Abstract

The system consists of some form of immobilising system combined with a form of programmable interface to allow secure holding of road tax, MOT and insurance data and 'PIN' code for a particular vehicle. Also included in the system is a permanent memory holding data relating to the individual features of the vehicle. Post offices and/or government agencies will have systems to program the device with the required data and some form of universal interface would be available to police, traders and other parties who require access to a number of vehicles. A central system connected to the vehicle ignition system may have a dashboard-mounted interface which handshakes with a face-off panel which gives a visual warning of impending expiry. The system will allow effective, secure, permanent storage of the identifying features of a car. This would prevent the possibility of 'ringing' a car by changing the engine or registration details. A car incorporating this system would be harder to steal, more difficult to change and sell and therefore less appealing to a potential thief.

Description

This invention refers to Vehicle Security and Anti-fraud Svstems This issue of car security is one which has been addressed in a number of ways by both car manufacturers and by third party companies in various forms. This invention aims to provide that security in the form of an immobiliser combined with anti-fraud systems for Road Tax, MOT and Insurance.
Motor Vehicle Tax, MOT and Insurance are all required by law before a car or other motor vehicle may driven on the road. However, with increased crime levels, pressures on both road users and those who enforce the law, and a general increase in the number of vehicles being driven, this has become an almost impossible system to 'police'.
The invention in its current form consists of some form of immobilising system combined with a form of programmable interface to allow secure holding of data and 'PIN' code for a particular vehicle. Also included in the system is a permanent memory holding data relating to the individual features of the vehicle.
Post offices and / or government agencies will have systems to program the device with the required data and some form of universal interface would be available to police, traders and other parties who require access to a number of vehicles. The results of a feasibility study have shown that this will be possible.
In addition to the benefits outlined above, the system will allow effective, secure, permanent storage of the identifying features of a car. This would prevent the possibility of 'ringing' a car by changing the engine or registration details. A car incorporating this system would be harder to steel, more difficult to change and sell and therefore less appealing to a potential thief.
One specific example of this would involve a central microprocessor-driven system connected to the ignition system of the car and a dashboard mounted interface. This would handshake with a face-off panel carried by the user, containing security coded data relating to insurance, tax and MOT which would then mobilise the car. A form of visual warning device mounted on this panel would give staggered warnings over a fixed period of time until expire of one or more elements. After this time, the vehicle would be immobilised until renewal of all required elements.
The removal of this panel would also provide additional security by immobilising the car and therefore increasing anti-theft protection.

Claims (6)

Claims
1 A electronic system which will immobilise a car or other vehicle for security and anti-fraud purposes when Tax, MOT and insurance have expired and when the vehicle is left unattended..
2 A electronic system as Claimed in claim 1 which gives some form of visible warning of expiry.
3 A electronic system as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 with some form of removable interface which will allow easy re-prograninling and increased security.
4 An electronic system as Claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 with some form of electromagnetic, PCMCIA, or other card interface to program information and store data relating to the vehicle.
5 An electronic system as claimed in Claim 1, Claim 2 and Claim 3 or 4, which incorporates some form of permanent memory system to securely hold data relating to the individual features of the car including Vehicle Registration, Chasis Number and Engine Number.
6 A universal interface, combined with the device Claimed in Claims 1 to 5, which will provide access to any installed system, allowing removal of a secure vehicle by Police or other authorities.
