Download or read book Evaluation of the Automated Speed Enforcement Program of the City of Regina written by Zi Wang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government of Saskatchewan launched the Automated Speed Enforcement Program in the province of Saskatchewan, aiming to reduce the driving speed at some of the highrisk locations, and, hence, to improve road safety. The program is focused on some high speeding violation and high collision locations on the Highway network, as well as some of the high-risk collision school zone locations in Regina, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Automated Speed Enforcement Program on the school zones-not only on collisions in the school zones, but also speed changes at the speed camera location and adjacent roadways. At the same time, this study evaluates the effectiveness of speed cameras under various conditions. Lastly, regression models were developed using traffic counts, so that traffic engineers and road authorities will be able to determine the benefits of installing the Automated Speed Camera Enforcement System at alternative locations. And, hence, to ensure that a speed camera installed at a particular school zone will achieve its objective. To achieve the objective of the thesis, a large amount and variety of data needed to be obtained, such as vehicle speed, volume, and type, physical road conditions, classification, configuration, and detailed collision data, etc. The program shows an incredibly positive result on lowering driving speed, especially at the camera location. At most of the locations, drivers will try to slow down more at the camera location and drive with a slightly higher speed at both upstream and downstream locations. The compliance rate during summertime is a little bit worse than when school is in session, but most drivers will slow down when passing the school zones during summer break. Unfortunately, the data also shows different results for different directions of traffic. The direction backing the speed camera will have a better result on speed reduction than the opposite direction. Furthermore, comparison of data before and after speed camera installation shows that the Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras significantly reduced the speed. Three equations were generated by doing regression modelling. One equation can predict the actual 85th percentile speed at a school zone location after a speed camera is installed. Another equation can estimate the 85th percentile speed when vehicles pass the automated enforcement camera, but are still within the school zone. The last equation can predict the 85th percentile speed when vehicles have entered the school zone but have not yet reached the speed camera location. The data also shows both the total number of collisions and the severity of collisions has decreased since the program started. Additionally, the program has also obtained public support.

Book Evaluation of the City of Scottsdale Loop 101 Photo Enforcement Demonstration Program

Download or read book Evaluation of the City of Scottsdale Loop 101 Photo Enforcement Demonstration Program written by Simon Washington and published by . 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.

Book Technical Evaluation of Photo Speed Enforcement for Freeways

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.

Book Automated Enforcement for Speeding and Red Light Running

Download or read book Automated Enforcement for Speeding and Red Light Running written by Kimberly A. Eccles and published by Transportation Research Board. 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.

Book Speed Enforcement Program Guidelines

Download or read book Speed Enforcement Program Guidelines written by U S Department of Transportation Nation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well-established that speeding represents a risk to public safety. Excessive speed increases the likelihood of crashing and the risk of severe injury in a crash. In 2005, more than 13,000 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes (NHTSA, 2006a). Reducing speeding is a high-priority objective and effective speed enforcement is an essential countermeasure to reduce speeding and lowering crash risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Highway Administration have developed Speed Enforcement Program Guidelines to provide law enforcement personnel and decision makers with detailed information on how to establish and maintain an effective speed enforcement program. The guidelines were developed with input from many of the most successful law enforcement agencies in the United States and include information that can help establish an effective speed enforcement program, including details on: Program management, Problem identification, Enforcement countermeasures, Role of engineering, Public outreach and communications, Legislation, regulation and policy, and Program evaluation.
