US 2026/0112266 A1 · METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR VEHICLE TO VEHICLE SPEED TRACKING AND RECORDING

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for a speed tracking and recording system for a vehicle. The system may include one or more cameras configured to capture image data of a license plate number of a target vehicle. The system may include one or more distance sensors configured to determine spatial information of the target vehicle relative to the vehicle. The system may include an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU may determine a speed limit of a road, determine a current speed of the vehicle, receive the spatial information when the target vehicle approaches and/or passes the vehicle, determine a speed of the target vehicle based on the determined current speed and the received spatial information, and control the one or more cameras to capture the image data when the determined speed of the target vehicle is greater than the determined speed limit by at least a threshold margin.

Dependent claims

A speed tracking and recording system for a monitoring vehicle, comprising:

one or more cameras configured to capture image data of a license plate number of one or more target vehicles;
one or more distance sensors configured to determine spatial information of the one or more target vehicles relative to the monitoring vehicle;
and
an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the one or more cameras and the one or more distance sensors and configured to:
determine a speed limit of a road the monitoring vehicle is currently traveling on,
determine a current speed of the monitoring vehicle,
receive the spatial information from the one or more distance sensors when the one or more target vehicles approach and/or pass the monitoring vehicle on the road,
determine a speed of the one or more target vehicles based on the determined current speed of the monitoring vehicle and the received spatial information, and
control the one or more cameras to capture the image data when the determined speed of the one or more target vehicles is greater than the determined speed limit by at least a threshold margin.

6 more elements

A method for tracking and recording a speed of one or more target vehicles by a monitoring vehicle, the method comprising:

determining, via an electronic control unit (ECU) of the monitoring vehicle, a speed limit of a road the monitoring vehicle is currently traveling on;
determining, via the ECU, a current speed of the monitoring vehicle;
determining, via one or more distance sensors electrically connected to the ECU, spatial information of the one or more target vehicles relative to the monitoring vehicle when the one or more target vehicles approach and/or pass the monitoring vehicle;
determining, via the ECU, a speed of the one or more target vehicles based on the determined current speed of the monitoring vehicle and the determined spatial information;
and
capturing, via one or more cameras electrically connected to the ECU, image data including a license plate number of the one or more target vehicles when the determined speed of the one or more target vehicles is greater than the determined speed limit by at least a threshold margin.
