A sensing device can include at least one sensor, positioning circuitry, a transceiver, and a computing device in communication with the at least one sensor, the positioning circuitry, and the transceiver. The computing device can determine a location of a vehicle via the positioning circuitry. The computing device can determine that a point of interest (POI) associated with a predefined category of POIs corresponds to the location. The computing device, via the transceiver, can determine that a person is moving away from the vehicle based on a measurement associated with a remote device. The computing device can enter into an armed mode in response to the determinations. The computing device can detect an intrusion into a vehicle while in the armed mode based at least in part on measurements from the at least one sensor. The computing device can generate an alarm in response to the intrusion.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle theft prevention device. The device can include a data store including event configuration data. The device can include one or more sensors that can sense various types of measurements proximate to a vehicle. The device can include a computing device in communication with the sensors. The computing device can read measurements from the sensors and determine that a particular event has occurred. The computing device can analyze the measurements to determine the particular event occurred based on the event configuration data. When the particular event occurs, the computing device can perform one or more remedial actions.

A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle in an autonomous driving mode includes an actuator where an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator. The actuator is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle. Access to the actuator is controllable by an overriding safety device.

A vehicle-mounted device includes vehicle information detecting unit for detecting an on/off state of vehicle power, relay input/output unit for controlling an external relay configured to make a switch between a starting-disabled state and a starting-enabled state of a vehicle, and vehicle information-associated control unit for controlling the external relay based on a relay control command. The vehicle information-associated control unit controls the external relay based on an elapsed time since a change in the on/off state of vehicle power detected by the vehicle information detecting unit.

A vehicle theft-prevention apparatus can include a slip clutch mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a cylindrical body including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be configured to rotate about the second portion. The locking mechanism can be configured to engage based on rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a first direction, and disengage based on a rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a second direction. The slip clutch mechanism can be configured to prevent the locking mechanism from further engaging from rotation in the first direction relative to the second portion based on a magnitude of force applied.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle control system capable of safely and forcibly controlling a vehicle. A vehicle control system VCS includes a mode setting unit 56 configured to output a forced mode signal upon receiving a forced control instruction from the outside of a vehicle V via a communication device 30, and a forced operation unit 58 configured to output a forced operation signal of forcibly operating the vehicle V to an operation control unit 20. Further, the vehicle control system VCS includes a signal selection unit 59 configured to allow all the operation signals to pass therethrough before receiving the forced mode signal, and block at least a part of the operation signals and allow the forced operation signal instead of the blocked operation signal to pass therethrough after receiving the forced mode signal. The vehicle control system VCS controls an operation of the vehicle V by controlling the operation control unit 20 based on the operation signal or the forced operation signal passing through the signal selection unit 59.

A vehicle theft-prevention system can include a mobile application that can determine a location of the mobile device. One or more computing devices can be in communication with the mobile application via a network. The mobile application and the at least one computing device configured to determine that the location of the mobile device has moved outside of a geofence associated with a vehicle theft-prevention apparatus. The mobile application and the at least one computing device can cause the vehicle theft-prevention apparatus to change from an unarmed mode to an armed mode.

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining, and displaying, the regulatory compliance status of a motorized vehicle, a driver of a motorized vehicle, or a non-vehicle machine. An authorized agent, such as a law enforcement officer, can perform a remotely-initiated safe stop of a motorized vehicle to prevent a high-speed chase. A system management center can receive, store, and transmit regulatory compliance records indicating the regulatory compliance status of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines. A motorized vehicle can detect, and report, a driver “tail-gating” the motorized vehicle. The regulatory compliance history of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines can be queried by authorized users.

An automobile remote control power failure anti-theft device is provided, which relates to the technical field of automobiles and comprises: a control switch mounted on an automobile and configured to control on/off between an automobile circuit and an automobile power source; a remote switch connected to the automobile power source and the control switch for receiving an external control signal and controlling the on/off of the control switch according to the received signal; and an external controller disposed outside the automobile and wirelessly connected to the remote switch for facilitating carrying and controlling the remote switch to user. The above technical solution can not only remotely control on/off between the automobile circuit and the automobile power source, but also prevent the automobile from being stolen, and has the advantages of convenient on/off control of the automobile circuit, good control effect and good anti-theft effect.

The vehicle (1) provides its identity to the portable electronic device (5) of a user not driving the vehicle, the portable electronic device displays visible features of the vehicle, the user selects the vehicle on the display to provide a signal to the wireless communication unit of the emergency stop system of the vehicle. In case of a terrorist attack, signals from a plurality of portable devices cause the vehicle to stop or slow down.
