Safety Effectiveness and Safeguards of Electronic Traffic Enforcement

Traffic electronic enforcement facilities were carried out widely in china, but its application effectiveness was lack to system evaluation. The time distribution, types, cause and severity degree of traffic accidents were comparatively studied on the basis of datum which were collected before and after the implementation of traffic electronic enforcement facilities, and the existing problems of traffic safety were concluded at signalized intersection after implementing traffic electronic enforcement. The analysis showed that traffic electronic enforcement could obviously improve the condition of traffic safety at signalized intersection, especially restrain the traffic accidents significantly which were caused by illegal driving that traffic electronic enforcement facilities could detect, but the severity degree of traffic accidents tended to worse. In order to improving the condition of traffic safety in the environment of traffic electronic enforcement, the safeguards should be set up from the aspects of education, engineering and management. The conclusion was helpful to guiding the scientific application of traffic electronic enforcement in china.
