Abstract

A device for controlling the speed of a vehicle comprises a transmitter located outside the vehicle and a receiver fitted on a vehicle. The transmitter may be part of a road sign or a hand held device operated by a police officer. The receiver, on receiving a signal from the transmitter, may slow the vehicle down by affecting the brakes, the fuel supply, the electronic systems or via means of the speedometer cable. The device can be used to control the speed of vehicles in speed restriction areas or by police to stop vehicles they are pursuing.

Description

1/4 THE SPEED CONTROLER.
The speed controler is a device made up from a transmitter and a receiver.
The transmitter will send a message from the road side to the receiver which is fitted under all vehicles, or to all vehicles.
When the message is received by the receiver the speed of the vehicle will be reduced to the desired speed required by a way which is safe and cost effective, ie: Fuel suppley to engine, or through the vehicles electronic system, or through the vehicles braking system, or through the vehicles speedometer cable.
The transmitter can be fitted to speed restriction signs, hazard warning signs for example school warning signs, motorway signs including fog signs. Also a hand held transmitter can be held by police for pursuits or any other dangerous situations.

Claims (5)

2/4 THE SPEED CONTROLER. THE CLAIM.
1. To control speed by being able to slow down motor vehicles by an out side force by means of a transmitter and receiver.
2. To control speed as in claim 1. by reducing fuel supply to engine.
3. To control speed as in claim 1. by use of vehicles electronic system.
4. To control speed as in claim 1. by use of vehicles braking system.
5. To control speed as in claim 1. by means of speedometer cable.
