Specification

Description:A SYSTEM FOR MOBILIZATION OF ONE OR MORE VEHICLES AND METHOD THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to system and method 5 for a system for mobilization of one or more vehicles and method thereof. More particularly, but not exclusively to a system and method of remote immobilization of one or more vehicles based on a predefined plurality of conditions, to ensure safe and effective vehicle mobilization by executing mobilization commands only when specific conditions are met. 10
BACKGROUND
[0002] In today's fast-paced world, the need for vehicle management and security measures has become increasingly important. Vehicle owners and fleet managers face challenges in effectively monitoring, controlling, and 15 securing their vehicles, particularly when it comes to remote mobilization and immobilization. Traditional methods of vehicle management often rely on manual intervention or rudimentary systems that lack the sophistication needed to address modern-day requirements.
[0003] Conventional vehicle management systems offer limited capabilities 20 for remote control, often requiring physical access to the vehicle or relying on simplistic mechanisms such as key-based immobilization. This limitation can be particularly problematic in scenarios where immediate action is required, such as in the case of theft or unauthorized usage.
[0004] Many existing technologies provide basic vehicle status monitoring, 25 such as GPS tracking and engine immobilization. However, they often fail to offer comprehensive insights into crucial parameters related to the vehicle usage. Without access to real-time data on these variables, vehicle owners lack the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding vehicle mobilization. 30
[0005] Traditional vehicle management systems often suffer from inefficiencies in data management, with vehicle parameters scattered across
3
separate platforms or stored in siloed databases. This fragmented approach to data storage not only complicates the process of accessing and analysing information but also hampers the effectiveness of decision-making processes related to vehicle mobilization. [0006] Existing solutions may overlook critical safety and security 5 considerations when executing mobilization commands. Without robust condition checks and fail-safe mechanisms in place, there is a risk of unintended consequences, such as immobilizing a vehicle in a hazardous location or during operation, leading to potential accidents or disruptions in operations. Implementing and integrating traditional vehicle management 10 systems can be a complex and resource-intensive process. From installing hardware components in vehicles to configuring software platforms and establishing communication channels, the deployment of these solutions often requires significant time, expertise, and financial investment.
[0007] Thus, there is a need in the art for a method and a system for a system 15 for mobilization of one or more vehicles and method thereof which addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.
[0008] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, 20 as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

[00019] An objective of the present subject matter is to enhance vehicle mobilization by considering additional parameters such as engine status and vehicle speed, allowing for more logical decision-making in executing mobilization commands. 30
6
[00020] An objective of the present subject matter is to ensure safe and effective vehicle mobilization by executing mobilization commands only when specific conditions are met, including the ignition status being off, the engine status being off, the vehicle speed being below a predefined threshold, and the vehicle being in a standstill state. 5
[00021] An objective of the present subject matter is to provide proactive vehicle security measures by executing mobilization commands when the ignition status transitions from on to off and remains off for a predefined period, reducing the risk of unauthorized vehicle usage.
[00022] An objective of the present subject matter is to facilitate efficient 10 execution of mobilization commands by sending commands directly to the engine control unit of identified vehicles, enabling swift mobilization or immobilization as necessary.
[00023] An objective of the present subject matter is to provide a method for vehicle mobilization that integrates seamlessly with existing systems, 15 ensuring ease of implementation and usability for vehicle owners.
[00024] The present subject matter provides a system for mobilization of one or more vehicles. This system comprises an external device, and a control unit. The external device is associated with an owner, and is connected with a server. The owner sends the mobilization command to the server via the 20 external device. The control unit is disposed in each of the one or more vehicles. The control unit is connected to the server and the one or more vehicles. The control unit receives a mobilization command from the server. The mobilization command is directed to a plurality of identified vehicles selected from the one or more vehicles. The control unit receives at least an 25 ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit detects a vehicle state of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit executes the mobilization command based on at least the received ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles, and the detected vehicle state of the plurality of identified vehicles. 30
[00025] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the external device receives a plurality of parameters from the server. The plurality of parameters
7
comprises geographical location of each of the one or more vehicles, the vehicle state of each of the one or more vehicles, a battery status of each of the one or more vehicles, the ignition status of each of the one or more vehicles, an engine status of each of the one or more vehicles, and a tracking information of each of the one or more vehicles. The external device displays 5 the plurality of parameters to the owner. The owner is enabled to select the plurality of identified vehicle based on the plurality of parameters. For instance, if a vehicle drives out of a permitted geographical area, the owner can detect this deviation through the displayed geographical location parameter. With this information at hand, the owner can take appropriate 10 action, such as issuing commands to immobilize the vehicle. Thus, by providing access to crucial vehicle parameters, the external device enables owners to manage their fleet and respond effectively to any unexpected events or deviations from predefined criteria, ultimately enhancing operational control and security. 15 [00026] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the server receives the plurality of parameters from each of the control unit which is disposed in each of the one or more vehicles. The server stores and map the plurality of parameters and against each of the one or more vehicles.
