Collection, monitoring, analyzing and reporting of traffic data via vehicle sensor devices placed at multiple remote locations

A computer-implemented method of creating traffic management reports from vehicle data using a server which is in communication with (i) a central computer database, and (ii) a user interface, the method comprising:

• (a) providing one or more vehicle sensor devices, each device being at a different fixed location in a region, each device capturing data of vehicles that pass the device;
• (b) communicating the vehicle data to the central computer database that is located remotely from the vehicles;
• (c) selecting, via the user interface, one or more criteria from a plurality of criteria for filtering the vehicle data and communicating the selected filter criteria to the server;
• and
• (d) at the server, filtering the vehicle data in the central computer database using the selected filter criteria and automatically creating one or more traffic management reports from the filtered vehicle data, wherein each traffic management report incorporates vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles.

An apparatus for creating traffic management reports from vehicle data captured by one or more vehicle sensor devices which are located at different fixed locations in a region, each device capturing data of vehicles that pass the device, the apparatus comprising:

• (a) a central computer database that is located remotely from the vehicles and which receives the captured vehicle data;
• (b) a user interface adapted to select one or more criteria from a plurality of criteria for filtering the vehicle data;
• and
• (c) a server in communication with the central computer database and the user interface, the server filtering the vehicle data in the central computer database using the selected filter criteria and automatically creating one or more traffic management reports from the filtered vehicle data, wherein each traffic management report incorporates vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles.

A computer-implemented method of creating a plurality of different traffic enforcement reports from vehicle data using a server which is in communication with a central computer database, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a plurality of vehicle sensor devices, each device being at a different fixed location in a region, each device capturing data of vehicles that pass the device;
• (b) communicating the vehicle data to the central computer database;
• and
• (c) at the server, creating a plurality of different traffic enforcement reports from the vehicle data, each of the traffic enforcement reports including a plurality of different traffic locations and vehicle speed at each of the locations, wherein each traffic enforcement report incorporates vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles, and wherein the vehicle data is for a plurality of previous, non-current times so as to allow for analysis of past vehicle data.
