The present invention relates generally to a trailer that can be stored compactly for transport to and from tailgating events. The custom tailgating and team entertainment trailer can be transported to a sporting event where tailgating is promoted, or hauled behind the family car to a children's team event. The customized trailer is formed from a steel frame shaped similar to a conventional 4×6 utility trailer upon which various kitchen equipment and appliance are supported and provides a 2000 pound gross vehicle weight rating for easy mobility and towing from a standard 1⅞″ hitch ball. A flat upper panel encloses the equipment when stored, and provides a horizontal support surface when deployed. A event grill is rollably deployed from behind a door on the trailers first side and, when extended, provides a five foot wide, four burner grilling surface provided with cooking fuel from pair of LP propane tanks mounted to a tank rack positioned for easy accessability and control at the trailer's front end. The rear of the trailer supports a double rear access door to allow for access and egress to the substantial enclosed storage area within, including a roll-out shelf for supporting ample other portable equipment, and a bin storage door mounted the trailers second side provides access to a rolling, two tier wire pull drawer for additional food storage adjacent to a prep tray door from which can be deployed a stainless steel, slide out preparation table.

A method and system for managing driving patterns by charging a variable incentive and / or disincentive based on individual driving behaviors. Distances detected between a vehicle and other vehicles are detected within a time period. N tailgating incidents are identified based on the detected distances being less than a threshold value for distance. A variable toll is determined by evaluating a function of a base amount and N. The driver of the vehicle is charged the variable toll. Charging the variable toll provides an incentive to the driver to encourage driving that does not include tailgating or a disincentive to the driver to deter tailgating.

A system and method of identifying the occurrence of modifiable use conditions related to the safe use of fleet vehicles is described. Modifiable use conditions, such as the speed at which the vehicle is drive, tailgating and an excessive number of lane changes, represent opportunities to reduce unsafe uses of the vehicle. Modifiable use conditions are identified and the occurrence of such use conditions is determined. A user-defined statistical metric for the fleet, or a portion of the fleet, can be determined for each of the modifiable use conditions evaluated. The occurrence of modifiable use conditions related to safety of an individual vehicle, or a group of vehicles, can be compared with a larger group of vehicle, or the fleet, to determine vehicles which correspond to a metric of the fleet. Fleet managers can use this information to modify the use conditions of individual or group of vehicles to provide fuel savings for the fleet.

A controller for an elevator which can detect tailgating using a low-cost configuration and perform proper operation upon detection of tailgating. For this purpose, an ID checking device, a noncontacttype door sensor for detecting a user getting on a cage, and a weighing scale detection means for detecting a user in accordance with the deadweight of a cage are provided on the elevator. When use of the elevator by an identified person is detected by the ID checking device and when it is detected by both the noncontact type door sensor and the weighing scale detection means that a suspicious individual gets on a cage together with the identified person, it is judged that tailgating takes place. In the event of occurrence of tailgating, the controller controls the elevator to perform the specified operation for eliminating tailgating and for notifying occurrence of tailgating to the outside.

The invention discloses a pre-warning device for preventing tailgating. The pre-warning device comprises a first shell, a detecting probe and a control device, wherein the first shell is disposed at the tail of a vehicle, the detecting probe is disposed on the first shell, the head of the detecting probe faces to the rear of the vehicle, the control device is disposed in the first shell, the input end of the control device is connected with the detecting probe and a power supply, and the output end of the control device is connected with an indicating device. The indicating device comprises a second shell disposed on a handlebar and three indicator lamps disposed on the second shell. The indicator lamps are connected with the first output end of the control device. The three indicator lamps respectively and correspondingly indicates vehicles from the left rear, the rear and the right rear. By the pre-warning device, conditions such as speed and distance of rear vehicles coming close can be detected, corresponding pre-warning signals can be given out if safety threat exists, a rider is allowed to avoid the rear vehicles timely, and accidents can be avoided.

The invention provides a path guide method and a path guide device capable of avoiding tailgating as well as a vehicle intelligent driving assistance system. The method comprises the following steps:acquiring the relative motion state of the current vehicle as well as the current vehicle and the nearby vehicles, wherein the relative motion state comprises relative speed and relative distance, andthe nearby vehicles are front vehicles, left lane back vehicles and right lane back vehicles; according to the relative motion state of the current vehicle and the front vehicles, judging whether tailgating risk exists in the current vehicle or not; and if a tailgating risk exists in the current vehicle, generating path guide information according to the relative motion state of the current vehicle, the left lane back vehicles and the right lane back vehicles to guide the vehicle to avoid tailgating. Reasonable lane change information is recommended according to the road vehicle state under the condition that the tailgating risk exists in the vehicle, and a driver can be guided to perform lane change safely and effectively, so that the tailgating risk is avoided.

A system and method for determining tailgating of users in a frictionless access control system are disclosed. The access control system includes a positioning unit that tracks locations of users carrying user devices relative to an access point of a premises, where the user devices transmit user information identifying the users via wireless signals. The access control system then determines whether the users are authorized to pass through the access point based on the wireless signals from the user devices and determines whether non-authorized users are tailgating through the access point with authorized users. In embodiments, the system can also determine tailgating of the users in response to analyzing video data of a scene including the users, where the video data is generated by a video camera positioned to capture the users when the users are within the threshold area.

The invention discloses a vehicle compound rear bumper based on a negative poisson ratio structure. The vehicle compound rear bumper includes a rear anti-collision beam, a front anti-collision beam and an energy absorbing inner core. The front anti-collision beam and the rear anti-collision beam are connected in a matched mode to form a shell body containing the energy absorbing inner core. A compound energy absorbing inner core is obtained by a plurality of composite cell arrays with identical structures, and each of the composite cells comprises a negative poisson ratio single cell structureand a regular hexagon honeycomb structure. The rear anti-collision beam and the front anti-collision beam form a shell body with a radian through welding, and the compound energy absorbing inner coreis installed in the shell body. The vehicle compound rear bumper has good energy absorption performance duringuse, and when the vehicle is tailgated and collided, the collision energy can be effectively absorbed, the damage to an occupant from the tailgating and collision can be reduced, and the passive safety performance of the vehicle can be improved through the own stable deformation of the vehicle compound rear bumper.
