Title: Method and device for sophisticated detecting of traffic violations in a restricted area controlled by traffic lights
Inventor: KUESTER HANS-HOLGER
IPC: G08G/
Filed: 2009-12-09
Abstract: The method involves generating an entrance signal (E1) when a vehicle is driven into a detection region, and generating an exit signal (A1) when the vehicle is driven out from the detection region.
