At least one of the traffic elements is associated with at least one user of the road outside said vehicle. A command module warns the user of the road of the detected risk.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device for generating an alert signal in a vehicle comprising: an identification module designed to identify at least two items of information from two different categories from at least one image from an image sensor, each category being chosen from: the presence of an animal or an object prohibited and/or abandoned by one of the passengers; a characteristic movement or posture of one of the passengers and the presence of a furnishing element of the vehicle; a detection module designed to detect an incident from the combination of two items of information from two different categories and from a warning rule associating the two items of information with said incident; and a generation module designed to generate an alert signal when an incident is detected.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes a sensor system for capturing at a capture instant, information relating to moving objects moving in a roadway infrastructure portion, and a control station comprising a display for displaying at a display instant subsequent to the capture instant, a view of the roadway infrastructure portion on which is visible an image of each moving object.

Abstract: An electronic monitoring device for monitoring a scene around a motor vehicle can be installed on the motor vehicle or along a public road network. It is capable of being connected to a primary sensor and to at least one secondary sensor. The primary sensor is an image sensor and each secondary sensor is distinct and separate from the primary sensor. The device includes a first acquisition module for acquiring at least one image of the scene from the primary sensor, and a second acquisition module for acquiring a set of one or more measurement point(s) relating to the scene from the at least one secondary sensor. A computation module computes an enriched image of the scene by superimposing a representation of an additional information item dependent on the set of one or more point(s) on to the acquired image. A transmission module transmits the enriched image to remote equipment.
