Many automobiles on the road today have a fuel pump shut off switch. The shut off switches that are currently built into automobiles are manual. These are mainly meant to be used as a theft prevention system. If the potential thief knows where the switch on a particular model is located, however, the fuel pump can be easily enabled. The system would be a simple switch that would bypass the fuel pump’s power supply. When the system is activated, the switch will open meaning no power can be supplied to the fuel pump. The system will be activated and de-activated remotely. This system will be designed with theft prevention in mind. The fuel pump can be shut off if the owner will be away from the car for a period of time, or can be engaged after the car has been stolen to prevent thieves from going any further. The system will be implemented using a unique bit combination for each automobile. This will prevent the accidental shut off of other nearby cars when a system is activated. The bit combination will be amplified and modulated before it is transmitted. Once transmitted, the signal will be received at the other end by a system that has been built into the fuel pump. The signal will then be demodulated, and compared to the combination that has been designated for that particular system. The incoming bit combination will be compared to the built in combination bit by bit. If there is no match, then no action will take place. If there is a match, then the switch bypassing the fuel pump’s power supply will either open or close depending on the signal received. |
