Cooperative Vehicular Identification Systems and Methods, capable of
monitoring and recording vehicular law violations, with the assistance
and cooperation of the vehicles in violation, are disclosed. Real-time
information from vehicular sensors is communicated to a Central
Processing Unit (CPU). Strategically located Interrogator devices, on
roads/highways, at intersections, in and around school zones, integrated
with traffic lights, etc., issue inquiries/interrogations to passing-by
vehicles. Vehicles proximate to such Interrogators respond with unique
identifying information and with parameter lists provided by their
vehicular sensors. Each Interrogator inquiry can provide data, including
the lawful parameter limits (i.e. speed limit) associated with its
location. In response to having successfully decoded an inquiry, and in
response to the state of its vehicular sensors, a vehicular Transponder
may transmit information to the specific Interrogator that has issued an
inquiry. The Interrogator then relays relevant identifying information to
the CPU for further processing.
