Attention is paid to automatic policing and information systems. It appears that at present non-compliance to traffic laws and regulations already is severely impeding the safety and efficiency of the road traffic system. It is likely that the functioning of many of the Radio Traffic Information (RTI) systems under development will be highly sensitive to non-compliance. In theory, many possibilities for automatic enforcement exist, but the feasibility of such systems is at present unclear. Cost, fraud and public and political resistance will severely limit the possibilities of implementing such systems. For this reason the different components of the systems (on-site versus in-vehicle and detection, feedback registration and processing) have to be considered quite separately.
