A WHEEL CHOCK SYSTEM

The invention relates to a wheel chock system. In one aspect of the invention, an actuator is configured to move a pair of wheel chocks to an activated position in which motion of the wheel is prevented. A control unit controls the actuator and, based upon determination that a plurality of predefined conditions are met, the control unit may after having received an operator-initiated activation request, cause the actuator to move the wheel chocks from the inactivated position to the activated position. In another aspect of the invention, the actuator comprises a bi-directional motor and a gear mechanism, for moving the wheel chocks to the activated position. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a wheel chock system.
