Steering wheel lock

An oldie but goldie - the simple car anti theft lock is one of the most effective options
available to all drivers. They are made to block thieves from being able to turn your wheel
after they have broken into your car, thus rendering them
ompletely useless.
his particular option is a fantastic example of how a simple yet inexpensive addition to your
car can help to deter unwanted attention. Made with solid steel and therefore extremely tough
to break, this steering wheel lock will -nsure that even saws can't break through the tough anti
theft car lock. It also has the benefit of being designed ith high visibility colors, to deter
thieves further, since they will have an added obstacle to their action
2. GPS tracker
With this handy little anti theft device, however, you can actually track down and possible
even retrieve your vehicle, without the thief ever knowing that you're on your way.
This anti theft car GPS works by pinpointing exactly where your car is, as well as where it
has been. Small enough to easily fit anywhere you feel appropriate in your car, yet powerful
enough to help investigators know the exact location of your car's whereabouts, this is the
best anti-theft system for cars available, right now.
3.Brake pedal lock

A great option that is sure to put off even the most determined thief, this brake pedal security
lock works by stopping the brake pedal from being accessible. Even so, the material of this
anti theft car device is made from an electrically heat-treated, tempered steel which resists
cuts, saws, hammers and bends without issue.
There are three keys which come with each purchase, that cannot be duplicated. Thus, the
only real issue with this item is that you will need to get down and dirty when it comes to
locking and unlocking your brake lock. This can be a real pain if you travel daily so, if you
think you will get annoyed by this, it might be best to look into one of our other options.
4. wheel lock

A great, heavy-duty option that works as a visual deterrent for thieves, this wheel clamp can
fit most wheel sizes -although there have been some complaints about larger tires and SUV's
being a little too wide for this wheel clamp. It is highly visible, which means that thieves
would realize the extra effort required to free their prize and therefore immediately be put off
from their crime, too.
There's a one-year guarantee with this item, which is especially helpful as the entire anti theft
device is open to the elements and therefore more likely to rust or wear out. However, it is
very easy to unlock with a set of keys - just be aware that you may need to get on the floor
every time you use this.
5.custom automotive kill switch
Another cheaper option that is possible the most secure of all, this kill switch kit will stop
thieves in their tracks, literally. These work by stopping the electrical current that runs from
your ignition, into the most vital parts of the car, such as the fuel pump. Working only when
the correct key isn't used, this system can stop your car from being stolen without the need
for expensive additions or visible deterrents.
With no damage to your car or engine with this option, this kill switch works on almost any
vehicle without the need for electrical or mechanical experience. There are many easy how-to
guides that are easy to follow, although if you are nervous with these types of experiences, it
might be worth getting a mechanic to install it, for your peace of mind.
6. dash cam
If we try to keep our house safe with cameras, why don't we shouldn't we keep our car as
well? This dashcam records 1080p videos, and it provides clear and crisp footage even in
dark night conditions.

It's not just a camera, but also a crime detector with its G-sensors. It records all sudden events
such as theft, broken windows, etc. The front cam can be swiveled 360° to see all over the

19. Microdot antitheft thechnology:-

‘MicroDot’ is a very effective technology that can be used for the marking of whole vehicle
body. It involves spraying of millions of very small laser dots etched with the ‘Vehicle
Identification Number’ (VIN) throughout the body of the vehicle.
These polymer dots, which are less than even 1 mm in size, are very difficult to detect with
the naked eye and can be seen only through a microscope under the ultraviolet or black light.
MicroDot technology is a state-of-the-art identification system that can act as a robust anti-
theft security system for vehicles around the world. It involves the diffusion of polyster
substrate dots containing the unique information related to the identification of the car or two-
wheeler.
Most of the auto manufacturers have started using this technology to mark the vehicle body
with a unique VIN in order to enhance its security. These micro dots can be added to the
vehicle even after its purchase, the only difference being the aftermarket system will use the
owner’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) rather than the vehicle’s VIN.
These dots, once spattered uniformly over the vehicle body, are almost impossible to remove
completely as they are less than even 1 mm in diameter. It means that in case a vehicle gets
lost or stolen, the police authorities can easily trace and identify it by scanning the
information stored in these micro dots present on the vehicle body.
Vehicle safety devices and technologies

