Abstract

A system for determining the location of at least one vehicle, the at least on vehicle emitting a detectable signal. The system comprising at least one mobile or stationary detection device that detects the signal emitted by the at least one vehicle. A server with operational software for tracking and locating the at least one vehicle emitting a detectable signal, and a user interface device for interfacing with the network for providing location information on the at least one vehicle.

Claims

1. A stationary detection device that detects a signal emitted by a vehicle;

wherein the signal is a radio frequency signal;

the device being connected to a network for the determination and communication of location information regarding the vehicle emitting the radio signal.

2. The detection device of claim 1, wherein the detection device comprises an RF sensor, at least one RF switch, an RF antenna, at least one RF filter, an RF tuner, an analog to digital converter, an digital signal processor, a central processing unit, flash memory, random access memory, a GPS block, GPS antenna, a power supply, means for connection to a location network, a signal detection indicator, an RF spectrum analyzer, a radio frequency electromagnetic energy detector, a radio scanner, a two-way radio apparatus;

and, a radar detector.

3. A mobile detection device that detects a signal emitted by a vehicle, such as an emergency vehicle;

wherein the signal emitted by the vehicle is a radio frequency signal;

the mobile detection device being linked to a network for determination and communication of location information regarding the vehicle emitting the radio frequency signal.

4. The detection device of claim 3, wherein the device comprises an RF sensor, one or more of an RF switches, an RF antenna, RF filter, an RF tuner, an analog to digital converter, an digital signal processor, a central processing unit, flash memory, random access memory, a GPS antenna connection, GPS antenna, a power supply, a network connection, a signal detection indicator, an RF spectrum analyzer, a radio electromagnetic energy detector, radio scanner, two-way radio apparatus;

and a radar detector.

5. A network for determining the location of at least one vehicle;

the network comprising at least one mobile detection device that detects a signal emitted by the at least one vehicle;

wherein the signal emitted by the at least one vehicle is a radio frequency signal;

a server with operational software for tracking and locating the at least one vehicle emitting a radio frequency signal and a user interface device, wherein said components being in communication with one another over the network.

6. The user interface of claim 5, wherein the user interface device is cell phone.

7. The user interface of claim 6, wherein the user interface device combines a cell phone with a radio frequency signal detector.
