1. A method comprising: acquiring, by a video acquisition module utilizing at least hardware, a digitized video comprising pixel data; performing pixel differentiation to locate differentiations in the pixel data in a video frame of the digitized video, by a pixel differentiation module; defining an area of interest in the pixel data of the video frame, by the pixel differentiation module, the area of interest comprising a pool of light produced by a headlight of a vehicle on the ground with an identifiable edge in front of the vehicle; and detecting attribute information of the area of interest by an attribute detector to track edges of the pool of light to determine a distance and a sideways separation of the vehicle and to compare the edges with other attribute information for the vehicle to determine a speed of the vehicle.
