Acceptability of Functional Radio Frequency Anti-Theft Vehicle Immobilizer

Abstract:

This study attempted to develop and evaluate a Radio Frequency (RF) Anti-Theft Vehicle Immobilizer for the students and instructors of Marikina Polytechnic College and light vehicle owners of Marikina City. The researcher used a descriptive method of research to develop the device. It involves ninety-five (95) respondents grouped into three and selected using purposive random sampling. The device is evaluated using the researcher’s made questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. The data gathered were statistically treated using weighted mean and one-factor ANOVA at 0.01 level of significance. There are no significant differences in the evaluations as perceived by the three groups of respondents in terms of Usefulness, Functionality, Safety, and Maintenance. They differ in their perceptions in terms of durability design and economy. In general, the device is a lifesaver and very useful to the owner of the vehicle; promotes safety and security; the wiring was properly installed and constructed adapted to e then modern technology; has a cheap price; can be used by car companies. The suggestions were the creation of a manual for those who will use the device making the device smaller; doors should automatically block aftercare the vehicle stop and berated
