ABSTRACT:
An manned, mobile traffic enforcement platform with aimable violation and documentation devices employing digital video and still images, incorporating contextual information as well as data input by the system operator and driver. The mobile enforcement platform (MEP) is operated by a trained and authorized system operator (typically a police officer trained and experienced in traffic enforcement) who applies pre-determined criteria, protocols, procedures and routines that are approved and authorized by the user-jurisdiction for use with the MEP system. MEP's aimable devices support detection, identification, and documentation of violations occurring in any of several lanes behind or in front of the moving MEP vehicle. MEP also can be used from the roadside. The violation information and documentation can be transmitted to a fixed facility for citation processing or it can be transferred in batches over landlines or by direct link for later citation processing. MEP is designed to capture all types of moving violations, including aggressive driving and reckless driving, in readily retrievable documentation that will support citation preparation and can even be provided with the citation to substantiate the content as required by the respective jurisdiction. The MEP operator or driver also can identify gross violations to police dispatchers for attempted interception of the violator by other police units. MEP also generates traffic-related information of interest to planners and police enforcement and can perform homeland security monitoring tasks as well as other surveillance activities. MEP is a traffic enforcement tool that is designed to greatly expand police productivity, reduce police officer paperwork and court time, increase enforcement credibility (eventually reducing court caseloads), reduce crash costs and fatalities, and dramatically improve highway safety.
