摘要: |
The objective of this research was to document the process and equipment needed to build and operate a traffic violation database that would allow law enforcement to scientifically document problem locations to more efficiently and effectively deploy their resources. The database would be capable of archiving violation data related to red-light running, highway-railroad grade crossing gate violations and speeding. Designing, developing and implementing the traffic violation database system involves assembling a collection of resources including: software, hardware, capital, staff and training. These resources must then be integrated in an effective and efficient manner. Implementation of a traffic violation database system can be accomplished in several ways, from developing and operating the entire system in-house to outsourcing key components to independent contractors. Outsourcing could be in the form of installation and maintenance of hardware to custom database creation. Twelve essential steps were identified in the development and successful operation of a traffic violation database. The basic structure of the traffic violation database is based upon the results of a law enforcement survey. Recommendations are made concerning violation detection equipment, including the placement of inductive loops, the use of a custom made processing unit that allows remote access connection data downloading, and the use of laser radar to detect vehicle speed. |
