Abstract

In the Police Chase Eliminator (PCEL), a targeted vehicle being pursued through traffic may be apprehended by first identifying vehicles in the vicinity of the targeted vehicle, following the targeted vehicle until it is the only vehicle remaining of the originally identified vehicles, and then apprehending the targeted vehicle. This process may also be carried out by first identifying a select group of vehicles using vehicle descriptor limitations. The system for remotely controlling a targeted vehicle comprises a control unit which would normally be located in a police car and vehicle modules which are installed in motor vehicles. The control unit transmits activate commands to the vehicle modules which respond by either transmitting back a visual signal or an electronic signal. The control unit may also transmit control commands to the vehicle modules to control the operation of the vehicle. The activate control commands may include a vehicle 'Find' command and/or a vehicle 'Flash' command. The vehicle 'Find' command seeks an electronic response identifying a vehicle by it descriptors which may include vehicle VIN, vehicle type, vehicle color and vehicle make. The vehicle 'Flash' command initiates a visual indicator response from the vehicle such as the operation of its four-way flashers. The control commands include, a vehicle 'Slow' command for causing the vehicle to slow down, a vehicle 'Stop' command for causing the vehicle to stop and a vehicle 'Reset' command for resetting the vehicle module.
