ABSTRACT:
A remotely operable vehicle disabling system for terminating operation of a vehicle. The system has a remotely operable transmit unit for transmitting a command shutdown message to a command-receiver vehicle unit in a vehicle. The vehicle unit is in communication with at least one operational component and capable of shutting down that component to thereby terminate vehicle operation. The transmit unit can initially transmit a query message prior to the shutdown message to confirm vehicle identity or to confirm the presence of the vehicle disabling system. Correspondingly, the vehicle unit is capable of receiving both the query message and the shutdown message and of responding to the query message, with all such communication activities preferably being encoded with a continuously changing key. Additionally, the transmit unit optionally can include a speed detector for determining the speed of a vehicle approaching the unit, with the detector having in association therewith a video recording device for recording movement of the vehicle. Optional global positioning satellite communication can be included for locating vehicles monitored by the satellite. The disabling system provides a safe and efficient manner for law enforcement personnel to apprehend criminals attempting to escape in vehicles.