1. preventive technologies for driver drowsiness:-

To prevent or account for drowsiness while driving, many companies have researched
technologies to either detect drowsiness and protect the driver or keep the driver awake. One
technology that aims to keep drivers awake is blue light. Blue light strains the eyes, making it
difficult to fall asleep while driving, and it may be contained in all interior lights,
touchscreens, clocks, and lights illuminating the speedometer and gas meter. Another
preventative technology, designed to detect drowsiness, works by using data from lane
departure sensors to identify jerky movements or swerving in and out of lanes. Once
received, a coffee symbol on the dashboard will illuminate or a verbal response will sound to
alert the driver that they should take a break. The driver's seat can also vibrate to startle them
in the hopes that they become more alert. Both of these technologies are not yet perfect and
are often faulty in detecting drowsiness. Other technologies are also being developed,
including the flashing of bright lights containing blue light to keep drivers awake, along with
steering technology that can correct for driver error while swerving due to drowsiness. Other
technology seeks to prevent accidents from occurring by analysing driver behaviour.
Companies such as Safe Mode operate by analysing driver behaviour for "safety events",
such as hard accelerations or breaking. If a driver decreases the amount of times they record a
safety event month after month, they earn incentives, ultimately making the road safer for all
drivers.
2. Electronic stability control (ESC)
Electronic stability control (also known as roll over protection) is a specific technology that
helps keep the vehicle balanced. During harsh weather or tough road conditions that would
cause vehicle steering to be extreme, this technology allows the drivers to regain control and
prevent possible crashes, roll overs, and fishtails. This is the system which allows drivers to
exit hydroplanes safely. In combination with automatic emergency braking technologies (see
below), ESC controls each wheel individually to allow the driver to steer in the intended
direction. To do this, ESC technologies apply singular breaks to all the wheels individually,
slowing each one to the intended speed of the rest. Electronic stability control does not give
traction to the vehicle; rather, it provides balance and momentary steering control.
3. Automatic and emergency braking
There are four different and diverse automatic and emergency braking technologies. They
include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Crash Imminent Braking, Dynamic Brake
Support, and Pedestrian Emergency Braking. These collision avoidance technologies detect
vehicles in front of the car and automatically brake if a crash is detected. Before making any
decisions on their own, AEB systems alert the driver of the suspected crash and allow a
chance for the driver to take action. If the driver does not acknowledge the alert, AEB
technology will then apply the brakes in hopes of avoiding or lessening the severity of a
crash. Dynamic brake support is a technology which supplements the driver's brake if it is not
hard enough already. As for crash imminent braking, this system automatically applies the
brakes to avoid a crash. Drivers do not need to apply the brakes for the crash imminent
system to engage. Pedestrian emergency braking systems sense pedestrians in front or near
the car and will apply the brakes if drivers make no move to do so. This technology uses the
front facing radar sensors and cameras to detect pedestrians, then apply the brakes in hopes of
avoiding a collision. These systems have been available on a wide range of vehicles since
2006. Due to their growth in popularity, prices to add these systems to new vehicles have
dropped and they are inexpensive to install. However they are quite pricey to fix due to the
resolution and grade of cameras and sensors.
4. Blind spot monitoring
The vehicle blind spot is an area outside the vehicle which cannot be seen by the driver from
the driver's seat. Each person will have a different blind spot, and cannot see other cars within
that area. To reduce the occurrence of crashes related to blind spots, numerous companies
have developed technologies that alert drivers to other cars near their vehicle. These
technologies also have the ability to detect which side other vehicles are approaching from.
Vehicles with blind spot monitoring employ radar sensors and cameras positioned all around
the exterior which warn drivers of the movement and presence of other vehicles in their
surroundings. To alert the driver, blind spot monitoring systems will use one or more of
warning sounds, seat vibration, and illuminated warning symbols, usually located on the
