How do video cameras work for monitoring vehicle occupancy requirement violation in HOV lanes?
In HOV lanes, the method of enforcement requires observation of the interior of vehicles to check the appropriate number of occupants. A typical strategy for this includes installing three or more cameras with artificial lighting sources to capture the front windshield image, the side window image, and the rear license plate image. The semi-automatic review process notes when a violation has occurred and electronically saves the images of the vehicle’s interior and its license plate information. The cameras record the date, time, lane number, location and speed of the vehicle. This information is included on the notice of violation and is then evaluated by sworn members of the Police Department to verify that a violation has occurred and to determine whether a notice of violation should be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
