Abstract
A control apparatus consisting of various componentry that are included together in a single, self-contained casing, the control apparatus for providing real time control of machinery and vehicles. The control apparatus includes a casing that defines a storage area therein. An integration card is positioned within the storage area, the integration card including a plurality of management ports. The control apparatus includes a computer processor, a GPS card, a radio card, and an LED light board that are in direct communication with the integration card. The control apparatus further includes a Wi-Fi card and a display screen that are in direct communication with the computer processor of the apparatus. A power surge protector is connected directly to the computer processor and the integration card.
Claims18
