Solution

phone to track your vehicle in real time in the event of a theft.

How it works Uses GPS technology to remotely track your
vehicle in real time through a transmitter hidden in the vehicle.
P.A.T software tracks your vehicle and provides important information such as Vehicle speed Direction Provides police non-emergency numbers depending on
the location of the vehicle
In the event of a system failure, P.A.T can use radio frequency tracking as a backup to GPS

Potential Downfalls
CompititionOnstar and Lojack have been around for
awhile and are strong competitorsBoth have a solid client base

Vs. Vs. P.A.T
![Page 13: Matthew Ellis 1/31/2011CS410 Blue Team1. Outline What is the problem? Societal Impact Solution How it works Market Competition Why P.A.T?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649da95503460f94a966af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conclusion While P.A.T isn’t a new
idea, it solves the short falls of other tracking services in a way that is cost effective and reliable.
By letting the owner track his/her vehicle as well as police, the owner isn’t left at home guessing if the police are making progress toward recovery.
Can lead to the recovery of that one car or truck that holds that special place in your heart.
