摘要：	With the continuous advancement in technology, more applications for it in the transportation field are arising on a daily basis. A widely used technology in the transportation field is the camera/video technology. Traffic surveillance is one task the camera/video technology is increasingly being used for worldwide. Of the many applications of the camera/video technology in traffic surveillance its use to monitor red light running behavior at signalized intersections is on the rise. Red light violators contribute significantly to the occurrence of right-angle accidents at signalized intersections between vehicles losing the right of way and those gaining it. To better understand red light running behavior at signalized intersections, it is necessary to study drivers' behavior at the onset of the yellow and red signal indications. One method of observing drivers behavior in response to the yellow and red signal indications is video surveillance. One of the objectives of this research was to develop and deploy a video surveillance system that can be used to monitor drivers' behavior in response to the yellow and red signal indications at signalized intersections. To achieve the objectives of this research, an extensive review of the literature was conducted to identify and evaluate surveillance systems and camera technologies used by other researchers. Three systems were identified however, the cost associated with any of the three was beyond the budget for this research. Therefore, an "over the shelf" video surveillance system was developed that captured the same type of data captured by the other three systems at one third of the cost. It is recommended that research efforts be geared towards the development of economically feasible surveillance and monitoring systems. Such efforts would enable the smaller communities to deploy Intelligent Transportation System technologies to their transportation networks.
