ABSTRACT:
A golf cart control and monitoring apparatus, includes a signal transmitter, at least one antenna, a signal receiving and processing device, and an event log device. The signal transmitter transmits a plurality of electromagnetic signals, each signal being representative of a position with respect to a restricted area of a golf course. The signal receiving and processing device receives the electromagnetic signals radiating from the antenna and provides output signals representative of the location of the cart with respect to the restricted area, where at least one of these output signals is representative of the golf cart being located in the restricted area. The event log device is responsive to the signal receiving and processing device and generates historical log of how long and how many times the golf cart was located within golf course restricted areas. In another embodiment, a plurality of ranging signals are transmitted from a number of antennas located at known location on the golf course and the signals receiving and processing device includes a microprocessor for determining the location of the cart with respect to the restricted area based on these ranging signals.
