A system and method of detecting an anti-circumvention attempt associated with an ignition interlock device of a vehicle. The method comprises detecting an electrical parameter associated with an electrical power state of the vehicle electrical system that includes the ignition interlock device having at least a relay device and a controller device electrically interconnected within the vehicle electrical system; comparing, responsive to the detecting, the electrical parameter to a threshold condition; inferring an IID circumvention event in accordance with the electrical parameter being one of above and below the threshold condition, and reporting, responsive to the inferring, the IID circumvention event to a central monitoring server computing system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to helmet safety compliance systems for use in personal transportation ride-share systems. A rider safety compliance system, may include a personal transport upon which a user can be transported, a physical lock mechanism securely mounted on the personal transport and mechanically adapted to lock and secure a helmet, and a processor adapted to release the helmet from the physical lock mechanism as a pre-determined action for allowing the user to activate the personal transport.

A control unit (40A) includes an operation state determination unit (43) that determines an operating state of a driving source (21) and a communication state determination unit (46) that determines a communication state between an authentication unit (2) and a remote key (4), and the control unit (40A) disables a starting of the driving source (21) by a driving source starting unit (21a) when the control unit (40A) is in an ON state, the operation state determination unit (43) determines that the driving source (21) is in a non-operating state, and the communication state determination unit (46) determines that communication with the remote key (4) is lost.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to helmet safety compliance systems for use in personal transportation ride-share systems. A rider safety compliance system, may include a personal transport upon which a user can be transported, a physical lock mechanism securely mounted on the personal transport and mechanically adapted to lock and secure a helmet, and a processor adapted to release the helmet from the physical lock mechanism as a pre-determined action for allowing the user to activate the personal transport.

A method of monitoring for circumvention of an ignition interlock system is described herein including detecting an electrical parameter associated with an electrical power state of a vehicle electrical system in a vehicle comprising an ignition interlock device that includes at least a relay device and a controller device electrically interconnected within the vehicle electrical system, measuring a rate of degradation associated with the electrical parameter of the vehicle electrical system, and comparing the electrical parameter to a threshold condition. The method further includes comparing the rate of degradation of the electrical parameter to a threshold rate. Depending on the rate of degradation, a violation state may be generated, a violation state may be reversed, a violation state may be maintained, a log entry may be generated, or more than one of these may occur.

A vehicle with a device for passive authorization control is provided. The device features ultra-wideband antenna devices, by means of which the device with an electronic key for checking authorization for access is able to communicate activation of a function or the starting of the vehicle. At least one of the antenna devices features at least one reflector that is arranged at a distance from one ultra-wideband antenna of the antenna device.

A server comprises circuitry configured to distribute key information to a first portable terminal. The key information includes information indicating whether locking and unlocking of a vehicle, making the vehicle travel, and using a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin are permitted. The key information further includes restricted function information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted. The key information further includes deliverable information making the key information deliverable to another terminal. The deliverable information is excluded from the key information when the key information is sent from the first portable terminal to a second portable terminal.

A key information sharing system includes a first user terminal carried by a first user of a vehicle, a second user terminal carried by a second user of the vehicle, and a server device configured to distribute key information to the first user terminal. The key information is used for a key system that determines whether to lock and unlock the vehicle, make the vehicle travel, and use a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle. The server device is configured to distribute the key information to which restricted function information is added, to the first user terminal. The restricted function information is information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted. The server device is configured to distribute the to the first user terminal.

A wireless communication system includes: an in-vehicle unit mounted on a vehicle and capable of wirelessly transmitting an access signal when an operation unit is operated; a portable device capable of wirelessly transmitting a vehicle-specific authentication code on a condition that the access signal is received; and a determination unit capable of determining whether or not the authentication code is a regular authentication code on a condition that the authentication code is received. Start of a driving source of the vehicle is permitted or running of the vehicle is enabled when the determination unit determines that the authentication code is the regular authentication code, and a security mode in which a function of transmitting the access signal by the in-vehicle unit or a function of transmitting the authentication code by the portable device is stopped can be set by a predetermined setting operation.

A distribution device includes a server device configured to distribute key information to a portable terminal. The key information is used for a key system that determines whether or not to lock and unlock a vehicle, to make the vehicle travel, and to use a content providing device that provides digital contents in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle by transmitting the key information from the portable terminal to the vehicle. The server device is configured to distribute the key information to which restricted function information is added, to the portable terminal. The restricted function information is information indicating that locking and unlocking of the vehicle and use of the content providing device are permitted but traveling of the vehicle is not permitted.
