| مستخلص: | An active brake locking system has one or more valves in communication with an existing hydraulic vehicle system; one or more actuators controlling operation of the one or more valves; and a power source electrically connected to one or more processors and a media storage device, wherein the one or more actuators control a flow of fluids within the existing vehicle system. |
| Inventors: | Frawley, Patrick Joseph (Balwyn, AU); Kirby, Steven James (The Basin, AU) |
| Claim: | 1. An active brake locking system adapted to be installed in an existing automotive vehicle, the system comprising: a. a valve assembly which is installed in-line with at least one hydraulic line of a hydraulic system of the vehicle, the valve assembly comprises at least a first flow valve and second check valve; b. at least one actuator for controlling the first flow valve; c. a power source electrically connected to the actuator and at least one processor and media storage device; and wherein: i. the first flow valve and the second check valve are disposed in parallel, so that in use when the first flow valve is open fluid may flow in both directions of the hydraulic line through the first flow valve, and when the actuator is actuated to close the first flow valve, the fluid is then restricted to flow in only one direction of the hydraulic line through the second check valve; ii. when the system is autonomously activated, at least one threshold value is stored within the media storage device, and when the at least one threshold value is breached, the system becomes engaged by actuation of the actuator to prevent the vehicle from moving; and iii. the at least one threshold value is related to the location of the vehicle provided by a GPS tracker fitted to the vehicle. |
| Claim: | 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic system is the brake hydraulic system, and when the actuator has actuated to close the first flow valve, the flow through the second check valve in a single direction allows for the brakes of the vehicle to prevent rotation of at least one wheel of the vehicle, and the brakes remain engaged so long as the first flow valve remains closed. |
| Claim: | 3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising wireless communication means operably connected to the processor and configured to communicate with a remote device, wherein the remote device selectively engages or disengages the active brake locking system. |
| Claim: | 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein an alert is provided to a remote device when the system is engaged. |
