Remote Vehicle Immobilization is used in fleet management and asset tracking that allows users to remotely disable a vehicle’s ignition in the case of theft or unauthorized use. It provides an additional layer of security and control, offering fleet managers with vital security and safety benefits: 

  • Immediate Action: Remotely immobilize a stolen vehicle in its tracks 
  • Vehicle Recovery: Improve chances of recovery stolen vehicles 
  • Safety and Compliance: Disable vehicles that may be malfunctioning or that have not been maintained or inspected 
  • Insurance: Vehicles with remote immobilizers may be eligible for lower insurance rates 
  • Critical Alerts: Fleet managers can be notified of vehicle details and location should unauthorized movement be detected 

 

How It Works: GPS Tracking Devices for Vehicle Immobilizer System

Digital Matter’s vehicle immobilizer and GPS tracking devices feature customizable switched ground digital outputs. These outputs can be wired to control a relay, and the relay will create a starter motor cut. This means when the output is activated, the vehicle cannot be started.

Remote Vehicle Immobilizer Configurations

There are several ways to activate and configure remote vehicle immobilization with Digital Matter GPS tracking devices: 

  • On-Demand: Remote vehicle disabling systems can be initialized manually using GPS Tracking Software 
  • Driver ID Validation: If Driver ID is also configured, vehicles will only start when a valid Driver ID tag is presented. Unregistered tags will not be able to start the vehicle. 

With an open and flexible payload structure, Digital Matter devices can be easily integrated into existing fleet monitoring systems, GPS tracking and IoT platforms, or ERPs. This allows Fleet Managers to deploy or go to market faster with the latest IoT fleet tracking technologies.

Secure Your Vehicles with GPS Tracking

Vehicle immobilization systems provide a variety of benefits to businesses and fleet owners. With the ability to install GPS tracking in vehicles, cars, and other motor-powered assets, businesses can ensure visibility and actively manage their fleets with vehicle tracking and disabling devices. Electronic vehicle immobilization devices offer anti-theft immobilizers for cars and other company or commercial vehicles. 

 

Remote Vehicle Immobilization

 

With the ability to track stolen vehicles, car GPS trackers and disablers expedite the process of retrieving lost or stolen assets, which can decrease expensive insurance premiums with the reinforced security of asset management and retrieval. 

The benefits of vehicle immobilizer systems for company cars include increased visibility of vehicles, insight into driver behaviors, data logging of your inventory’s location, and asset usage. The data collected from Digital Matter’s electronic immobilizers for cars offers the added benefit of security, plus digitally logged data can be leveraged to lower overall costs associated with inefficiencies, driver safety and behaviors, and regularly scheduled vehicle maintenance. 

 

Remote Immobilization for Rental Equipment

For rental equipment GPS tracking, rental periods can be charged by the hour or aligned with specific days or weeks. However, equipment may not be returned on time, and some customers may attempt to gain additional, unauthorized usage, leading to additional wear and tear. 

With a GPS tracker and immobilizer device installed, rental equipment can be remotely shut down, ensuring it is only used during the agreed-upon hire periods.
