COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR DETECTING LAW ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS

摘要

A communication system (200) comprises a radio communication device (100) comprising a controller (102) having law enforcement information (110) stored therein and a data acquisition device (108) for capturing area conditions surrounding a law enforcement vehicle or law enforcement personnel. The controller (102) detects violations of the law enforcement information based on variety of detection devices, such as video analytics. In response to a detection of a law violation by an offending vehicle, a transmitter (104) within communication device 100 generates an alert to similarly formed secondary devices (220) mounted and/or worn within the network. The system (200) provides an automated response through devices (220) by gathering additional data pertaining to the offending vehicle to detect for additional violations of the law, even across state lines. The system (200) may further facilitate apprehension of an offending vehicle through automated roadblocks.

主权项

1. A method of operating a communication system in a vehicular environment, comprising:
storing law enforcement information in a communication device associated with a law enforcement vehicle; recording traffic conditions surrounding the law enforcement vehicle; comparing the traffic condition to the stored law enforcement information; detecting a traffic law violation as a result of the comparison; generating an alert signal indicating the detection of the traffic law violation by an offending vehicle to other communication devices; and generating a warning signal by the other communication devices indicating a potential collision, when the traffic law violation is a pre-stored move-over law violation; and tracking and gathering data pertaining to the offending vehicle using the other communication devices.
