Abstract

Provided is a system and method for reporting a regulation violation of a vehicle. The system includes a sensor, a competent authority server, a vehicle database, a relay, and a vehicle terminal. The sensor senses the regulation violation of the vehicle. The competent authority server reads sense information received from the sensor, issues a penalty notice, and transmits regulation violation information to the violation vehicle. The vehicle database stores a variety of information relating to the vehicle. The relay wire/wireless connects with the competent authority server and at the same time, wireless connects with the vehicle terminal. The vehicle terminal is installed in the vehicle, and receives the regulation violation information from the competent authority server and transmits the received regulation violation information to a driver.

Claims

1. A system for reporting a regulation violation of a vehicle, the system comprising:

a sensor for sensing the regulation violation of the vehicle;

a competent authority server for reading sense information received from the sensor, issuing a penalty notice, and transmitting regulation violation information to the violation vehicle;

a vehicle database for storing a variety of information relating to the vehicle;

a relay wire/wireless connecting with the competent authority server and at the same time, wireless connecting with a vehicle terminal; and

the vehicle terminal installed in the vehicle, and receiving the regulation violation information from the competent authority server and transmitting the received regulation violation information to a driver.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the sensor further comprises:

a regulation violation sensor for sensing the traffic regulation violation of the vehicle and at the same time, storing vehicle information; and

a sense information transmitter for transmitting a traffic regulation violation content and the vehicle information to the competent authority server through a wire/wireless communication network or a dedicated line.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the competent authority server further comprises:

a sense information receiver for receiving data having the traffic regulation violation content and the vehicle information transmitted by the sensor;

a regulation violation reader for receiving a traffic regulation violation item of a specific vehicle from the sensor and reading the received regulation violation item of the specific vehicle;

a violation information transmitter/receiver for transmitting a signal having information on the violation item that is decided on the basis of the read result of the regulation violation reader, to the violation vehicle, and receiving a reply signal having the reception check message from the violation vehicle; and

a notice issuing unit for, when it is decided to be the traffic regulation violation as the read result of the regulation violation reader, automatically reading the vehicle information, and issuing the penalty notice.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle terminal further comprises:

a wireless transmitter/receiver for receiving traffic regulation violation item information from the competent authority server and at the same time, again transmitting a reception check message to the competent authority server;

a reception checking unit for generating the reception check message;

a recognizer controller for controlling a driver recognizer to transmit the traffic regulation violation item information received through the wireless transmitter/receiver, to the driver; and

the driver recognizer for visually and aurally transmitting the traffic regulation violation item information to the driver under control of the recognizer controller.

5. A method for reporting a regulation violation of a vehicle, the method comprising steps of:

in a sensor, sensing and transmitting a regulation violation of a specific vehicle to a competent authority server;

in the competent authority server, receiving and reading regulation violation sense information;

in the competent authority server, automatically issuing a penalty notice depending on its regulation violation decision content;

in the competent authority server, transmitting regulation violation information data to the vehicle terminal; and

in a vehicle terminal, receiving the regulation violation information data, and aurally or visually transmitting the received information data to a driver.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the receiving and reading further comprises a step of, in the competent authority server, reading the regulation violation sense information, and storing a read content in a vehicle information database.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the transmitting of the regulation violation information data further comprises a step of, in the competent authority server, transmitting the regulation violation information data to the vehicle terminal, and repeatedly transmitting the regulation violation information data until receiving a reception check message from the vehicle terminal.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the transmitting of the regulation violation information data further comprises a step of, in the competent authority server, transmitting the regulation violation information data to the vehicle terminal, determining whether or not an expiration date of payment of the penalty notice arrives, and, upon arrival of the expiration date of the payment, re-transmitting the regulation violation information data.
