A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle's mobility

Abstract

Methods (1300) and systems for controlling the mobility of a vehicle (102) are described. A vehicle controller (108), associated with the vehicle (102), receives a first command linked to a first unique code (318), via a first communication mode (112), to immobilize the vehicle (102) from a moving state. The vehicle controller (108) receives, via a second communication mode (114), a second command linked to a second unique code, to move the vehicle (102) from an immobilized state when the vehicle controller (108) disconnects from the first communication mode (112). The vehicle controller (108) causes the vehicle (102) to be immobilized.Once properly immobilized, the vehicle controller (108) stores the first unique code (318) in the vehicle controller (108), compares the second unique code with the first unique code (318) and causes the vehicle (102) to move when the second unique code matches the first unique code (318).
