First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for detecting possible traffic violations of vehicles, the method comprising:
- determining that a school bus is within a zone of interest;
after determining that the school bus is within the zone of interest, receiving, via one or more processors, an indication that the school bus has entered or is entering a stopped position;
after receiving the indication that the school bus has entered or is entering the stopped position within the zone of interest, monitoring, via one or more processors, an area proximate the school bus to detect possible traffic violations; and
detecting a possible traffic violation, wherein (a) the possible traffic violation is detected via at least one of a motion sensor, a sound sensor, or a magnetic sensor, and (b) the possible traffic violation is a vehicle passing the school bus in the area proximate the school bus.

Abstract
In general, embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for detecting possible traffic violations of vehicles. For example, in one embodiment, this may include receiving an indication that a school bus has entered or is entering a stopped position. After receiving an indication that the school bus has entered or is entering the stopped position, an area proximate the school bus can be monitored to detect possible traffic violations.

8. A system for detecting possible traffic violations of vehicles, the system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the system to at least:
-
determine that a school bus is within a zone of interest; after determining that the school bus is within the zone of interest, receive an indication that a school bus has entered or is entering a stopped position; after receiving the indication that the school bus has entered or is entering the stopped position within the zone of interest, monitor an area proximate the school bus to detect possible traffic violations; and detect a possible traffic violation, wherein (a) the possible traffic violation is detected via at least one of a motion sensor, a sound sensor, or a magnetic sensor, and (b) the possible traffic violation is a vehicle passing the school bus in the area proximate the school bus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product for detecting possible traffic violations of vehicles, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein to be executed by one or more processors, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to determine that a school bus is within a zone of interest; an executable portion, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to, after determining that the school bus is within the zone of interest, receive an indication that a school bus has entered or is entering a stopped position; an executable portion, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to, after receiving the indication that the school bus has entered or is entering the stopped position within the zone of interest, monitor an area proximate the school bus to detect possible traffic violations; and an executable portion, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to detect a possible traffic violation, wherein (a) the possible traffic violation is detected via at least one of a motion sensor, a sound sensor, or a magnetic sensor, and (b) the possible traffic violation is a vehicle passing the school bus in the area proximate the school bus. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
