Abstract
A process and a system for receiving compressed streaming video image data, simultaneously and continuously from a plurality of mobile sources, which stamp the data with time, location, and source identification. The data is processed by converting the location stamps to road vector identifications. The time, road vector and source are compared with those of other data received previously and being received concurrently to develop and revise a record comprising a reference to the most recent data, for each road vector and the speed of the mobile source. The data is stored and is retrieved by selected road vector, to display a continuous and coherent video image of the most recently recorded view at the selected road vector, together with the speed of the data source.
