Abstract
A distributed individual vehicle information capture method for capturing individual vehicle data at traffic intersections and transmitting the data to a central station for storage and processing is provided. The method includes capturing individual vehicle information at a plurality of intersections (122) and transmitting the individual vehicle information from the intersections to a central station (124). Consequently, the individual vehicle information is available to be stored and processed by a device at the central station (126). Traffic intersection equipment for capturing individual vehicle data at traffic intersections and transmitting the data to a central station for storage and processing is also disclosed. The equipment includes a traffic detection device (159) for capturing individual vehicle data at an intersection (158) and a network connection to a central station (174). The traffic detection device (159) is operably configured to transmit to the central station (174) the individual vehicle information.

21. A method comprising:
-
receiving information related to an individual vehicle at a remote detection zone by a processor at a central station, where the individual vehicle is associated with the first remote detection zone, and the first remote detection zone is one of a plurality of remote detection zones from each of which information related to individual vehicles is received at the central station scheduling the capture at of least one vehicle image at the first remote detection zone by the processor at the central station based on the information related to the individual vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