[00027] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the control unit further 20 receives the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles and a speed of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit executes the mobilization command based on at least the received ignition status, the engine status, the speed, and the detected vehicle state.
[00028] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the control unit 25 executes the mobilization command upon satisfaction of a plurality of conditions, the plurality of conditions comprises the received ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles is in OFF condition, the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles is in OFF condition, the speed of the plurality of identified vehicles is less than a predefined speed, and the 30 detected vehicle state is a standstill state. The importance of the parameters
8
in the execution of the mobilization command lies in their safe and effective immobilization. The received ignition status being OFF ensures that the vehicle is not actively in use, the engine status being OFF, confirming that the engine is not running. Monitoring the vehicle speed ensures it is either stationary or moving at a very low speed, mitigating the risk of accidents. 5 Additionally, detecting the vehicle in a standstill state confirms its stationary position, indicating it's safe for immobilization. Standstill state refers to the vehicle being completely stationary, contrasting with the running state where the vehicle is actively in motion, or the idling state where the engine is running but the vehicle remains stationary. 10 [00029] The system executes the command only when all conditions align, minimizing the likelihood of unintended movement or inconvenience. By considering these parameters, the system enhances operational safety and user satisfaction, ensuring a seamless vehicle mobilization process.
[00030] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the plurality of 15 conditions further comprises the received ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles transitions from ON condition to OFF condition and is in OFF condition for more than a predefined time. The significance of including the condition where the received ignition status transitions from ON to OFF and remains OFF for more than a predefined time lies in ensuring user safety 20 and preventing inconvenience. This condition acts as a safeguard against accidental immobilization, particularly in scenarios where a vehicle's engine may unexpectedly turn off due to temporary malfunctions or interruptions. By considering the duration of the ignition status being OFF, the system mitigates the risk of immobilizing a vehicle unnecessarily, which could lead 25 to inconvenience or even safety concerns for the user. For instance, if a vehicle's engine momentarily stalls or shuts down due to a minor issue, such as a brief electrical glitch or fuel system issue, the system allows a grace period before executing the immobilization command. This ensures that users are not stranded unexpectedly, providing them with the opportunity to restart 30 the vehicle and continue their journey without disruption. This condition adds an extra layer of protection against inadvertent immobilization, prioritizing
9
user convenience and safety while maintaining the system's ability to enforce immobilization commands effectively when warranted by predefined conditions. The predefined time duration for the ignition status transitioning from ON to OFF and remaining OFF may range from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. This time frame allows the system to accommodate varying 5 scenarios and provides a balance between ensuring user safety and preventing unnecessary immobilization. By setting the predefined time duration within this range, the system can effectively distinguish between temporary engine disruptions and genuine instances where immobilization is necessary. A longer duration provides an extended window for users to rectify any issues 10 before the immobilization command is executed, thereby minimizing the risk of inconvenience or disruption to their journey. [00031] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the control unit executes the mobilization command by sending the mobilization command to an engine control unit of each of the plurality of identified vehicles. This 15 engine control unit is able to at least mobilize and immobilize the plurality of identified vehicles. This engine control unit may be a TCI of the vehicle, which possesses the capability to control both the immobilization and mobilization of the vehicles. By interfacing directly with the TCI, the control unit ensures communication and execution of commands. The TCI serves as 20 a critical component in the vehicle's electronic control system, allowing for the implementation of immobilization and mobilization protocols in accordance with the commands received from the control unit. Through this, the system effectively leverages the capabilities of the TCI to enforce immobilization or mobilization actions as dictated by the user commands, 25 thereby enhancing overall control and security of the vehicle.
