SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIOLATION ENFORCEMENT UTILIZING VEHICLE IMMOBILIZATION
First Claim
1. A system for violation enforcement utilizing vehicle immobilization, comprising:
- a database configured to store identifying information for a plurality of target vehicles subject to immobilization;
a license plate recognition device configured identify a plurality of scanned vehicles and a geographic location associated with each scanned vehicle;
a data server configured to receive the data identifying the plurality of scanned vehicles and the geographic location associated with each scanned vehicle; and
an output processor in operative communication with the data server and the database configured to processed the received data and to compare the received data to the stored identifying information for the plurality of target vehicles,wherein the output processor is further configured to generate and transmit a notification to a recovery vehicle when identifying information for one or more target vehicles matches the identifying information for one or more scanned vehicles in the received data.

Abstract
A system for violation enforcement utilizing vehicle immobilization is provided. The system includes a database configured to store identifying information for a plurality of target vehicles subject to immobilization. The system includes a license plate recognition device configured identify a plurality of vehicles and a geographic locations associated with each vehicle. A data server receives the data identifying the plurality of vehicles and the plurality of geographic locations associated with each vehicle. An output processor is in operative communication with the data server and the database and is configured to process the received data and to compare the received data to the stored identifying information for the plurality of target vehicles. The output processor is further configured to generate and transmit a notification to a recovery vehicle when identifying information for one or more target vehicles matches the identifying information for one or more vehicles in the received data.
