Mobile device and method for monitoring of vehicles
First Claim
1. A mobile monitoring device for monitoring vehicles, comprising:
- a first sensor for measuring speed of vehicles, including a vehicle, passing through a first detection range, said first sensor providing a speed measurement value of the vehicle with a first time stamp corresponding to a first time;
a second sensor for measuring a geometry of vehicles, including the vehicle, passing through a second detection range, said second sensor providing a geometry measurement value of the vehicle with a second time stamp corresponding to a second time;
a camera for recording images of vehicles, including the vehicle, passing through a third detection range, said camera providing an image of the vehicle with a third time stamp corresponding to a third time, wherein the first time is a different than the third time; and
an evaluation device electrically coupled to the camera and the first and second sensors, and configured for calculating a place and time at which the vehicle is to be expected in the third detection range from the speed measurement value, the first time stamp and the first detection range, and the geometry measurement value, the second time stamp and the second detection range, to determine a matching image for the vehicle from the recorded images on the basis of a corresponding third time stamp and the third detection range.

Abstract
A mobile monitoring device including a first sensor for measuring the speed of vehicles passing through a first detection range with a first time stamp; a second sensor for measuring the geometry of vehicles passing through a second detection range with a second time stamp; a camera for recording images of vehicles passing through a third detection range with a third time stamp; and an evaluation device, which calculates from the speed measurement value, first time stamp and first detection range, and from the geometry measurement value, second time stamp and second detection range, the place and time in or at which a passage of the vehicle is to be expected in the third detection range, to determine the matching image on the basis of the third time stamp and third detection range therefrom. The invention additionally relates to such a monitoring method.
