Abstract Law enforcement is considered an important contributor for maintaining traffic safety. However, limited resources, such as staff and funds, constrain the efforts of police in traffic law enforcement. New technologies such as automated enforcement may offer a partial solution to this problem. Information on automated enforcement devices currently being used in the areas of speed enforcement, red-light traffic signal enforcement, and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane enforcement is provided in the report through summaries and discussions of current technology, experiences in the use of automated enforcement devices, legal issues, and public acceptance of automated enforcement. Examples of experiences include the use of portable billboard speed displays in Richardson, Texas, and Glendale, Arizona, as well as the use of automated speed enforcement devices in Arlington, Texas; Galveston County and LaMarque, Texas; Paradise Valley, Arizona; Pasadena, California; and Peoria, Arizona. Automated HOV lane enforcement experiences from Virginia, California, and Seattle, Washington, and red-light enforcement in Pasadena, California, and New York City are also discussed. Legal issues associated with automated enforcement include photographing of the driver, mailing the citation to the owner of the photographed vehicle, and requiring the owner of the vehicle to identify the driver at the time of the offense. 17.

However, limited resources, such as staff and funds, constrain the efforts of police in traffic law enforcement. New technologies such as automated enforcement may offer a partial solution to this problem. Information on automated enforcement devices currently being used in the areas of speed enforcement, red-light traffic signal enforcement, and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane enforcement is provided in the report through summaries and discussions of current technology, experiences in the use of automated enforcement devices, legal issues, and public acceptance of automated enforcement. Examples of experiences include the use of portable billboard speed displays in Richardson, Texas, and Glendale, Arizona, as well as the use of automated speed enforcement devices in Arlington, Texas; Galveston County and La.Marque, Texas; Paradise Valley, Arizona; Pasadena, California; and Peoria, Arizona. Automated HOV lane enforcement experiences from Virginia, California, and Seattle, Washington, and red-light enforcement in Pasadena, California, and New York City are also discussed. Legal issues associated with automated enforcement include photographing of the driver, mailing the citation to the owner of the photographed vehicle, and requiring the owner of the vehicle to identify the driver at the time of the offense. IMPLEMENTATION STATEMENT The information contained in this report should be useful to agencies considering the use of automated enforcement. The report provides information on speed limit enforcement, red­ light traffic signal enforcement, and high-occupancy vehicle lane enforcement. It contains a summary of the current technology and the experiences different agencies have had in using automated enforcement devices. The Legal Issues section provides an introduction to legal issues associated with the use of automated enforcement devices by providing information on existing and potential legal challenges to the use of these devices. The Public Acceptance section, as well as information from the Experiences section, provides insight into issues that an agency may want to consider prior to using automated enforcement.

Abstract Safety hazards are increased in highway work zones as the dynamics of a work zone introduce a constantly changing environment with varying levels of risk. Excessive speeding through work and maintenance zones is a common occurrence which elevates the dangers to both drivers and motorists in the work zone. Although most work zones are controlled by reduced speed limits or state law enforcement, driver adherence to these regulations and laws in very minimal, especially in work zones.

  • Traffic Law Enforcement: a Review of the Literature
    MONASH UNIVERSITY TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE by Dominic Zaal April 1994 Report No. 53 This project was undertaken by Dominic Zaal of the Federal Office of Road Safety, Department of Transport while on secondment to the Monash University Accident Research Centre. The research was carried out during an overseas consignment for the Institute of Road Safety Research (SWOV), Leidschendam, The Netherlands. ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Date ISBN Pages 53 April 1994 0 7326 0052 9 212 Title and sub-title: Traffic Law Enforcement: A review of the literature Author(s): Zaal, D Sponsoring Organisation(s): Institute for Road Safety Research (SWOV) PO Box 170 2260 AD Leidschendam The Netherlands Abstract: A study was undertaken to review the recent Australian and international literature relating to traffic law enforcement. The specific areas examined included alcohol, speed, seat belts and signalised intersections. The review documents the types of traffic enforcement methods and the range of options available to policing authorities to increase the overall efficiency (in terms of cost and human resources) and effectiveness of enforcement operations. The review examines many of the issues related to traffic law enforcement including the deterrence mechanism, the effectiveness of legislation and the type of legal sanctions administered to traffic offenders. The need to use enforcement in conjunction with educational and environmental/engineering strategies is also stressed. The use of educational programs and measures targeted at modifying the physical and social environment is also briefly reviewed. The review highlights the importance of developing enforcement strategies designed to maximise deterrence whilst increasing both the perceived and actual probability of apprehension.

The major purpose of vehicle speed detection is to provide a number of ways that law enforcement agencies can enforce traffic speed laws. The most famous methods include using RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) devices to detect the speed of a vehicle. RADAR use microwaves pules and LIDAR use coherent light beam for speed calculation. The SDCS (Speed Detection Camera System) and SMBI (Single Motion Blurred Image) method are also use on high traffic area to measure speed of vehicle using video stream and single image captured by stationary camera.