[00032] The present subject matter also provides a method of mobilization of the one or more vehicles. This method comprises steps of an external device sending a mobilization command to a server. The external device is associated with an owner, and is connected with the server; a control unit 30 receives the mobilization command from the server. The mobilization command is directed to a plurality of identified vehicles selected from the one
10
or more vehicles. The control unit receives at least an ignition status of the vehicle from the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit detects a vehicle state of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit executes the mobilization command based on at least the received ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles and the detected vehicle state of the plurality 5 of identified vehicles. [00033] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the method further comprises steps of the external device receiving a plurality of parameters. The plurality of parameters comprises geographical location of each of the one or more vehicles, the vehicle state of each of the one or more vehicles, a battery 10 status of each of the one or more vehicles, the ignition status of each of the one or more vehicles, an engine status of each of the one or more vehicles, and a tracks information of each of the one or more vehicles. The external device displays the plurality of parameters to the owner. The owner is enabled to select the plurality of identified vehicle based on the plurality of 15 parameters.
[00034] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the method further comprises steps of the server receiving the plurality of parameters. The server then stores and maps the plurality of parameters and against each of the one or more vehicles. 20
[00035] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, the method further comprises steps of the control unit receiving the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit receives a speed of the plurality of identified vehicles. The control unit checks a plurality of conditions. The plurality of conditions comprises the received ignition status of the plurality 25 of identified vehicles is in OFF condition, the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles is in OFF condition, the speed of the plurality of identified vehicles is less than a predefined speed, and the detected vehicle state is a standstill state, the received ignition status of the plurality of identified vehicles transitions from ON condition to OFF condition and is in OFF 30
11
condition for more than a predefined time. The control unit executes the mobilization command based on the checks of the plurality of conditions. [00036] The present subject matter is described using a system for mobilization of one or more vehicles and method thereof which is used in a vehicle, whereas the claimed subject matter can be used in any other type of 5 application employing above-mentioned a system for mobilization of one or more vehicles and method thereof, with required changes and without deviating from the scope of invention. Further, it is intended that the disclosure and examples given herein be considered as exemplary only.

[00038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to a system for mobilization of one or more vehicles and method thereof with the accompanying drawings. However, the present 20 invention is not limited to the present embodiments. The present subject matter is further described with reference to accompanying figures. It should be noted that the description and figures merely illustrate principles of the present subject matter. Various arrangements may be devised that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, encompass the principles of the 25 present subject matter. Moreover, all statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and examples of the present subject matter, as well as specific examples thereof, are intended to encompass equivalents thereof.
[00039] Figure 1 exemplarily illustrates a block diagram in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The block diagram represents the 30 system for mobilization of one or more vehicles (100), which comprises an
12
external device (202), and a control unit. The external device (202) is associated with an owner, and is connected with a server (204). The owner sends the mobilization command to the server (204) via the external device (202). The control unit (102) is disposed in each of the one or more vehicles (100). The control unit (102) is connected tothe server (204) and the one or5 more vehicles (100). [00040] The control unit (102) further receives the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles (100) and a speed of the plurality of identified vehicles (100). The control unit (102) executes the mobilization command based on at least the received ignition status, the engine status, the speed, and 10 the detected vehicle state. The control unit (102) executes the mobilization command by sending the mobilization command to an engine control unit (102)of each of the plurality of identified vehicles (100). This engine controlunit (102) is able to at least mobilize and immobilize the plurality of identifiedvehicles (100). 15
[00041] Figure 2 exemplarily illustrates a flowchart diagram in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00042] The method initiates the process at step 201. At step 202, the external device sends a mobilization command to a server (204). At step 203, a control unit (102) receives the mobilization command from the server (204). At step 20 204, the control unit (102) receives at least an ignition status of the vehicle from the plurality of identified vehicles. Gathering ignition status data provides critical information about the readiness of the vehicles for mobilization. This allows the system to ensure that vehicles are safely immobilized before executing any further commands. 25
[00043] Also, sending the mobilization command to the server allows for centralized control and coordination. This ensures that commands are transmitted securely and reliably, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or interference. By receiving the command, the control unit (102) in each vehicle can promptly prepare for mobilization or immobilization, ensuring 30
13
swift response to the owner's instructions and enhancing overall operational efficiency. [00044] At step 205, the external device (202) receives a plurality of parameters. The external device (202) receiving a comprehensive set of parameters empowers the owner with insights into vehicle status. This 5 enables informed decision-making and enhances the owner's ability to select vehicles for mobilization based on specific criteria.
