Telematic method for real-time routing to stolen vehicles

摘要

A telematic system includes a first telematic unit incorporated within a stolen vehicle, a call center, and a second telematic unit incorporated with a police vehicle. The telematic system implements a method for real-time routing to the stolen vehicle. The method cyclically involves a determination of the GPS coordinates of the stolen vehicle and the police vehicle by the respective telematic unit, a calculation of a complete route from the police vehicle to the stolen vehicle, and a calculation of a partial route extending from the police vehicle to the stolen vehicle. The GPS coordinates of the stolen vehicle can be pushed to the police vehicle whereby the second telematic unit obtains the route calculations. Alternatively, the GPS coordinates of both the stolen vehicle and the police vehicle can be pushed to the call center whereby the call center performs the route calculations.
