Appl. No.:

09/679379

Inventors:

John J. Mackey - Lindenhurst NY 11757
Donna M. Mackey - Lindenhurst NY 11757

International Classification:

G08G 1017

US Classification:

340937, 340435, 340903, 348148, 348149

Abstract:

This invention relates to a system for motor vehicles to monitor and automatically report to authorities aggressive driving behavior of other vehicles. The camera takes images from the rear view of the vehicle and preferably also from the front. For example, when a vehicle is at a certain MPH and is being followed too closely by another driver (for an extended period of timeâten seconds or more) this event can trigger the system to capture and transmit the rear view images of the offending vehicle. These images are then uplinked to the local law enforcement agency that in turn will determine whether or not a citation or ticket should be automatically mailed to the offender. If the offending driver continues to harass the driver with the system and in doing so drives past the victim, similar images are captured from the frontal view of the vehicle.

International Classification:

G06F 700
G06F 1900

US Classification:

701 35

Abstract:

One or more video cameras are mounted on the vehicle to make continuously a visual record of the scene in a region around the vehicle. Camera images during a time interval covering the current time and the recent past are stored on-board the vehicle, preferably, digitally recorded in a compressed format. In addition, data (e. g. one or more operating parameters such as speed, GPS data, engine, and/or brake operating parameters) from the vehicle's on-board embedded computers covering the present and recent past interval are also preferably digitally stored on-board the vehicle. An accident detector or detectors on-board the vehicle, for example a biaxial accelerometer, generate a trigger signal in response to an accident, such as the vehicle striking something or being struck by another vehicle. In response to an accident detector trigger signal, the data stored on-board the vehicle is automatically transmitted over a wireless link (e. g. public access links such as CDPD, satellite and Iredium or a private link) to a central data base.

Appl. No.:

14/855903

Inventors:

Mark Holzwanger - Forest Hills NY, US

Assignee:

Holzmac LLC - New Rochelle NY

International Classification:

G08G 1/005

Abstract:

An encrypted traffic signal device controller (TSDC) and an Electronic Variable Message Sign (EVMS) at intersection roadways and related traffic intersections where the invention system is installed at traffic light intersections which will be triggered at the red light sequence where vehicles/pedestrian/cyclists are stopped. After the traffic light turns red, the time delay of the red light will trigger an audio and visual public announcement which will be of assistance to the driver and enable the driver to pay attention to the announcement without being concerned about diverting the driver's attention from driving the vehicle since the vehicle is stopped at a red light and the driver can devote his attention to reading the information provided.
