First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driver alert system comprising:
- a) a receiver for a global position system (GPS), said GPS system being adapted to determine an instantaneous real-time location of a motor vehicle;
b) a remote server comprising;
i. a database configured to store map data, traffic regulation data, and position data within a predetermined geographical area;
ii. a transceiver configured to receive the instantaneous real-time location from the GPS receiver for each of a plurality of motor vehicles to transmit an alert signal to the plurality of motor vehicles; and
iii. a processing device is configured to receive said location data of the motor vehicles from said transceiver;
c) a transceiver within said vehicle and in communication with said GPS receiver, for transmitting said location data to said server and for receiving said alert signal generated by said processing device; and
d) an alert generator within said vehicle in communication with said vehicle transceiver, for outputting an alert to the driver of said vehicle in response to receiving said alert signal.

20. A transportation authority monitoring system comprising:
-
a) a transmitter within vehicle located within a predetermined geographical area, each transmitter being in communication with a GPS receiver and adapted to transmit data sensed by said GPS receiver; b) a regional transceiver positioned within said predetermined geographical area for receiving the data transmitted by each of said transmitters and for transmitting said received data to a monitoring center transceiver; c) a server comprising; i. a database in which are stored map data, traffic regulation data, and position data within said predetermined geographical area; ii. a transceiver configured to receive the instantaneous real-time location of each of a plurality of motor vehicles from said regional transceiver; and iii. a processing device suitable for receiving said location data of a motor vehicle from said transceiver, for determining an instantaneous state of said vehicle; d) a display of said predetermined geographical area on which is displayed the instantaneous state of each motor vehicle being superimposed on said stored map data; and e) an alert configured to output an alert signal, when said processing device determines that a driver has committed, or is about to commit, a driving or parking violation, or that the instantaneous state is liable to result in damage to a vehicle or to a person.
