ABSTRACT:
An automated system for immobilizing a vehicle and method therefore typically employed in a motor vehicle for disabling the throttle and deploying the brake and clutch control systems after a theft of the vehicle has occurred is disclosed. The invention includes a plurality of devices for monitoring a plurality of parameters of the vehicle and for generating the triggering signal. A central control microprocessor is employed for receiving and analyzing the plurality of parameters and for detecting the triggering signal. A throttle adjustable range actuator module is utilized for disabling the throttle of the vehicle upon detection of the triggering signal. Finally, a brake adjustable range actuator module is included for deploying the brakes to stop the vehicle. Additionally, a clutch adjustable range actuator module is included for deploying a manual clutch, if the vehicle is fitted with one, for preventing the wheels of the vehicle from being driven. The plurality of vehicle parameters monitored include the vehicle speed, status of an audio power supply and vehicle sound system, state of external triggering devices, instructions imputed from a reset keypad, microprocessor control data received across a data link, and the state of a plurality of adjustable range actuator modules.
