Disclosed are system and processes that provide for community security systems. These community security systems integrate technology, community resources, and people to deter, prevent, or minimize the impact of intrusion, invasion, or unlawful entry to the community. An integrated management security system, an alert tower system, and a detection device system can communicate in real time to provide alerts regarding the presence of unauthorized, dangerous, reckless, or otherwise undesired vehicles or activities to members of an associated community.

A method at a computing device associated with a road user, the method including detecting actions of a second road user; checking the actions against rules associated with the computing device; determining that the actions of the second road user contravene the rules; and providing a report regarding the actions of the second road user.

The invention relates to a process for monitoring vehicles on a road by a system comprising at least one radar sensor and a second sensor different from the radar sensor, wherein the second remote sensor is a time-of-flight optical sensor or optical image sensor, the process comprising a temporal readjustment and a spatial matching in order to obtain a set of measurement points each assigned to first characteristics derived from the radar data and second characteristics derived from the optical data, the determination of the radar vehicle trackings and of the optical vehicle trackings, a comparison of similarity between the radar vehicle trackings and the optical vehicle trackings, the elimination of the radar vehicle trackings for which no optical vehicle tracking is similar, the process comprising monitoring a parameter derived from first characteristics of a retained radar vehicle tracking.

A system mountable in a host vehicle, configured to operate while the host vehicle is moving in a road environment. The system includes a backward-looking camera with field-of-view behind the host vehicle, a side-looking camera with field-of-view to a side of the host vehicle, a forward-looking camera with field-of-view in front of the host vehicle. A processor is configured to control the cameras, to acquire and store in memory images acquired from the cameras. The processor is configured to detect a target vehicle in the images of a one camera and track a feature of the target vehicle in the images of the other cameras. A traffic violation is declared when a feature of the target vehicle is identified in images of the other cameras.

A method for tracking and characterizing a plurality of vehicles simultaneously in a traffic control environment, comprising: providing a 3D optical emitter; providing a 3D optical receiver with a wide and deep field of view; driving the 3D optical emitter into emitting short light pulses; receiving a reflection/backscatter of the emitted light, thereby acquiring an individual digital full-waveform LIDAR trace for each detection channel of the 3D optical receiver; using the individual digital full-waveform LIDAR trace and the emitted light waveform, detecting a presence of a plurality of vehicles, a position of at least part of each vehicle and a time at which the position is detected; assigning a unique identifier to each vehicle; repeating the steps of driving, receiving, acquiring and detecting, at a predetermined frequency; tracking and recording an updated position of each vehicle and an updated time at which the updated position is detected.

In some examples, vehicle detection includes detecting a target vehicle that has at least one designated attribute, confirming that the detected target vehicle is within an unobstructed or partially obstructed line of sight of the first object, and confirming that the target vehicle has been detected within the unobstructed or partially obstructed line of sight of the first object.

A motor vehicle includes a first system detecting that the motor vehicle has violated a traffic law. A second system ascertains an identity of a person driving the motor vehicle during the violation of the traffic law. A wireless transmitter is communicatively coupled to the first system and to the second system. The wireless transmitter transmits a wireless signal indicative of the violation of the traffic law and the identity of the person driving the motor vehicle during the violation of the traffic law.
