Patent ID: 8629786

Claim:
An autonomous system for automated monitoring of traffic patterns on at least one designated surface comprising: at least one mobile monitoring and recording module including: at least one support and stabilization section; at least one erector section; at least one autonomous source of electric energy; at least one electric energy storage device; and at least one control and information storage unit; wherein the at least one support and stabilization section includes a transportation subsection arranged to provide mobility when coupled to a source of a mechanical force, at least one stabilizing subsection arranged to stabilize the at least one mobile monitoring and recording module in a stationary traffic monitoring position; wherein the at least one erector section includes an erector arranged to erect at least one speed measuring device, at least one traffic imaging device, at respective predetermined heights above the designated surface, and at least one illumination device arranged to illuminate the traffic patterns while causing substantially negligible residential and traffic disturbance in a proximity of the autonomous monitoring system; and wherein the autonomous system for automated monitoring of traffic patterns is arranged to have no wired connections or no dedicated data conduits between the autonomous system for automated monitoring of traffic patterns and a traffic control signaling device.
