The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, including a camera, a touch screen configured to output an image received from the camera, a wireless communication unit configured to receive vehicle information related to the vehicle from a server or the vehicle, and a controller configured to control the touch screen to output guide information on the image to guide a moving direction such that a predetermined portion of the vehicle is captured based on the vehicle information.

A system is provided for use in an industrial loading dock wherein the location of an industrial vehicle is detected and tracked in real-time, and one or more safety zones are created such that a computer or microcontroller triggers a response in the industrial vehicle upon the vehicle's entry into each such zone. The system includes a plurality of anchor radio transceivers positioned in proximity to a workspace. Each anchor radio transceiver is positioned in a known location such that the plurality of anchor radio transceivers form a fixed array of anchor radio transceivers. At least one mobile radio transceiver associated with a mobile industrial vehicle is also provided. The mobile radio transceiver is configured to exchange data packets of information with one or more of the plurality of anchor radio transceivers. A computer is provided that is in communication with the fixed array of radio transceivers. The computer is capable of determining the coordinate location of the mobile radio transceiver based on the received data packets of information. The computer is further capable of defining one or more safety zones at any location within the workspace such that a programmed action is taken when the mobile radio transceiver enters one of the one or more safety zones.

A smart safe console system is provided herein. The smart safe console system includes a smart safe console assembly for mounting in a vehicle, having a safe body suitable for securing an electronic device, a button configured for controlling input and output to and from the electronic device when a vehicle hosting the smart safe console system is in use, and a wireless charging apparatus. Such smart safe console system is useful for improving the safety of a user when traveling in a vehicle with an electronic device.

A vehicle immobilization system includes a detection element operable to detect a level of an intoxicant in a user's breath. A control module is operable to receive a signal from the detection element indicating the level of intoxicant in the user's breath, and to selectively restrict operation of a vehicle based on the level of intoxicant in the user's breath exceeding a threshold. A wireless relay is operable to replace a standard relay in the vehicle, and to wirelessly communicate with the control module such that the control module is operable to control the wireless relay to selectively restrict operation of the vehicle.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for the utilization of vehicle control systems to cause a vehicle to take preventative action responsive to the detection of a near short term adverse driving scenario. A vehicle control system may receive information corresponding to vehicle operation data and ancillary data. Based on the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data, a multi-dimension risk score module may calculate risk scores associated with the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data. Subsequently, the vehicle control systems may cause the vehicle to perform at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert to lessen the risk associated with the received vehicle operation data and the received ancillary data.

A vehicle control device includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: stop a smart key function of a vehicle when a first state in which an intensity of a radio wave received from a predetermined wireless communication device is a threshold or more has continued for a predetermined time.
