System and method for detecting driving against road traffic regulation

Abstract

A vehicle detection method and system for detecting traffic violations is disclosed which has two camera systems (14 and 16) spaced apart from one another. Each system includes multiple cameras (14a, 14b and 16a, 16b) for monitoring the lanes of the roadway. Vehicles are detected by the camera systems (14, 16) and the lanes in which the vehicles are travelling and / or the order of the vehicles is determined by image analysis to identify the vehicles so that illegal lane changes or illegal overtaking can be determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for detecting road traffic violations. Background technique [0002] A major cause of traffic accidents is the behavior of sudden lane changes. To improve traffic safety, traffic planners and regulators have identified areas that need attention, for example, near traffic junctions, bridge crossings or tunnel crossings, and freeway entry and exit areas. The act of changing lanes in these areas is usually regulated by line markings on the road, such as double white lines, to indicate to drivers that lane changing is illegal in these regulated areas. [0003] Unlike the supervision of other traffic violations (such as speeding and red light violations, which mainly rely on automated supervision methods), the supervision of illegal lane-changing behaviors has always relied on patrol officers such as police officers to detect them visually. [0004] Although technology exists to detect red light violations and ...

Problems solved by technology

However, existing traffic violation systems are insufficient to adequately provide an automated regulatory approach to areas where illegal lane-changing maneuvers may occur
