Traffic violation warning and traffic violation storage apparatus

摘要

A vehicle location detector detects the vehicle state such as the location and speed from a GPS signal. Memory stores map data and traffic regulation data in advance. It is determined whether there is the possibility that a driver commits traffic violations based on the vehicle state information and traffic regulation data on the road where the vehicle is traveling. In case it is determined that there is the possibility that the driver commits traffic violations, a traffic violation warning is output via voice and displayed on a display. It is also determined whether the driver has committed traffic violations based on the vehicle state information and traffic regulation data. In case it is determined that the driver has committed traffic violations, the traffic violation details are recorded in traffic violation memory.