outside of the vehicle's side mirrors on the side where a vehicle is present. Noises may also
sound if the driver engages the turn signal when there is a vehicle in the blind spot area. Blind
spot monitoring technologies are equipped on most luxury vehicles and in recently produced
vehicles. There are packages present to add blind spot monitoring to vehicles at the time of
purchase. One inherent weakness of many of these systems is that they struggle to detect fast
moving cars, motorcycles, or low riding cars.
5. Lane departure warnings
Lane departure warning systems are technologies that employ underside and wheel well
cameras to detect when a wheel has unintentionally crossed a lane line without a turn signal.
These systems were created in order to prevent lane swerving and possible driver drowsiness
accidents. To alert the driver of a lane departure, systems can do employ one or more of a
seat vibration, the illumination of a warning signal, and warning sounds (either a small sound
or a verbal warning from system technologies. These systems do not alert the driver of a lane
departure if a turn signal is used. These systems intend to prevent crashes and drowsiness by
reducing the number of times a lane switch occurs without the use of a turn signal. Lane
departure systems can be disabled so that no alert will occur, but it is recommended that a
dealer make this change to prevent damage to the system.
6. Speed monitoring and warning systems
Speed warning systems are designed to alert the driver of the vehicle when they have
exceeded the speed limit. To do this, GPS technologies are used to triangulate the vehicle's
location; along with a record of speed limits in the area, the system uses built-in speed
sensors to notify the driver when they exceed the speed limit. If the list of speed limits is
updated, it can also track school and work zone speed limit changes that would otherwise go
unnoticed by the driver. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, any of the following can
occur: a small ding will sound, the speed reading will turn red if the odometer is digital, an
icon will light up and a ding will sound, or the vehicle will give a verbal response alerting the
driver of their speed and to slow down. One speed monitoring technology which is
undergoing testing in the US and Europe is called intelligent speed adaptation, which would
assess the speed of the vehicle, and with the permission from the driver, automatically slow
the vehicle down to the proper legal speed. If implemented, though, drivers would be able to
override this system or turn it off entirely. However, these technologies keep drivers safe
from distractions which would otherwise result in a speeding ticket or a car accident.
7. Anti-lock braking system
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and
on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses.[1] ABS operates by preventing
the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road
surface. ABS is an automated system that uses the principles of threshold
braking and cadence braking, techniques which were once practiced by skillful drivers before
ABS was widespread. ABS operates at a much faster rate and more effectively than most
drivers could manage. Although ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and
decreases stopping distances on dry and some slippery surfaces, on loose gravel or snow-
covered surfaces ABS may significantly increase braking distance, while still improving
steering control.
8. Electronic brakeforce distribution
Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD or EBFD) or electronic brakeforce limitation (EBL)
is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to
each of a vehicle's wheels, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc. Always coupled
with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), EBD can apply more or less braking pressure to each
wheel in order to maximize stopping power whilst maintaining vehicular control. Typically,
the front end carries the most weight and EBD distributes less braking pressure to the rear
brakes so the rear brakes do not lock up and cause a skid. In some systems, EBD distributes
more braking pressure at the rear brakes during initial brake application before the effects
of weight transfer become apparent.
"The job of the EBD as a subsystem of the ABS system is to control the effective adhesion
utilization by the rear wheels. The pressure of the rear wheels are approximated to the ideal
brake force distribution in a partial braking operation. To do so, the conventional brake
design is modified in the direction of rear axle overbraking, and the components of the ABS
are used. EBD reduces the strain on the hydraulic brake force proportioning valve in the
