Publication number: 20060066472Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the passage by a vehicle of a determined point for monitoring on a road, wherein from a remotely situated location a radar beam is transmitted continuously to the point for monitoring, reflections from the transmitted radar beam are received at the remotely situated location, and it is determined from the received reflections that the vehicle is passing the point for monitoring. The radar beam can herein be transmitted at an acute angle to the travel direction of the passing vehicle. The detection can be used to activate a red-light camera, to measure the speed of the vehicle or measure the traffic intensity, without sensors, for instance induction loops, having to be arranged in the road for this purpose. The invention further relates to a system for performing this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Applicant: Gatsometer B.V.Inventor: Theodorus Janssen

Publication number: 20060055560Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the passage by a vehicle of a determined point for monitoring on a road, wherein from a remotely situated location a laser beam is transmitted continuously to the point for monitoring, reflections from the transmitted laser beam are received at the remotely situated location, and it is determined from the received reflections that the vehicle is passing the point for monitoring. The laser beam can be transmitted at right angles to the travel direction of the passing vehicle. The detection can be used to activate a red-light camera, to measure the speed of the vehicle or measure the traffic intensity, without sensors, for instance induction loops, having to be arranged in the road for this purpose.

Publication number: 20060047371Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording a traffic violation in which a vehicle is involved, by detecting the violation, making a record of the violation, and searching for and reading from the record a license plate of the vehicle involved in the violation. During making of the record position information of the vehicle is herein recorded, and on the basis of this information a search is made for the license plate in only a part of the record. The recorded position information can comprise the travel direction of the vehicle, or the lane in which the vehicle is located. The record can be a picture record wherein a search for the license plate is made, on the basis of the recorded travel direction, only in a left or right-hand half or, on the basis of the recorded position information, only in a narrow strip. The invention also relates to a system for performing the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventor: Theodorus Janssen

Publication number: 20060015245Abstract: This invention relates to a method for synchronizing a clock of a traffic monitoring system, by periodically transmitting a synchronization signal to the system from a satellite, which signal forms an indication of the exact time, comparing the time indicated by the clock with the signal, and adjusting the time indicated by the clock if this differs from the synchronization signal. The satellite can be a navigation satellite, whereby the location of the system can also be determined from the received synchronization signal. The time or the operation of the traffic monitoring system can for instance be adjusted on the basis of the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventor: Theodorus Janssen

Publication number: 20050206728Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a red-light camera at a traffic light, the lights of which are formed by an array of intermittently operated LEDs. Vehicles which pass through the traffic light are detected and a recording is made when a vehicle passes during a period in which the red light of the traffic light is activated. There is herein detected for which part of the activation period the LEDs of the red light are actually on, and the recording is made in precisely that part of the activation period. The moment of the recording can further be corrected for a response time of the red-light camera. The invention further relates to a device for performing this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventor: Theodorus Janssen
