Method and apparatus for identifying through traffic
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying through traffic, the method comprising:
- sensing a position of a vehicle being sensed;
detecting entry into and exit from a predefined area based on the vehicle position;
ascertaining, by a processor, a time spent by the vehicle in the area by an entry and exit point to provide a measured presence time;
comparing the measured presence time with a predetermined reference time; and
indicating whether the measured presence time in the area falls below the predetermined reference time.

Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for identifying through traffic, entry into and exit from a predefined area are ascertained and the transit time is used to determine whether unauthorized transit through the area has occurred.

11. An apparatus for through traffic detection, comprising:
-
a terminal device installed in a vehicle that has a position determination system and a computer unit having a memory; wherein the computer unit is configured to detect entry into and exit from a predefined area based on a position of the vehicle, to determine a measured presence time in the predefined area, to compare the measured presence time with a predetermined reference value, and to provide an indication whether the presence time falls below the reference value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer-implemented method for identifying through traffic, comprising:
-
sensing a position of a vehicle being sensed; detecting entry into and exit from a predefined area based on the vehicle position; ascertaining, by a processor, a measured presence time spent by the vehicle in the area by an entry and exit point; comparing the measured presence time with a predetermined reference time; and indicating whether the measured presence time in the area exceeds the predetermined reference time.
