Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of law enforcement, and in particular a wireless interrogation and responder system for identifying and disabling of a target vehicle by law enforcement personnel .
  • License plates and/or the color of a car can often be readily changed, and hence, it is important for police organizations to have accurate and reliable data regarding the vehicles which they wish to stop.
  • police can ordinarily utilize central databases by calling in regarding a particular vehicle's license tag to see if it matches the vehicle.
  • stolen vehicles often display "temporary tags" which are not kept on police databases, and hence such devices render police identification systems useless. Additionally, the police still need to have the ability to non- destructively stop the vehicle once it is identified.
  • Devices for the electronic identification of vehicles from a distance are presently known in the art . Aircraft have used transponder systems for many years which allow a radio controller to identify a particular aircraft at a particular altitude on a radar screen.
  • An interrogation signal is sent to the aircraft and a response signal consisting of aircraft identification and/or altitude information is sent back to the air controller.
  • Similar technology is employed in anti-theft systems such as LOJACK (trademark) which use a transmitter mounted inside a vehicle which is activated to send out a homing signal when a vehicle is stolen. Police can then use a homing unit to track down the stolen vehicle.
  • U.S. Patent 5,533,045 discloses a vehicle identification system which uses an interrogator and responder, whereby the responder is mounted on a vehicle and sends out information when interrogated.

  • U.S. Patent 5,424,747 discloses a process and system utilizing radar signals to determine the position and orientation of a vehicle.
  • U.S Patent 5,420,794 discloses an automated highway system for controlling the operating parameters of a vehicle.
  • a highway control facility along the highway queries a passing vehicle for destination and other travel parameters. The vehicle might then be steered or controlled along the highway as necessary until control of the vehicle is passed along to the next highway control facility.
  • Global Positioning Systems may be used to remotely track and shut down a vehicle. Current usage of such systems is for theft deterrent wherein remote shut down is performed if vehicle tampering is detected. Thus shut down is possible from a remote location, without line of sight, making it impractical for law enforcement. Unless an individual can verify proper conditions for shutting down a vehicle, such a shut down could cause an accident.

  • FIG. 1 a block diagram is shown of the overall system 10 which includes interrogator system 12 and a responder system 14.
  • the interrogator system 12 is mounted or located in a law enforcement vehicle 6 and includes a police vehicle command control unit 16.
  • the control unit 16 incorporates a microprocessor 18 which is connected to a programmable memory device 20 such as RAM or an EPROM.
  • the unit 16 includes power supply circuitry 22 connected to +12VDC and ground leads 24 and 26.
  • a keypad 28 is connected to the microprocessor 18 through a keypad interface 30.
  • the front of the unit 16 also includes an LCD display device 32 which is driven by a display driver 34 with a connection 36 to the microprocessor 18.
  • a spread spectrum radio transceiver module 38 is connected to the command control unit 16 via a bus 40.
  • the transceiver includes standard components such as a modulator, demodulator, and transmitter.
  • the bus 40 connects through a serial interface port 42 with a connection 44 leading to the microprocessor 18.
  • the radio transceiver module 38 is connected to an antenna unit 46.
  • the antenna unit shown preferably includes a series of directional antenna horns 48 which are selectively connected to the radio transceiver module 38 via an antenna selector switch 50. Each horn, for instance, might project signals across a thirty degree (30°) span, and each could be used individually or in combination to achieve wider coverage angles.
  • the directional ability of the antenna allows the user to minimize the number of vehicles contacted or affected by the interrogator device .
  • the shown embodiment incorporates a log periodic type antenna with 6 dB of gain.
  • other types of antennas might similarly be used, including a signal horn antenna, or other types of antennas with different gains.
  • Power output of the interrogator unit in general can be varied so as to minimize or maximize the contact and command range of the interrogator.
  • a corresponding responder system 14 is concealed within the target vehicle 8.
  • the responder system 14 includes an identification and logic control module 52 with a power supply 54 having +12VDC and ground leads 56 and 58.
  • the control module 52 includes a microprocessor 60 which is connected to a programmable memory device 62 such as RAM or an EPROM.
  • the memory device 62 might also include a nonvolatile memory source for permanent and tamper- free storage of pertinent vehicle information.
  • a preprogrammed chip may also be provided by state government detailing current registration details.
  • the responder system 14 communicates with the interrogator system 12 via a spread spectrum radio transceiver module 64.
