Abstract:
1. A programmed method for automatically wirelessly registering, monitoring, and controlling without need for human intervention, a vehicle legally or illegally occupying a defined restricted-access zone, comprising: (i) programming a vehicle operating system comprising a vehicle controller module independently powered in coordination with an authentication module loaded with a two-level authentication process for the prevention of theft or vandalism; (ii) automatically communicating vehicle identity data and location data via a transceiver information from a vehicle by a wireless signal to an intelligent wireless communication device suitably mounted at a location to identify and monitor the vehicle within a defined restricted access zone; (iii) registering the wireless signal in the intelligent wireless communication device and communicating by signal emission/reception through an external interface to and from a device with data access identifying registration, license, maintenance, and insurance, a device for monitoring an overall registration system, a programmable device updated with changing conditions and regulations, an automated device for revenue collection, thereby ascertaining the identity and location of the vehicle within the defined restricted-access zone; (iv) returning information from the intelligent wireless monitoring device to the vehicle legally occupying within the defined restricted access zone wirelessly disclosing the conditions and parameters of time and place of the vehicle location issuing a permit or receipt; or, alternatively, (v) returning information from the intelligent wireless monitoring device to the vehicle legally occupying within the defined restricted access zone wirelessly disclosing the conditions and parameters of time and place of the vehicle location and issuing a warning or penalty to the vehicle; and thereby wirelessly controlling vehicle stopping, standing and/or parking in said restricted space; and (vi) wirelessly disabling the vehicle operation in case of intrusion, theft or vandalism of vehicle circuitry components, the transceiver signaling to shut down vehicle operation unless, in case of error, the vehicle operator exercises control to override the vehicle shutdown by providing a two-level security authentication code.
