The use of automated enforcement systems offers the potential to decrease the number of red light violations and improve the safety of intersections. Included in this report are an evaluation of the operating conditions where automated enforcement was effective, a study of the legal, legislative, and social issues needed to implement a program, a review of the current technology being used for automated enforcement, and a review of previous and current automated enforcement of red light applications in the United States and abroad. A strategy to create and implement an automated enforcement program for red light violations was established. The implementation strategy was then demonstrated using a hypothetical application. The results of a survey of professionals (automated enforcement program representatives, law enforcement officials, manufacturers of automated enforcement technology, research engineers and scientists) and a state-of-the-art literature survey were incorporated into this report.
