Pedestrian Right of Way Monitoring and Reporting System and Method

摘要

A system and method for monitoring vehicle traffic and collecting data indicative of pedestrian right of way violations by vehicles is provided. The system comprises memory and logic for monitoring traffic intersections and recording evidence indicating that vehicles have violated pedestrian right of way. Two sensor modalities collecting video data and radar data of the intersection under observation are employed in one embodiment of the system. The violation evidence can be accessed remotely by a traffic official for issuing of traffic citations.

1. A system, comprising:
memory; and logic configured to receive and store in the memory radar data and video data indicative of possible pedestrians and vehicles in an area under observation, the logic further configured to segment and classify the radar and video data and correlate classified radar objects with classified video objects to identify correlated objects of interest, wherein the logic configured to correlate classified radar objects with classified video objects comprises logic configured to search classified video objects for correlating classified radar objects, record a likeness of the modalities for a property, and determine a likelihood of correlation between the modalities, the logic farther configured to track the correlated objects to identify tracked pedestrians and vehicles, the logic further configured to receive and store in the memory traffic rules data indicative of pedestrian right of way traffic laws for the area under observation, the logic further configured to process the tracked pedestrians and vehicles with the traffic rules data to generate and store in the memory data indicative of alleged vehicle pedestrian right of way violations.
