Traffic speed enforcement based on wireless phone network

Abstract

The present invention includes systems and methods for detecting a speed limit violation based on the movement of a cell phone in a moving vehicle. The system and method determine whether a speeding violation has occurred based periodic cell phone location data, the time between a cell phone's presence at one location and the next, and the speed limit of the section of a section of road that the cell phone could be located on. Embodiments of systems and methods of the invention detect whether a moving vehicle may be part of a public transit system, in which case the corresponding cell phones are removed from consideration. The system and method also include generating a speeding ticket for a car determined to have violated a corresponding speed limit, keeping a record of a speeding violation, and sending a request to settle the ticket if it is not paid on time. Also included in the invention are embodiments of systems and methods that detect whether a cell phone moving in a car is in engaged in a call, and if so, generating a ticket for a driving-while-talking violation.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is a way to use data collected from mobile devices (cellphones) in cars to track their movement and determine if they are going too fast or slow. This can help identify areas where there may be more accidents by analyzing patterns of driving behavior.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is how to develop a system that automatically identifies and tracks the speed of vehicles driving on public streets without requiring human officers to handle the cases. Existing sensor-based systems use either cameras or radar to monitor vehicle speed, but they often struggle with accuracy due to factors like weather conditions and limited field of view. Additionally, some existing solutions rely on GPS navigation technology, while others involve analyzing the movement patterns of cells in the vehicle's license plate.
