System and method for traffic monitoring
First Claim
1. An apparatus for generating a signal for optimally capturing an image associated with multiple violators, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller;
one or more sensors, communicatively coupled to said controller, said one or more sensors detecting at least two vehicles;
said controllers using data associated with said one or more sensors to determine an optimal schedule for acquiring one or more images associated with violations associated with said at least two vehicles; and
an image acquisition system communicatively coupled to said controller, said image acquisition system acquiring said one or more images associated with said violations associated with said at least two vehicles, said image acquisition system acquiring said one or more images in compliance with said optimal schedule.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a system and method for acquiring image evidence of traffic violations. The system has a controller, an image acquisition system, and sensors. The controller acquires data from the sensors to determine the likelihood of a traffic violation. The controller determines a schedule for acquiring images associated with the violation. Multiple images may be acquired as evidence of the violation. The controller then directs the image acquisition to acquire images in compliance with the schedule. The controller may then package, encrypt, and authenticate data and images associated with the violation. The controller may then transfer the data to a remote location. The system may also determine a schedule to acquire images associated with multiple violations and/or traffic accidents.
