Abstract
A stop violation detection system and method includes at least one sensor mounted to establish a light shield adjacent a first vehicle, at least one image capture device mounted to record at least one image adjacent the first vehicle, and a control unit operatively coupled with the at least one sensor and the at least one image capture device to detect breach of the light shield by a second vehicle and record the breach of the light shield by the second vehicle with the at least one image capture device.
Claims20
A stop violation detection system, comprising:
- at least one sensor mounted to establish a light shield adjacent a first vehicle;
- at least one image capture device mounted to record at least one image adjacent the first vehicle;
- and
- a control unit operatively coupled with the at least one sensor and the at least one image capture device to:
- detect breach of the light shield by an object,
- measure a size of the object with the light shield, and
- when the size of the object, as measured with the light shield, meets a predefined size criteria, record the breach of the light shield by the object with the at least one image capture device.

A stop violation detection method, comprising:
- activating at least one sensor in response to a stop sequence of a first vehicle, including establishing a light shield adjacent the first vehicle with the at least one sensor in response to the stop sequence;
- detecting breach of the light shield by an object;
- discriminating a size of the object with the light shield;
- and
- in response to the detecting and the discriminating, activating at least one image capture device to record the breach of the light shield by the object.
