Automated speed enforcement devices. Research performed in cooperation with the State of Texas.

Automated speed enforcement (ASE) devices have been and are being used in many countries to supplement limited enforcement resources. Although these devices have been tried in the U.S., they have not met with great succes. The objectives of this research were: to review how ASE devices have been used as part of an enforcement agency's strategy; to determine what results can be expected from using ASE devices; to identify what legal and political issues could prohibit the use of ASE devices; and to identify what operation problems are associated with using ASE devices.
