The present invention discloses a ship wandering detection method based on AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. According to acquired AIS trajectory data of a ship, wandering behaviors of the ship are detected according to the massive trajectory data, the wandering behaviors of the ship are classified, and relationships between trajectories of four typical abnormal movement behaviors of the ship and defined variables are summarized. The detection for the wandering behaviors of the ship can provide decision support for maritime safety supervision, so as to enhance the safety of maritime traffic and ensure the safe navigation of the ship, which has great significance to promote the safety, efficiency and smoothness of maritime transportation.

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.

A wheel fastener alarm assembly is provided having a fastener body with a first portion defining a wrenching surface and a cavity, and a second portion with a threaded portion to attach and detach from a wheel of a vehicle. A sensor array is disposed in the cavity of fastener body to detect an attribute of the fastener body and generate an output signal based on the attribute of the fastener body. An antenna connected to the sensor array to transmit the signal to a remote location. A cap is secured to the first portion of the fastener body and covers the wrenching surface and the cavity opening to define a capped fastener body.

Methods and apparatuses for providing security notification based on biometric identifier are described, in which one or more biometric information of a person may be utilized to permit or prohibit the person to access the vehicle. As such, the person may not access (or operate) the vehicle without satisfying security measures based on his/her biometric identifier generated from various biological information collected from the person. When the person is not authorized to access the vehicle, the security measures may transmit a security notification to an owner of the vehicle (e.g., a mobile device of the owner, an account of the owner) such that the owner may take appropriate steps in response to receiving the security notification. Such a notification may include the biometric information of the person, other information collected from the sensing component, a set of options for the owner to select from, among others.

A vehicle includes a passenger cabin and a truck bed located rearward of the passenger cabin. The vehicle includes a truck bed cover that is sized to cover the truck bed and is movably attached to one or more walls of the truck bed to allow the truck bed cover to be moved between open and closed positions. The truck bed cover includes a latching device that engages a striker in the closed position. A sensing device is mounted in the truck bed that is configured to provide an indication of an open condition of the truck bed cover to a vehicle locking and security ECU. The locking and security ECU configured to provide an indication using an OEM security system of the vehicle when the open condition is detected.

A vehicle can include one or more movably mounted cameras that are able to move to adjust a viewing angle of the camera(s) relative to a body of the vehicle. The camera(s) may be movable by virtue of being coupled to a movable side mirror, such that movement of the side mirror changes a field of view of the camera coupled to the side mirror. For example, the side mirror can be rotated about a rotational axis between a first position in which a field of view of the camera is directed in a first direction (e.g. toward a ground proximate the vehicle), and a second position in which the field of view of the camera is directed in a second direction, different than the first direction (e.g., outward from the vehicle or toward a door of the vehicle).

A system for increasing the security of road users without an own motor vehicle comprises a plurality of motor vehicles, each having at least one vehicle security device that can be activated by an activation signal associated with a security assistance request and that is connected to a wireless communication interface for receiving the associated activation signal, and comprises a mobile communication device that can be carried by a road user without an own motor vehicle and that has a wireless mobile communication interface and a position-data acquisition unit configured for acquiring its own position-data, and for transmitting the position-data and a selected security assistance request, and comprises a control device, connected to a wireless control-signal interface for receiving the security assistance request and the acquired current position-data, and for transmitting activation signals associated with the security assistance request to an assisting motor vehicle of the plurality of motor vehicles, wherein the control device is configured to specify the one assisting motor vehicle also depending on the acquired current position-data and the security assistance request.

The present disclosure relates to surveillance system and method for detecting violation by driver in vehicle. The surveillance system comprises capturing unit for capturing license information of driver of the vehicle, upon start of the vehicle. Further, the surveillance system comprises processor configured to receive the license information of the driver from the capturing unit. Further, the processor is configured to receive continuous data related to the vehicle from one or more sensors in the vehicle. Furthermore, the processor is configured to detect occurrence of violation, of one or more pre-defined driving guidelines, based on monitoring the data related to the vehicle and the license information. Information related to the violation and the license information of the driver is transmitted to one or more external entities for taking actions against driver of the vehicle.

Embodiments herein are directed to a system that includes a user interface and a vehicle. The vehicle includes an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the user interface. The electronic control unit includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the electronic control unit to perform at least the following: transmit a plurality of vehicle security options to the user interface, the plurality of vehicle security options selectable by a user to actuate one or more of the security components of the vehicle security system, receive an input from the user interface indicative of at least one selected option of the plurality of vehicle security options to be actuated, and enable the security system with the at least one selected option to be actuated when the vehicle security system is activated.
