Car over-speeding detection using time-distance approximation

Existing speed traps use cameras installed at fixed positions to detect the overspeeding vehicle. However, observant drivers can evasively slow down when approaching the proximity of the speed cameras.

description Existing speed traps use cameras installed at fixed positions to detect the overspeeding vehicle. However, observant drivers can evasively slow down when approaching the proximity of the speed cameras.

Instead of using on-the-spot speed data, Catch calculates the average driving time for a journey (point A to B) and compare the elapsed time against the permitted timestamps based on the route-specific speed limit. For example, a vehicle is flagged as overspeeding if it completes a 100KM journey within 1 hour on a route with a speed limit of 100KM/h.
