Here in the UK the Police and Local Authorities already use similar systems.
Speeding on motorways, speed trap cameras can capture vehicle registration numbers, and speed at the time and date,of the alleged offence, grab vehicle owner details from DVLC and send a notice of speeding/fine direct to the offender/owner.
London Metropolitan Area, has automatic vehicle recognition camera systems throughout Inner and Outer London to capture and charge vehicle owners the London Congestion Charge.
So, such systems are already in place. Are you reinventing the wheel?

Hey ya'all..
I have this project idea I want to design and need your assistance in finding the most feasible way of doing it..
Okay the project is to design a system that captures the speed of a car (or any road vehicle) and sends it a computer that has software which 1) determines the location of the vehicle and (can maybe use a map interface to show the location kinda like Google maps
) and 2) reports via the GUI whether the vehicle is speeding or under the speed limit...and prints out a log
...
My questions are are:
1) How to easily construct the gauging and transmitting device...and possible programming options (for instance, will i require custom made microchips or maybe write code that can be integrated with a sim card (GSM) usage, etc)
2) What is the best and far reaching communication method that the transmitter on the vehicle can use to communicate with the computer/server? (Taking into account long distances, costs and usability)
3) and ideas on the operating software, how it receives, deciphers and reacts to the info from the transmission device and GUI?
