Abstract

A vehicle speed enforcement method includes the steps of receiving and collecting, by a base station located in a detection zone, information about a target vehicle from a communication unit in the target vehicle, detecting a speed of the target vehicle through the collected information about the target vehicle, and setting the target vehicle as an overspeed vehicle when the speed of the target vehicle is faster than a reference limit speed at a point in time at which the target vehicle has entered the detection zone.

Claims

1. A vehicle speed enforcement method comprising the steps of:

receiving and collecting, by a base station located in a detection zone, information about a target vehicle from a communication unit in the target vehicle;

detecting a speed of the target vehicle through the collected information about the target vehicle; and

setting the target vehicle as an overspeed vehicle when the speed of the target vehicle is faster than a reference limit speed at a point in time at which the target vehicle has entered the detection zone.

2. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, wherein the step of setting the target vehicle as the overspeed vehicle includes capturing an image of the target vehicle using a photo system provided in the detection zone when the target vehicle has entered the detection zone.

3. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

delivering an overspeed warning to the target vehicle when the speed of the target vehicle is faster than the reference limit speed between the step of detecting the speed of the target vehicle and the step of setting the target vehicle as the overspeed vehicle.

4. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, wherein the step of receiving and collecting the information about the target vehicle includes receiving the information about the target vehicle in an auxiliary base station provided in a structure on a roadside of a non-detection zone and delivering the information to the base station when the target vehicle is outside a communication range of the non-detection zone.

5. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 4, wherein a plurality of structures are each provided with the auxiliary base station and located at fixed distances in the non-detection zone.

6. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, wherein the step of receiving and collecting the information about the target vehicle includes receiving the information about the target vehicle from a communication unit in a medium vehicle located at a communicable distance from the target vehicle and delivering the information to the base station when the target vehicle is located outside a communication range of a non-detection zone.

7. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 6, wherein the step of receiving and collecting the information about the target vehicle includes mutually delivering, by a plurality of medium vehicles, the information about the target vehicle in sequence and delivering the information to the base station.

8. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

storing the information about the target vehicle, after the step of setting the target vehicle as the overspeed vehicle.

9. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

transmitting the information about the target vehicle to another authority, after the step of setting the target vehicle as the overspeed vehicle.

10. The vehicle speed enforcement method according to claim 1, wherein the collecting step includes receiving and collecting the information about the target vehicle according to a wireless communication protocol between vehicles.
