INTRODUCTION

It is known in the art to equip vehicles with an alarm system which includes a radio alarm transmitter (Zigbee module) within the vehicle. Unauthorized tampering with the vehicle, or operation of a secret alarm switch by the authorized operator of the vehicle, causes a signal to be transmitted from the vehicle to alert others to the intrusion or other unauthorized situation. It is also known in the art to provide vehicles with intrusion alarm systems which operate, in response to unauthorized entry into the vehicle, to disable the vehicle by techniques such as interrupting the fuel supply, vehicle the electrical system, or the like. Such systems of the prior art do not, however, provide a system in which a vehicle which is underway, under control of an unauthorized occupant, can be involuntarily stopped or retarded by the vehicle operator as he normally operates vehicle controls such as the brake or accelerator. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved vehicle emergency alarm and stop system. It is another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle emergency alarm and stop system which causes a vehicle to be stopped or retarded in a controlled manner when the vehicle operator normally intends to slow down the vehicle. It is another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle emergency alarm and stop system which permits selective emergency message signaling from the vehicle. It is still another object of the present invention to provide an improved antenna system for a vehicle emergency alarm and stop system. Stated in general terms, the present invention includes a transmitter which is carried by a vehicle and which is actuated by one or more emergency conditions within the vehicle to transmit an alarm signal. A signal receiver located remotely of the vehicle receives alarm signals from suitably equipped vehicles, so that a stop command signal can be transmitted for reception by a receiver in the vehicle. The vehicle includes means which operates in response to a received stop command signal to condition a control function of the vehicle to be retained in a retarded position at the subsequent control of the vehicle operator. Stated somewhat more specifically, the received stop command signal conditions a control function such as the brake system or accelerator of the vehicle so that the selected control function, when momentarily retarded by the operator to slow down the vehicle, cannot subsequently be returned to a condition which does not retard the vehicle. Selection of the particular emergency-condition vehicle for operation by the stop command signal is accomplished by an antenna on the vehicle which becomes operative only in response to an emergency situation, or alternatively by coded stop command signals.

algorithms: Wireless links use the same transmission medium - the air to transmit the radio signal. In order to achieve multi-point inter-communication within the same area, how to prevent the collision between the data packets transmitting in the air must be considered, so that reliable wireless transmission paths can be established. In this system, some solutions, such as FDMA (Frequence Division Multiple Access), CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) and so on, are used to solve corresponding issues, as their commonly usage in wireless communication. a) FDMA program implementation: In the program, change of channel is necessary. Setting the 2.4GHz frequency band, the channel can be changed with the change of the CHANNR value in register. In programming, different transmitting modules are fixed mandatorily in different channels. Take a simple system as an example, which is composed of two transmit module TX1 and TX2, a receiver module RX. Module TX1 and TX2 send data packets to the RX module at the same time. (as they send in different sub-channels, packet collision will not occur in the air, neither will appear packet transmission errors.) While, the RX module constantly scans the different sub-channels to monitor whether there is a qualified data packet. If any, it will automatically receive it. So it achieves point (module RX) to multi-point (module TX1 and module TX2) reliable wireless data communication. b) CSMA/CA program implementation: ZigBee adopts CSMA/CA algorithm. CSMA/CA protocol provides that: When one of the sites tends to send a message, it should first monitor the channel to check whether the idle period is longer than a certain frame interval. If so, sent immediately, otherwise dont send and continue monitoring. CSMA/CA communication mode closely links the division of the time domain with the frame format, ensures that only one site is sending at a time, and achieves centralized control of network systems. SCOPE OF STUDY

The Check post will monitor the vehicle using the Zigbee and will retrieve all the valuable information of the vehicle like Vehicle no, owner Name, road tax, insurance of the vehicle, RC book and all necessary information. If any fault will found the vehicle the check post police will send intimation to the car that you need to stop the car within 30 seconds. In case the person will not stop the car the car will automatic stop the vehicle. The all information will be monitored by the RTO office because the data regarding that vehicle will store in the RTO office server. If police will not take the fine from the owner the RTO database will not be updated further that can be monitor and appropriate action can take by the RTO office.

The vehicle includes a Zigbee module which, when actuated as described below, transmits signals through the antenna which may be concealed beneath the body surface of the vehicle, when not in use. The vehicle receiver is connected to receive signals from the antenna, as supplied through receive-transmit switch which protects the receiver from RF energy the transmitter operates. The output of the vehicle receiver is supplied to the vehicle stop control. The vehicle transmitter is energized to transmit a predetermined signal whenever an unauthorized or emergency condition is sensed by any of one or more condition sensing means associated with the vehicle. The signal on the line is supplied to the message selector, which provides a message selection signal to the recorded message unit. The vehicle apparatus can be equipped with a Zigbee module which provides an emergency condition input to the message selector in response to a signal received from the portable transmitter. The portable transmitter is intended to be carried by the authorized operator of the vehicle when the operator leaves the vehicle unattended, so that an operator who witnesses an attempted break-in or other emergency relating to the unattended vehicle can activate the emergency alarm apparatus within the vehicle by remote control from the portable transmitter. The portable transmitter and local receiver preferably operate on a different frequency from the vehicle transmitter and vehicle receiver, and the portable transmitter should preferably have a relatively short effective range. The solenoid is connected to be activated in response to an output signal from the vehicle receiver, so that the latch member is lowered into engagement position with the latch surface of the throttle arm. Assuming that the vehicle is operating under at least partial throttle at a time when the solenoid is actuated to lower the latch member, the throttle arm is at that time displaced to the right of the latch member by the cable, so that operation of the throttle is immediately unaffected by the signal from the vehicle receiver. As soon as the unauthorized operator of the vehicle momentarily releases the accelerator, however, the throttle arm is returned to the position and the latch surface is engaged by the latch member. Subsequent attempts to operate the vehicle accelerator will result only in compressing the spring of the elastic connection, however, since the throttle arm is maintained in idle position by the latch member. The vehicle will thus coast to a stop or, alternatively, will be limited to a predetermined maximum speed, despite efforts of the unauthorized operator to accelerate the vehicle.
