  • Publication number: 20090233631
    Abstract: A process and system used for reporting and processing incidents of aggressive, dangerous, and discourteous drivers using Short Message Service (SMS) data, also known as “text messaging” using key words or characters. A hand held electronic device is used to send a text message location reporting emergency or non-emergency information to a central processing unit. By establishing a process and system that utilizes mobile hand held electronic devices or cell phones to report emergency and non-emergency information through text messaging and downloading that information to the central processing unit, this data is then put through a filtration process to allow the most serious road violators and those needing help to be easily retrieved. The information is then transmitted to a subscriber via text message and/or email for corrective action or for dispatching emergency help.
