Patents by Inventor Bernhard Dohmann

Bernhard Dohmann has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method of verifiably detecting the speed of a vehicle
    Patent number: 8115670
    Abstract: A method of measuring the speed of a vehicle wherein the speed and the distance of the vehicle from a radar system and/or the measuring angle of the vehicle relative to the radar axis is determined by means of a radar measurement so as to characterize or determine the vehicle lane of the vehicle by means of the distance and/or the measuring angle. Knowledge of the vehicle lane makes it possible to unequivocally identify the detected vehicle in a group of vehicles unequivocally.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2012
    Assignee: Robot Visual Systems GmbH
    Inventors: Christoph Klein, Andreas Behrens, Bernhard Dohmann, Norbert Terlau
  • Method for detecting and documenting traffic violations at a traffic light
    Patent number: 7633433
    Abstract: A method for detecting and documenting red-light violations and/or speeding violations in which a radar beam is directed across all lanes of a roadway of interest and in which the speed and the position of a vehicle which passes through the radar beam are determined from the radar signals so as to be able to predict the probability of a red-light violation from the speed and the determined distance of the measured vehicle from a stop line and to trigger the recording of images of the violating vehicle at predetermined distances from the stop line.
