Resumen

This paper presents an in-vehicle system for alerting drivers about their traffic offences. The system consists in combination of an on-board computer vision system for traffic signs detection with a data recorder device for monitoring travel parameters. At present, the traffic offences alerts are focused on speed limit, stop sign, and forbidden turning. The warnings in form of acoustical messages are emitted through the vehicle loudspeakers, and they are issued with sufficient time to provide the driver with enough time to react to the on-coming traffic situation. Offences information as well as travel parameters such as vehicle speed and position are saved in a data-base for an off-line analysis. The prototype was tested in real scene under different lighting conditions and showed reasonable results
