Abstract
Vehicle safety monitoring utilizes a wireless connection for transmitting signals collected in a controlled site in real time to a display in a control station. The wireless connection operates via an Earth-orbiting satellite and utilizes computers for processing the collected signals and converting them first into a wireless signal and then to an audio/video signal suitable for receiving by a television, video-recording unit or a computer monitor. The controlled vehicle is equipped with a plurality of detecting cameras mounted inside and outside of the vehicle to provide real-time information about activities taking place in and around the vehicle.