[00045] At step 206, the control unit (102) detects a vehicle state of the plurality of identified vehicles. Detecting the vehicle state assesses whether the vehicles are in a suitable condition for mobilization. This ensures that 10 mobilization commands are executed only when the vehicles are stationary, minimizing the risk of accidents or disruptions.
[00046] At step 207, the control unit (102) receives the engine status of the plurality of identified vehicles. Receiving engine status data enables the system to evaluate the operational readiness of the vehicles' engines. This 15 ensures that mobilization commands are executed safely, considering the condition of the engine components.
[00047] At step 208, the control unit (102) receives a speed of the plurality of identified vehicles. Monitoring vehicle speed provides crucial information for determining whether the vehicles are moving at a safe and controllable 20 pace. This threshold ensures that vehicles are not mobilized while in motion, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.
[00048] At step 209, the system checks whether is ignition status = OFF AND engine status = OFF AND speed < 5 kmph AND vehicle state = standstill AND received ignition status changing from ON to OFF and being 25 in OFF > 60 seconds. If the conditions are satisfied, the method moves to 210a. The system checks a series of conditions to ensure safe and effective vehicle mobilization.
[00049] At step 210a, the control unit (102) executes the mobilization command. 30
14
[00050] If the conditions are satisfied, the method moves to 210b. At step 210b, the system waits for the vehicle to meet the plurality of conditions, and until then the vehicle will continue to run. Once the vehicle satisfies the plurality of conditions, the method will move to step 210a, the control unit (102) executes the mobilization command. If conditions for vehicle 5 mobilization are not immediately met, the system enters a waiting state, continuously monitoring the vehicle's status. Once all conditions are satisfied, the control unit proceeds to execute the mobilization command. This illustrates the system's resilience and adaptability, ensuring that mobilization actions are only taken under optimal circumstances. 10
[00051] Let us consider the following working example. The vehicle mobilization system initiates when the external device sends a mobilization command to the server, which in turn transmits a set of parameters including geographical location, vehicle state, battery status, ignition status, engine status, and tracking information to the owner's device. 15
[00052] Upon reviewing these parameters, the owner identifies a vehicle requiring immobilization action, triggering the control unit in the identified vehicle to receive and verify the command's execution against predefined conditions.
[00053] The system checks if the ignition status is off, engine status off, 20 vehicle speed below the predefined threshold (e.g.: 5 kmph), and the vehicle in a standstill state.
[00054] With all conditions met, the control unit proceeds to execute the mobilization command, transmitting it to the engine control unit (TCI) of the vehicle, which immobilizes the vehicle. Confirmation of successful 25 immobilization is relayed back to the owner via the external device.
[00055] In addition to this, the server in the vehicle mobilization system also plays a role in storing and mapping the parameters received from each vehicle's control unit. By organizing and storing this data, the server enables the owner to access historical trends of each vehicle within the fleet. This data 30
15
enables the owner to identify patterns and trends in vehicle behaviour over time, such as frequent engine or ignition faults, fluctuations in battery status, or instances of vehicles straying from designated geographical areas. The owner can make decisions regarding fleet management and maintenance schedules. Moreover, in cases where vehicles exhibit recurrent faults or 5 deviations from predefined criteria (e.g., speed, geographical area), the data enables the owner to take action, such issue immobilization commands to prevent misuse or damage. Thus, by enabling the owner to view trends and history, the server enhances the overall efficiency, safety, and security of the vehicle fleet management process. 10 [00056] A person with ordinary skills in the art will appreciate that the systems, modules, and sub-modules have been illustrated and explained to serve as examples and should not be considered limiting in any manner. It will be further appreciated that the variants of the above disclosed system elements, modules, and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, 15 may be combined to create other different systems or applications.
