Example vehicle restraint systems and related methods are disclosed. An example vehicle restraint system includes a wheel chock having an inclined tire-engaging surface, where the wheel chock is movable to an installed position at which the wheel chock is to engage the freight transporter. The vehicle restraint system includes a take-up reel and a retractable elongate member to be at least partially wrapped around the take-up reel. The retractable elongate member to extend between the wheel chock and a platform structure.

A wheel immobilization device for preventing unintended movement of a wheel of a mobile object of a type having a wheel includes a rope body that includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end and that has an elongate, pliable, and flexible configuration, the rope body having a plurality of strands twisted together between the first and second ends. The immobilization includes a tail portion situated at the first end of the rope body, the tail portion having a linear configuration and a leader end. The immobilization device includes a retaining portion opposite the tail portion and situated at a second end of the rope body, the retaining portion including a loop that defines a head opening configured and operable to receive the tail portion therethrough.

The invention relates to a wheel chock for blocking a stationary wheel having a bottom surface (1) for resting on a floor and a wheel surface (2) for engagement with the wheel. The wheel surface (2) is provided for blocking the wheel angled to the bottom surface (1). The bottom surface (1) and wheel surface (2) are connected to each other via a hinge and designed to be foldable. A locking device is arranged movably on the bottom surface (1) and/or the wheel surface (2) and, in a locking position, locks the bottom surface (1) and wheel surface (2) in an unfolded, angled state.

The present invention relates to reducing the bulk human fatalities and damage of vehicles during accidents. Usually, the motor vehicles during the collision all inertia forces and kinetic energy are absorbed by vehicles transmitted to road through all tyres. In this proposal, some part of the kinetic energy is utilized to change the shape and size of the newly designed components that is incorporated inside the vehicle and remaining kinetic energy is transmitted to road. Using Newton's third law, damage of vehicle can be greatly reduced by utilizing the elastic tension force and compressive force of the vehicle. It has to be attached in each vehicle and both side on road with same altitude from the ground clearance, during the accident another component external braking system activated by pneumatic controlling system without rotating the wheels and contact & non-contact sensor control suddenly stops the engine of the vehicle, steering mechanism can be controlled even at abnormal driving of driver. This device is designed to reduce the damage during the accidents by altering the cross sectional area of shapes like round/oval/polygon/irregular and size (length, area) of the vehicle.

A folding wheel chock has a stop ramp having a front face shaped to interface with a vehicle wheel, extending from a first support base to a first vertex, and a support wall extending from a second support base to a second vertex. The stop ramp and the support wall are hinged by a pivot pin at the respective first and second vertexes to rotate between an in-use or working configuration and a non-use or resting configuration. The folding wheel chock has a tip acting as a portion of the first interface with the vehicle wheel, the tip associated with the stop ramp and movable from an extracted or working configuration, in which it protrudes towards an associable wheel as an extension of the stop ramp, to a retracted or resting configuration in which it is arranged at least partially folded or aligned on the stop ramp and/or support wall.
