This Invention provides for a method and system for speed measurement
verification. The method comprises the step of automatically measuring
the speed of a vehicle traveling on a surface which includes a fixed
marker at a predetermined distance from a point where the speed of the
vehicle is measured. The measured speed is automatically compared to a
predetermined speed limit and if the speed limit is exceeded, the next
step involves automatically calculating a time delay, which time delay is
calculated according to the measured speed and the predetermined distance
so as to predict when the vehicle, if traveling at the measured speed,
will reach the marker. An image is then captured with a camera directed
at the marker after expiration of the time delay so that, if the measured
speed is accurate, the vehicle will be positioned proximate the marker so
that the captured image showing the vehicle relative to the marker is
able to serve as verification of the accuracy of the measured speed.
