| abstract |
This application describes devices (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) to reduce a vehicle's speed and/or reduce a machine's RPMs and/or stop any piece of equipment as well as guide it if mobile through automated controls (700). The devices (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) function to slow down, and guide and/or control if necessary, stop completely, and secure in a safe stationary position. Variations can be made to serve remote or automated controls to provide full robotic systems, automated transportation and manufacturing, either through individually isolated remote control systems and/or interfaced with other off-board systems through communication links, gateway computers, computer networks, and the world wide web for inexpensive long distance monitoring and remote control. The invention includes various accountable protocols and commercial developments to control speed, brake and steering for an automobile shut down to be performed through automation to a safe controlled secured deactivated state. |
