The paper discusses modern methods of security and location, monitoring the status and selected parameters of motor vehicles. It presents legal acts – UN ECE regulations and EU directives, the requirements of which must be met by electrical and electronic equipment before it is introduced to commercial distribution or installed in a motor vehicle. Selected results of homologation tests for compliance with UN ECE regulations No. 10 and 97 are included.Many large companies and practically all corporations own their own vehicle fleets. Companies, wanting to increase their efficiency and reduce costs, are eager to install various types of vehicle status monitoring, location, and satellite navigation systems in their vehicles, which cooperate with or constitute independent systems protecting against unauthorized use. Cars have never belonged to the group of cheap products – they were and are expensive, and therefore they are in the group of interests of those who covet other people’s property. The market offer of security devices is very rich. Starting from the simplest, i.e., various types of mechanical security: all kinds of bars connecting the steering wheel with the clutch pedal, padlocks, to more complex solutions such as commonly used car alarms, immobilizers, and monitoring systems using radio technology
GPS and GSM, and including: location, navigation, protection, control, etc.
The development of electronics, computer science, and modern telecommunications solutions has resulted in the creation of integrated security systems. The combination of GPS techniques with GSM/GPRS communication has become a breakthrough moment in vehicle security technology. (…)
