Traffic monitoring system and traffic monitoring method in which a traffic control center configured a three dimensional traffic image
First Claim
1. A traffic monitoring system for monitoring traffic on a plurality of roads, comprising:
- one or more road monitoring devices, each road monitoring device positioned along a road and each road monitoring device having specific transmittable position information stored therein; and
a traffic control center electronically coupled to the one or more road monitoring devices, the traffic control center having stored transmittable three dimensional images of a plurality of vehicle types and stored transmittable three dimensional images of the plurality of roads to be monitored;
wherein, when one or more vehicles passes one of the plurality of road monitoring devices, the road monitoring device receives a vehicle identification code from each vehicle identifying the specific vehicle, the vehicle identification code being transmitted from a vehicle terminal device mounted in each vehicle;
wherein, when the road monitoring device receives each specific vehicle identification code, the road monitoring device calculates position information of each vehicle and transmits the road monitoring device position information, each vehicle identification code and the calculated vehicle position information for each vehicle to the traffic control center;
wherein, the traffic control center calls out one or more stored images each with the vehicle type corresponding to each of the one or more vehicles specified by the one or more vehicle identification codes, calls out a particular image of the road corresponding to the road monitoring device position, and configures a three dimensional vehicle image of each vehicle to be respectively positioned in the particular monitored road image based on the stored images of the one or more vehicle types, the one or more stored images of the monitored roads, and the position information of each vehicle;
wherein, the traffic control center configures a three dimensional traffic image of the road at the road monitoring device position from all of the vehicle type images of the one or more vehicles passing the particular one of the plurality of the road monitoring devices.

Abstract
A traffic monitoring system includes a plurality of road monitoring devices and a traffic control center electronically coupled to the road monitoring devices. Each road monitoring device has specific transmittable position information stored therein. The traffic control center has stored transmittable images of a plurality of vehicle types and stored transmittable images of the plurality of roads to be monitored. When one or more vehicles passes one of the road monitoring devices, the road monitoring device receives a vehicle identification code from each vehicle, calculates position information of each vehicle and transmits the road monitoring device position information, each vehicle identification code and the vehicle position information for each vehicle to the traffic control center. The traffic control center configures a three dimensional traffic image from all of the vehicle images of the one or more vehicles passing the one of the road monitoring devices.
