Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in a nasty surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (使車輛不能調(diào)動(dòng)的裝置),and a radio signal from a control center miles a w a y will ensure that once the thief switches the engine 51 ,he will not be able to start it again.
For now, such devices 52 only available for fleets of trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle d o w n to ordinary cars and 53 _ be available to ordinary cars in the U K 54 two months.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates 55 miniature cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a G P S satellite positioning receiver. 56 the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle,s engine management system and prevent the engine 57 restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers 58 shut down vehicles on the move, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK an array of technical fixes is already making 59 harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicles crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall of Thatcham a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part 60 the motor insurance industry.
He says it would only take him a few minutes to 61 a novice h o w to steal a car, using a bare m i n i m u m of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modem cars are a far tougher proposition, as their engine management computer will not 62 them to start unless they receive a unique ID code b eamed out by the ignition key. In the UK , technologies like this 63 achieve a 31 percent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the o w n e r ’s keys in a burglary. In 2000, 12 percent of vehicles stolen in the U K were taken using the o w n e r ’s keys double the previous year’s figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would 64 a major n e w obstacle in the criminal’s w a y by making such thefts pointless. A group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the 65 expects.
