Claim 10:
11. A method for operating an alert system that is deployable on or along a roadway, comprising:
polling one or more sensors for a predefined number of beta distance readings in response to receiving an initial distance reading from at least one of the sensors indicating a vehicle is within a predefined distance away from an alert beacon;
calculating an average distance and an average velocity for the vehicle in response to receiving the predefined number of beta distance readings when the vehicle is within the predefined distance from the alert beacon;
activating one or more alerts when the average distance is below a distance threshold and the average velocity exceeds a velocity threshold in response to calculating the average distance and the average velocity; and
analyzing one or more images to determine whether a service repair protocol is being performed.
