Patent ID: 8659446

Claim:
An automated traffic enforcement system for providing alert to a law enforcement officer in a signalized roadway intersection, the system comprising: a transmitting unit installed in an intersection control cabinet, the transmitting unit comprising: at least one cable harness connected to a power supply voltage terminal, the at least one cable harness attached to eight phase drive signals, the eight phase drive signals being preset at a primary voltage level; an on board power supply adaptable to drive the transmitting unit, the on board power supply being connected to the power supply voltage terminal; a switching circuit connected to the eight phase drive signals, the switching circuit being configured to convert the primary voltage level of the eight phase drive signals to a secondary voltage level; a first central processing unit (CPU) to convert the secondary voltage level to a digital code utilizing a first software means installed thereon via a first interface connector, the digital code configured to include at least one traffic signal information; a radio frequency (RF) transmitter adaptable to transmit the digital code to an external antenna; and a transmitter switch configured to operatively select at least one signal frequency; and a radio frequency (RF) remote receiving unit designed to impart the at least one traffic signal information to the law enforcement officer, the RF remote receiving unit comprising: an internal antenna adaptable to receive the digital code transmitted by the external antenna; a second central processing unit (CPU) assembled to receive the digital code from the internal antenna, the second CPU configured to decode the digital code utilizing a second software means installed thereon via a second interface connector, the second CPU configured to send the at least one traffic signal information to at least one signal indicator through a plurality of signal drivers; a battery pack operative to power the RF remote receiving unit, the battery pack being configured to indicate power level through a light emitting diode (LED) indicator attached thereon; a power jack operative to recharge the RF remote receiving unit utilizing an external power adaptor; and a receiver switch adaptable to match the at least one signal frequency selected by the transmitter switch; whereby the RF remote receiving unit alerts the law enforcement officer on the at least one traffic signal information corresponding to red-light-running in a signalized roadway intersection.
