NOTE
-
This subclass covers:

- identification of traffic offenders; - indicating the position of vehicles for traffic control purposes; - navigation systems for traffic control purposes, i.e. systems in which the navigation is not performed autonomously by or in the vehicles, but where the vehicles are guided by instructions transmitted to them; - indication of free spaces in parking areas.

This subclass does not cover:

- arrangements for measuring levels and bearings for surveillance and navigation, which are covered by G01C; - radio navigation systems, e.g. for locating, measuring distances or velocity, which are covered by G01S; - details of display instrumentation, which are covered by G09F, G09G
