Challenge
For instance, a car is being stolen every 35 min in Germany, every 10 min in Australia and every 6.5 min in the US. As statistics show it all over the world, most of the time robbers are well organized and can steal a targeted vehicle such as automobile, truck, bus, motorcycle, scooter, or snowmobile in a matter of a few seconds.
Another big issue is stolen rental cars. It has been 92,000 stolen rental cars only in the United States alone between 2015 and 2018. Unfortunately, police forces fail to recover over half of the stolen vehicles. For criminals, it is a relatively low-risk way of making a providence.
Inconsistent and purposely unfit driver behaviour, unauthorised use of rental cars causes faster engine, tires and components wear, extra fuel consumption, traffic accidents, road infrastructure damage and may result in a substantial amount of expenses for business over time.
Solution
When the speed of stolen vehicle exceeds the pre specified threshold speed, the Speed Pulse Scenario will be activated forcing the driver to slow down. After that, when the stolen vehicle speed inevitably goes lower than the preconfigured entrance speed, GPS tracker will disable speed pulsing and will activate permanently. So, the vehicle will be gradually and safely slow down and stopped by controlling a fuel pump of the car.
In suspension, remote impair allows car owner, dispatcher or other authorized personnel safely to slow down a stolen vehicle by gradually limiting a fuel supply to the engine from a remote location. Thus, it will be necessarily brought to a safe and controlled stop what allows to avoid traffic incidence, road architecture damage or casualties.
The stolen but now stalled vehicle location can be quickly tracked by Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) software application in a smartphone, tablet or PC and recovered at once. As a result, automobile loss (and the goods) has been profitably prevented.
Vehicle impair system can be consolidated with other onboard wireless communications systems that include assets such as door sensors, cargo sensors, temperature sensors, electronic cargo seals, and trailer connection and disconnection systems. For example, if the vehicle onboard computer system installed by car maker or aftermarket supplier detects a loss of signal from the communication network or interfere of electronic cargo seals, a pre-established vehicle disabling protocol can be initiated.
