JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (MMD Newswire) November 24, 2010 -- Makor Company, an optimization solutions provider, has developed a system (US patent 7,801,512 ) for automatic real time detection of traffic speed violations based on wireless phone network for detecting a precise speed of the moving vehicle, comparing the received speed with the speed limit for the certain segment of road, determining if the vehicle is moving over the maximal speed limit and generating speeding violation ticket to the owner of the vehicle.
The system utilizes a cell phone network in which the location data obtained from moving vehicles is collected continuously and input into the system. Technologically, this may be achieved by measuring the distances the signals traveling between a moving wireless phone and a fixed set of base stations, and the times these signals take to travel. This information may then be applied to mathematical and statistical methods to solve the resulting equations. signals obtained from vehicular-based cellular phones provide speed information on moving vehicles, are input into a Moving Vehicle Speed Detection system, and they are stored into the system database to provide speed information that is stored in the form of records.
The system eliminates the need for developing a dedicated mobile wireless information gathering fleet and other high cost devices requiring large capital investments and considerable work force. The need to this automatic method arises from the fact that traffic violation enforcement typically has been and is an increasingly costly and labor-intensive. Over the years, devices have been introduced to improve the detection, documentation, and prosecution of traffic violations. Recently, a number of unmanned camera-based and radar-based systems for detection and documentation of speeding have been installed. However, all the devices and processes still require police personnel attention to process each traffic violation and is time and money consuming.
