The present invention is directed to a mobile or stationary traffic monitoring
system for detecting violations of speed limits or other traffic laws by vehicle
operators and issuing citations to an operator and/or vehicle owner suspected of
a violation using a digital camera to capture images of the operator and/or the
vehicle, transmitting the captured images and other relevant data to an analysis
center where the images and data are analyzed to determine whether to issue a citation
and, if so, to issue the citation or take other appropriate law enforcement measures.
The invention is also directed to a method for capturing images of a vehicle and/or
vehicle operator suspected of a traffic violation, determining the time and geographic
location of the suspected violation, transmitting the images and other data to
an analysis center, issuing citations to violators and deriving revenue therefrom.
