Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle violation detection technologies face challenges in effectively monitoring and determining violations such as illegal parking, speeding, and wrong-way driving without relying on speed measurement sensors, which limits their accuracy and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle violation detection method and system that acquires multiple frames of images to detect and track vehicles, determines vehicle speed based on image coordinates and physical size, and performs violation determination by analyzing speed information, location, and time thresholds, without the need for speed sensors, using a processor and memory-based computer program to implement the detection and tracking.
