Mobile traffic violation detection, recording and evidence processing system
First Claim
1. A mobile traffic violation detecting system, comprising:
- a mobile imaging unit including a plurality of video cameras housed in a unit and attached to a vehicle, an interior module comprising a computer storage device, a user-input device for allowing a vehicle operator to designate a time and date of a visually-observed potential traffic infraction, and a computer programmed with software configured to compile a plurality of said designations into a list of potential infractions;
a data vault for securely storing said list of potential infractions and video from each of said multiple video cameras;
a processor client application comprising software configured to present a first user interface for allowing a third party to review each potential infraction on said list of potential infractions and correlated video stored in said data vault and to designate a subset of apparent violations therefrom, and a web-based client application comprising software configured to present a second user interface for allowing authorized law enforcement officials to review said subset of apparent violations and generate traffic citations therefrom.

Abstract
A system and method for traffic violation detection using a mobile vehicle-mounted unit (20) with multiple imaging cameras (32-37), for recording and processing as evidence. The mobile unit (20) includes a monitoring device (60) that stores videos locally on a hard drive (62), and an input device (65) by which the operator flags potential infractions observed visually and compile a potential infraction log including links to relevant video frames, date and time, and geolocation. At the end of the operator'"'"'s shift, the infraction log and videos are uploaded to a data vault (80) for video screening of the potential infractions by a desk operator who compiles a listing of apparent infractions inclusive of time/date, location, violation type, vehicle plates, and a URL link to the data vault (80). This listing is transmitted to police (52) running a web application (55) who can double-check and verify suspected infractions and directly compose a traffic citation.
