yes, based on road infrastructure there are also other systems already in
use. In Italy there is a camera based system called "tutor" which does
number plate recognition on motorways to calculate the individual average
speed with the scope of issuing speeding tickets, and they also claim that
they'd delete the data as soon as they can see that you didn't drive too
fast ;-)
