Problem Statement

Thousands of casualties and fatalities occur due to excessive speeding and/or drunk driving

Predictable law enforcement strategies Stationary Cameras Habitual location of officers

Illegal immigration rises every year Rising operational costs (fuel, salaries, etc…)

create increased strain on city and state budgets

Scarcity of resources in border regions and high crime areas

Functional Analysis Input – Function - Output

Inputs: Speeding/Erratic vehicles Motion along border

Function: Detecting, identifying, and reporting speeding

vehicles and erratic driving behavior Monitoring borders and alerting border patrol to

illegal immigrants and drug smugglers Output:

Decrease in traffic/border violators Lower operational expenses and better

allocation of scarce resources

Derived Requirements Technical Requirements:

Light weight digital cameras with high zoom capability (3 miles)

Cameras have night and thermal vision capability Cameras run on solar power for the majority of

the day Real-Time communication capability for each

observation unit Rail system to support observation units Control Center receives and interprets all signals

with the ability to control individual units

System Validation

Currently stationary cameras are employed in traffic environments

High resolution cameras are in use by the Department of Defense

Vehicle database is already established Technological capabilities to identify shapes

through thermal imaging exist Yearly production and operational costs of

individual units are well below costs of training, equipping, and deploying officers.

Use Case Model

Centralized Dispatch Unit
