Abstract
An invention is provided for mobile radar assisted traffic enforcement. In one embodiment, a traffic control vehicle is disclosed that includes a driving station capable of providing directional and speed control for the traffic control vehicle. The traffic control vehicle also includes a positioning system device, such as a GPS device, a radar system, and a camera system. Further included within the traffic control vehicle is at least one traffic monitoring station having a monitoring client, such as a laptop computer, in communication with the positioning system device, the radar system, and the camera system. The monitoring client displays a visual image of the target vehicle, the current speed of the target vehicle, and the current location of the traffic control vehicle. In addition, the monitoring client is in communication with a storage device capable of storing a record of the image of the target vehicle, the current speed of the target vehicle, and the current location of the traffic control vehicle. In this manner, the record can be utilized to issue traffic citations.