vehicle. EBD optimizes the brake design with regard to: adhesion utilization; driving
stability; wear; temperature stress; and pedal force."
EBD may work in conjunction with ABS[6] and electronic stability control (ESC) to minimize
yaw accelerations during turns. ESC compares the steering wheel angle to vehicle turning
rate using a yaw rate sensor. "Yaw" is the vehicle's rotation around its vertical center of
gravity (turning left or right). If the yaw sensor detects more/less yaw than the steering wheel
angle should create, the car is understeering or oversteering and ESC activates one of the
front or rear brakes to rotate the car back onto its intended course. For example, if a car is
making a left turn and begins to understeer (the car plows forward to the outside of the turn)
ESC activates the left rear brake, which will help turn the car left. The sensors are so
sensitive, and the actuation is so quick that the system may correct direction before the driver
reacts. ABS helps prevent wheel lock-up and EBD helps apply appropriate brake force to
make ESC work effectively and easily.
 9. Traction control system
The basic idea behind the need for a traction control system is the loss of road grip that
compromises steering control and stability of vehicles because of the difference in traction of
the drive wheels. Difference in slip may occur due to turning of a vehicle or varying road
conditions for different wheels. When a car turns, its outer and inner wheels rotate at different
speeds; this is conventionally controlled by using a differential. A further enhancement of the
differential is to employ an active differential that can vary the amount of power being
delivered to outer and inner wheels as needed. For example, if outward slip is sensed while
turning, the active differential may deliver more power to the outer wheel in order to
minimize the yaw (essentially the degree to which the front and rear wheels of a car are out of
line.) Active differential, in turn, is controlled by an assembly of electromechanical sensors
collaborating with a traction control unit.
When the traction control computer (often incorporated into another control unit, such as the
ABS module) detects one or more driven wheels spinning significantly faster than another, it
invokes the ABS electronic control unit to apply brake friction to wheels spinning with
lessened traction. Braking action on slipping wheel(s) will cause power transfer to wheel
axle(s) with traction due to the mechanical action within the differential. All-wheel
drive (AWD) vehicles often have an electronically controlled coupling system in the transfer
case or transaxle engaged (active part-time AWD), or locked-up tighter (in a true full-time set
up driving all wheels with some power all the time) to supply non-slipping wheels with
torque.
This often occurs in conjunction with the powertrain computer reducing available engine
torque by electronically limiting throttle application and/or fuel delivery, retarding ignition
spark, completely shutting down engine cylinders, and a number of other methods, depending
on the vehicle and how much technology is used to control the engine and transmission.
There are instances when traction control is undesirable, such as trying to get a vehicle
unstuck in snow or mud. Allowing one wheel to spin can propel a vehicle forward enough to
get it unstuck, whereas both wheels applying a limited amount of power will not produce the
same effect. Many vehicles have a traction control shut-off switch for such circumstances.
10. Secondary safety systems
airbags - whose placement can range from only in the dashboard, to the knee well, the door
pillar. Curtain airbags (an airbag that inflates and covers the side windows) can help reduce
injuries in rollover and side impact crashes if they stay inflated for a slightly longer time than
normal.
seatbelts - seatbelts stop people being thrown out of a crashed vehicle and from hitting some
parts of the interior when they are thrown forward. Some seatbelts can be adjusted so that the
shoulder strap is at the correct height for the person in the seat.
seatbelt reminders - are a simple safety feature designed to remind people in the vehicle to
put on their seatbelt. They can vary from being a reminder symbol that lights up to being an
audible tone that continues until every person in the vehicle has put on their seatbelt.
head protection with soft material in headrest and vehicle side pillar - where possible softer
material that will absorb the impact of a person’s head is used in places where it could impact
with the interior of the vehicle during a crash.
adjustable mirrors - help the driver monitor what is happening and make it safer to change
lanes if they are correctly adjusted.
