Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et des procédés destinés à définir, surveiller et signaler des événements d'infractions potentielles au code de la route, de mouvement ou de stationnement, au moyen d'au moins certains extraits vidéo s'y rapportant et le cas échéant, d'images fixes. Le système permet de détecter et de collecter efficacement des preuves dans le but d'établir hors ligne des contraventions se rapportant à des infractions au code de la route. Le système surveille divers types d'infractions au code de la route définies pour un lieu ou un cas particulier et dont le suivi est généralement complexe. Le système peut être stationnaire, en étant par exemple installé sur un poteau, ou mobile en étant par exemple installé sur un véhicule de patrouille, ou être emporté par une personne telle qu'un agent de police ou un agent de la circulation. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le système peut également être utilisé pour l'établissement en temps réel de contraventions ainsi que pour l'envoi d'une notification au propriétaire d'un véhicule immatriculé.
