[0056]

In the past, the enforcement of traffic light violations was mainly monitored by police officers in the vicinity of traffic lights, which required a great deal of labor. In addition, there were attempts to shake off police officers' restrictions, which entailed danger. In addition, the administrative work involved in collecting the fine after the arrest was enormous. Furthermore, in recent years, there have been many cases of unpaid fines, and the collection itself took a lot of manpower and time.

According to the present invention, all of these are automated, and the collection of the fine and the addition of the fine points can be performed simultaneously with the detection of the violation, so that the labor and the danger can be completely eliminated.

Further, even if the offense money or the offense point is changed due to a change in the ordinance or the like, these changes can be remotely instructed to the violation detection sensor, so that the condition can be changed smoothly without much effort. .

In addition, since the automatic toll collection function put to practical use in the ITS is applied to the collection of a fine, a situation such as non-payment can be avoided. , The effect of deterring violations is greatly enhanced.

Further, since the driver registration database and the photo registration database are automatically compared with the photographed image of the driver of the offending vehicle to identify the driver and automatically add the fouling points, there is no need for manual inquiry and addition processing. Is also possible.

Regarding this point, the driver's license is converted into an IC card and integrated with an ITS fee payment card (prepaid card, debit card, credit card, etc.), and the license number is also violated when the fine is collected. By adopting a mechanism of receiving by the detection sensor, the processing can be further simplified and speeded up. By registering the vehicle number when the in-vehicle device for ITS is installed, photographing can be omitted and the violation detection sensor can receive the vehicle number from the in-vehicle device.

Further, by recording the history and statistical information such as the number of violated arrests, the amount of fines collected, the addition of foul points, and notification to violators, it is possible to analyze the behavior of the driver for each road. Becomes

Further, by introducing such a mechanism, from the detection of a violation to collection of a fine, and notification to a violator,
It can also be used to charge contract fees according to the number of arrests and the amount collected when performing business contracts on behalf of the police.
