This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speeding is recognized as one of the most important factors causing traffic crashes. In 2005, 30% of all fatal crashes were speeding-related (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2005). According to NHTSA, the cost of speed-related crashes is estimated to be $40.4 billion per year (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2005). Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) now exist to reduce speeding-related crashes by enforcing speed limits with camera-based technologies. These enforcement technologies are generically called "speed cameras" and have been effective on municipal streets and arterials in Arizona. The City of Scottsdale began automated enforcement efforts in December of 1996. On October 25, 2005, the Scottsdale City Council approved the nine-month speed enforcement camera demonstration program on a 7.8-mile stretch of the SR 101 segment within Scottsdale. The speed enforcement program (SEP) began on January 22, 2006 and ended on October 23, 2006. The demonstration program on the SR 101 freeway segment in Scottsdale is the first use of the fixed-site photo enforcement equipment on a freeway in Arizona and is believed to be the first in the nation. This study was conducted to estimate the impact of the SEP on traffic safety, speed, speeding behavior, and daily travel time uncertainty. More specifically, the objectives were to estimate: the impact of the SEP on speeding behavior; the changes in mean speed due to the SEP; the impact of the SEP on traffic safety in the enforcement zone; the total travel time impacts; and the economic impacts of the safety effects.

Download or read book Technical Evaluation of Photo Speed Enforcement for Freeways written by Craig A. Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme speeding on urban-area freeways contributes to increased crashes resulting in fatalities, property damage, and increased maintenance and public safety costs. Photo speed enforcement systems (speed cameras) that automatically sense a speeding vehicle and photograph it and its driver have proven effective at reducing speeding violations, primarily on city streets and arterials. The use of this technology on high-volume, high-speed, multi-lane freeways is technically much more challenging, and largely untested. This research investigates if the current offerings of vendors can provide a viable technical solution in this freeway environment. Twelve ideal characteristics were established that are needed for a speed camera system to operate on Phoenix, Arizona, metro-area freeways. Six vendors were interviewed. Thirteen agencies that use speed camera systems were interviewed, although none were found with sufficient freeway operating experience to provide definitive information to design a field trial. Therefore, only a conceptual field trial and accompanying test plan were developed to explore the technical aspects of potential systems. Public opinion and countermeasures on speed camera systems were researched and reported. No current vendor offering meets all of the twelve ideal characteristics that were established. Advancements in speed camera systems continue, and it is logical to predict that they can be met in the future. One new technology that shows promise is "point-to-point," which tracks average speed between two points on a roadway. This research did not address the violation processing and management activities, but noted that these must be addressed before a field trial can proceed.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to find out which automated enforcement programs have been successful and what contributed to their success, as well as which programs have been unsuccessful and to draw lessons from their experiences. This was accomplished through a comprehensive assessment of automated speed and red light running enforcement activity in the United States and Canada, which led to the development of guidelines to assist agencies in implementing and operating successful automated enforcement programs. Over 350 jurisdictions with current or past automated enforcement programs were contacted by survey and phone as part of the assessment. In addition to the survey, an extensive literature review was conducted to determine the effect of the programs, cost effectiveness, and resource requirements, and to get the perspective of the public.
