TRAFFIC VIOLATION DETECTION, RECORDING AND EVIDENCE PROCESSING SYSTEM

A traffic violation or event detection recording and processing system includes both wide angle and narrow angle cameras. The cameras capture images of traffic in a monitoring region. The narrow angle camera obtains information relating to the vehicle number plate and driver, and the wide angle camera obtains images of the vehicle and red light as evidence of a violation. Speed violation is determined by a non-intrusive speed detection system such as a Doppler radar or laser system. Accident events may be determined with the addition of a noise detection mechanism. Evidence of violations recorded may be stored on a central database or databases with real-time interactivity to authorized users via any computer with Internet connectivity to perform various evidence management or review tasks.