  • the transceiver includes standard components such as a modulator, demodulator, and transmitter.
  • the radio transceiver module 64 utilizes an omnidirectional antenna 66 to transmit and receive signals in all directions to and from the interrogator system 12.
  • the present embodiment utilizes a 1/4 wave omnidirectional antenna mounted in the tail lamp of the target vehicle.
  • the radio transceiver module 64 is connected to the control module 52 via bus 68 through serial interface port 70.
  • a keypad device 74 is also detachably connected through the serial interface port 70 or otherwise. The keypad device is used to download and program pertinent information for each vehicle 8 into the memory storage device 62 through the microprocessor 60.
  • the control module 52 can order the vehicle to respond in various ways.
  • the embodiment shown includes a fuel pump shutoff control circuit 76 connected to the microprocessor 60.
  • This control circuit 76 is connected to a fuel pump circuit 78 in the vehicle 8 which would be responsive to on and off signals to the fuel flow. When the fuel flow is cut off, the vehicle would lose power and roll to a stop. Associated with such an action is a lamp strobe control circuit 78 which is connected to brake and reverse lamp circuits 80. When the vehicle 8 is disabled, the brake and reverse lights will then flash in order to warn the vehicle passengers, surrounding vehicles and pedestrians that the vehicle will be stopping soon thereafter. Also included is a brake control circuit 120 which may be connected to a brake circuit 122 on a vehicle. Yet another command might include window and door locking in order to prevent a suspect from fleeing a disabled vehicle.
  • a window and door lock circuit 82 is included which is connected to power window and door lock circuits onboard the vehicle 8.
  • the interrogator system 12 sends out a polling or interrogation signal via the transmission link 72 to find out what vehicles are within a given reception area.
  • the law enforcement officer using the system operates the keypad or user interface 28 to select the appropriate interrogation signal, as assisted by visual feedback from the display unit 32.
  • the user interface may take on several forms, with one example being a handheld unit, and another example being any portable computer currently in use by the policy agency in its patrol cars.
  • the officer activates the interrogator by pressing a button on the user interface 28.
  • voice recognition, joystick, or the like command sending devices can be used to activate the interrogator.
  • the interrogator 12 might use any of several transmission mediums to send and receive signals, preferably laser to diode or radar to transponder. The embodiment shown uses spread spectrum radio frequency transmissions.
  • the interrogator system 12 then activates only particular vehicles targeted, and/or the system may activate all the vehicle responder systems 14 within a given contact region.
  • the officer might also select the direction and power to be applied to the interrogation signal so that only a given area or radius will be polled.
  • step 92 the responder system 14 in each contacted target vehicle 8 receives the interrogation signal, verifies it, and reads the vehicle identification data from memory 62.
  • the vehicle identification data can be stored in either programmable memory or permanent nonvolatile memory as stated above. If the signal is not verified, it will be ignored.
  • Each responder system 14 transmits its vehicular data back to the interrogator via the radio transceiver module 64 in the form of a data stream.
  • step 94 the interrogator system receives and processes the data stream. Contacted vehicles which do not pass a logic test are not displayed upon the user interface. In this manner, the interrogation signal can be sent out for all vehicles in the vicinity to respond. This might include, however, fifty or more vehicles.
  • the interrogator unit will receive and process the incoming signals, but will then only display the vehicles which are of interest to the police officer, e.g. Pontiac Firebirds, Mercedes 560SL, or Lincoln Towncars, and will block out the rest. Also, if a target vehicle is known to be in the vicinity but does not appear on the interrogator display 32, then the officer needs only to reactivate the interrogator to receive new response signals or the officer will know the responder is not functioning properly, has not yet been installed, or has been removed. A traffic stop under such circumstances will reveal whether the device has been tampered with as a typical citizen would not fee from police.
  • the police officer e.g. Pontiac Firebirds, Mercedes 560SL, or Lincoln Towncars
  • step 96 the interrogator receives and processes the data streams, it displays the contact vehicles' description information on a monitor or display device 32.
  • the officer uses a pointing device, or other method such as voice recognition, to select a vehicle from the display 32 which the officer wishes to stop or disable. Multiple vehicles might be entered into the system for a forced stop by "tagging" multiple targets to control an entire range of vehicles.
  • This information is stored in a buffer and/or memory 20 and the officer can then shutdown the vehicles in any sequence deemed appropriate by working from the same initial contact screen displayed on the display device 32.
