Download or read book THE COMPLETE BOOK ON SPEED ENFORCEMENT written by Kevin M. Morrison and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this unique book is to give the reader a thorough understanding of speed enforcement concepts along with the devices that measure speed and, by means of interesting applications, to prepare them for their implementation in their professional careers. The text starts with a basis for the concept of speed in scientific terms and explores the concepts of speed as they relate to energy and work. The book also investigates both the negative and positive effects that various speeds have on travel and addresses the methodology to determining speed limits. Fundamental to the book are the devices used to measure speed. From the basic concepts of time distance determination through instant speed detection devices such as speed radars and speed lasers, the reader will explore the historical developments, scientific principles, and operational considerations of these devices. These sections are presented in depth with helpful charts and illustrations to assist understanding. The information is presented in easy to understand language to aid the reader in gaining a full grasp of both the scientific and operational differences of each technology along with the operative limitations associated with these technologies. Additionally, the book discusses the concept of voluntary speed compliance and the associated methods of achieving that. Further, the text reviews the elements needed for court scrutiny and acceptance of both speed law violations and the instruments used to measure those speeds and offers actual case examples that emphasize major legal points. The book is written with quantities and units in both U.S. and metric measure. This text is the most up-to-date and comprehensive resource concerning all methods used to monitor and enforce speed laws and is an ideal asset for traffic management courses.

The synthesis describes the requirements, applications, effectiveness, and issues related to the use of ASE technology. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the various types of ASE technology as applied in several localities, including descriptions of operational requirements and performance characteristics of these technologies. The synthesis also discusses how citations are processed, and examines the legal and acceptability issues related to ASE technology and public views on these actions. The various technologies on the market at the time of preparation of this synthesis are also described. It should be noted that, as with any application of public surveillance technology, officials are well advised to exercise proper cautions when employing such enforcement procedures.

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.
