Control system of marine vessel and portable device for marine vessel
A control system of a marine vessel includes a portable device and a receiving device. The portable device transmits a switch control signal to the receiving device based on an input operation. The control system of the marine vessel performs an authentication control process based on an authentication signal from the portable device, and controls opening or closing of a current path based on the switch control signal from the portable device.

CONTROL APPARATUS, SYSTEM, VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
A control apparatus includes a controller configured to, upon detecting parking of a vehicle at a spot where parking is prohibited, generate control data for controlling the vehicle to prevent a state of the vehicle from transitioning to a state in which a power source of the vehicle is stopped and an occupant of the vehicle is out of the vehicle, and output the generated control data.

Networked intoxication vehicle immobilization
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.

Systems and methods for immobilizing a vehicle
A device may receive an arming signal associated with immobilizing a vehicle. The device may monitor, based on receiving the arming signal, a current associated with an electrical power output from a battery of the vehicle. The device may detect that a measurement of the current satisfies a threshold associated with an ignition component starting an engine of the vehicle. The device may control, based on detecting that the current satisfies the threshold, a bypass circuit to reduce the electrical power output to prevent the ignition component from starting the engine.

Wire management module for a vehicle
A wire-management module is configured to be installable to a vehicle having an operable system configured to be energized in response to operative connection between a first wire and a second wire. A user-authentication module is configured to transmit a wire-management signal including a wire-inhibit signal configured to indicate lack of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle. The wire-management module is configured to be operatively coupled to the first wire and the second wire. The wire-management module has a signal input port configured to receive the wire-inhibit signal that is transmittable from the user-authentication module. The wire-management module is also configured to inhibit operative connection between the first wire and the second wire.
