Method and apparatus for traffic infraction management

Abstract

The system provides a way to detect potential impaired driving and to easily and automatically report it to enforcement officials. The system can create a video record of the impaired driving and send the video to an enforcement official who can be notified to intercept the impaired driver. In one embodiment, the system can be implemented on a stand-alone system or a smartphone. The system uses video recording technology and a tracking system to identify vehicles making excessive numbers of lane changes, failure to maintain a lane, unusual vehicle speed behaviors, and the like. Based on vehicle behavior, the system can determine if a particular vehicle is exhibiting behavior that indicates impaired driving. The system can record video of the vehicle behavior and send it to the nearest enforcement officer.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