  • the identification and appropriate vehicular commands are then processed into broadcast commands as per step 98.
  • step 100 the user is then prompted, via a second screen or otherwise, if the targets selected are the correct ones for a vehicular stop.
  • the second screen will contain more detailed information on each vehicle as available and appropriate for the particular search being conducted. If a selection is incorrect 101, the user will be prompted to select again in step 96 and any incorrect entries can be removed from the transmission buffer or memory 20.
  • the identification codes and vehicular commands are transmitted as per step 104 for reception by the particular target vehicles due to the identification codes contained within the commands. Non-identified vehicles will simply ignore and not act upon the commands. Targeted vehicle responder systems 14, however, will receive the command and act upon receipt of the data after verification of the signal.
  • a reply signal will be sent back from the vehicle responder system 14 confirming the action by the target vehicle as per step 106. For instance, if a target vehicle is sent a shutdown command, the reply signal will send a "kill" or "shutdown" response back to the interrogator.
  • the interrogator unit will continuously send out interrogation or disablement commands until appropriate action is achieved, when, for example, the fleeing vehicle is close to maximum range. This prevents the law enforcement officers from having to continually re-initiate transmission of such signals as they are simultaneously required perform other related law enforcement tasks such as driving, surveillance, and/or radio communications.
  • the interrogator system 12 displays a confirmation that such action has been taken upon the target vehicle. If a vehicle has erroneously been shutdown, the user can send an immediate reset signal to the affected vehicles as per step 110.
  • the shutdown vehicles will begin a reactivation timer sequence 112 whereupon control will be returned to the vehicle after approximately 5 minutes if the police overlook resetting the erroneously targeted vehicle.
  • Figure 3 another variation of the general steps of operation of the interrogator and responder systems 12 and 14 are shown. In this Figure, the steps are essentially the same as in Figure 2. However, in order to prevent possible abuse of the shutdown system by police or authorities, the police would request an additional authorization code from the centralized police station as per step 114. This code is then transmitted back to the police unit thereby allowing the interrogator to complete the shutdown transmission. Alternatively, the police station might be responsible for all such shutdown or vehicle command transmissions in step 104.
  • the interrogator system 12 might additionally utilize a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit 116 connected to the police vehicle command control unit 16.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • the control unit 116 can be made to generate a log of shutdowns, kills or other such uses of the device, including for instance, date; time; stopped vehicle information; police officer utilizing the device; and the exact location of the stop as provided by the GPS signal. Without the GPS system, a log of the remaining information can still be stored away in a protected nonvolatile memory device to achieve the same purposes.
  • Unauthorized use by non-police could be achieved by using such schemes as identi ication code rollover protections in the responder unit.
  • rollover protections can be used to generate a new code automatically with each search inquiry, which resets or rolls-over after a prescribed time period.
  • the spread spectrum radios were using now already make it difficult for hackers to scan.
  • the responder system can test and verify the signal integrity as one coming from an authorized source. This would include, for example, imbedding a carrier wave within the police interrogator signal which the responder would specifically look for. Additionally, the police could use special identification codes known only to them when contacting the responder units of individual vehicles.
  • Still other security measures include: anti-scan technology incorporated into the responder system; usage of special frequencies above the range of scanning devices as provided by the FCC; scrambling and descrambling various transmissions; usage of various light sensitive or motion sensitive chips, which for instance would erase all memory from either transceiver if improperly tampered with; locking key portions of the system of the police unit in a fixed-mounted, heavy-duty frame or safe within the vehicle; controlled distribution of the police units at the station with timed battery usage which wipes the memory if not returned within a certain time period; and/or usage of officer identification codes into the interrogator unit before the unit will activate. Countermeasures against blockage or jamming of the signals transmitted to and from the responder would also be included as needed.
  • Such measures might include: constant circuitry testing to detect damage or tampering with the responder system; monitoring for jamming of the radio receiver/transponder and/or blockage of the diode in a laser based system. Responsive measures might also be taken upon detection of tampering, disablement, or mechanical fault of the responder including: usage of a transmitter or transponder hidden on the vehicle to broadcast a signal to the police station or police vehicle under such failure conditions; design of automobile parts which integrally contain features of the system and do not readily allow removal and substitution with replacement parts; and/or incorporation of permanent disabling features upon the vehicle if device tampering is detected.
