance and Vehicle Information
Depending on vehicle and system compatibility, WCP can provide operational information that helps fleet teams plan maintenance, monitor readiness and identify developing problems.
Vehicle Data
- Vehicle mileage
- Fuel-level information
- Engine-hour information
- Compatible diagnostic data
Maintenance Planning
- Service reminders
- Maintenance scheduling
- Vehicle-readiness review
- Reduced unexpected downtime
Operational Notifications
- Low-fuel alerts
- System-fault notifications
- Equipment-status changes
- Agency-defined alerts
Know what equipment is installed in each vehicle.
Emergency vehicles may contain numerous interconnected warning, control and electrical devices. WCP can maintain an organized record of compatible WeCanX equipment assigned to individual vehicles.
- Identify installed device types
- Associate equipment with individual vehicles
- Review system and firmware information
- Support troubleshooting and service work
- Plan equipment upgrades and vehicle replacements
Integration with Whelen Core® Control Systems
The platform becomes especially powerful when connected to a compatible Whelen Core control system, including CenCom Core®.
Advanced Vehicle Automation
Coordinate compatible warning, control, input and output functions through programmed system logic.
Centralized Configuration
Store and manage vehicle programming through a connected fleet-management environment.
Fleet-Wide Standardization
Improve consistency across vehicles that share similar equipment and operational requirements.
Future Expansion
Build a connected technology foundation that can support future vehicle and fleet capabilities.
Role-Based Access from Multiple Devices
The platform can provide different levels of access based on each user’s responsibilities while allowing authorized personnel to connect from common internet-enabled devices.
Fleet Managers
Access fleet-wide vehicle, maintenance, equipment, configuration and operational information.
Technicians
Review compatible equipment information, configurations, firmware status and vehicle service data.
Supervisors
View vehicle locations, alerts and operational information relevant to field and command responsibilities.
Administrators
Manage platform users, access permissions and selected organizational settings.
Desktop and Laptop
Access detailed fleet-management information from offices, shops and emergency operations centers.
Mobile Devices
Review authorized fleet information from compatible smartphones and tablets while working in the field.
Why the Whelen Cloud Platform Matters
