Automated Traffic Enforcement System
Automatic Traffic Enforcement systems or Automatic Photo Enforcement Systems are one of a wide range of measures that are effective at reducing vehicle speeds and crashes. The Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) system is an enforcement technique with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles traveling at speeds above a defined threshold. Images captured by the ATE system are processed and reviewed in an office environment and violation notices are mailed to the registered owner of the identified vehicle. The ATE system operates using digital technology with either unmanned or manned unique digital technology that is installed at the roadside where traffic violations are automatically detected by the system. When a violation occurs, the ATE system takes numerous digital images. A zoom shot is taken showing the vehicle license plate, then a wide angle shot showing make, model and color. Finally, after a short delay dependant on vehicle speed, another image is taken showing that the offending vehicle is in motion at the time of offense. In addition, a video sequence can be captured to show the offense. Along with digital images of the offense taking place, the Automatic Traffic Enforcement system will record data that is relevant to the specific location and offense. The images are encrypted and then stored, ready to be sent to the central system.
Speeding, defined as driving too fast for conditions, is one of the major contributing factors in crashes, deaths and injuries on roadways. Engineering, enforcement, and educational speed management techniques must be integrated and coordinated to effectively manage speed. Automatic Traffic Enforcement systems are one of a wide range of measures that are effective at reducing vehicle speeds and crashes when used correctly and in the appropriate circumstances. The fundamental objective underlying the use of ATE systems in school zones is straightforward: to encourage a change in driver behavior and increase driver awareness of speed‐related crashes through a program involving public education, attitude change, and special visible enforcement.
