Abstract

The main objective of the project is to develop a control system for the monitoring, tracking, and remote immobilization of automobiles. This objective will be achieved through the selection and incorporation of the latest generation alternative technologies (such as the two-way pager), which will allow the maximization of the cost/benefit relationship of the final product, making possible its popularization and use on a large scale. The system permits the location, tracking and remote control of vehicles, through the use of satellite locating systems (GPS – Global Positioning Systems) and of the data transmission technology of two-way pagers (Reflex protocol). The fact that a large part of the national territory is already covered by paging systems, increases the reliability of the proposed security system (there are plans to extend the two-way pager coverage). The proposed system will permit the incorporation of an immobilizing unit via magnetic transponders already developed and in the initial phase of commercialization by Standard Telecom, which will allow for both the local and remote monitoring and immobilization of vehicles. The system will permit the development of new commercial applications in the areas of monitoring and control of freight transportation, security systems and anti-theft of vehicles; the monitoring and remote control of mobile devices, enabling the implementation of various applications in the area of tele-metrics and tele-command.
