Evaluating Red Light Running Programs in Iowa
نویسندگان
چکیده
As communities across the United States attempt to address red light running (RLR), a number of them have implemented RLR camera-enforcement programs. Since 2004, three Iowa communities—Davenport, Council Bluffs, and Clive—have implemented RLR camera-enforcement programs. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of RLR cameras in these three Iowa communities. A reduction in crashes was evaluated for Council Bluffs and Davenport, and a reduction in the number of RLR violations was evaluated for Clive.

Effects of red light camera enforcement on fatal crashes in large U.S. cities.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effects of red light camera enforcement on per capita fatal crash rates at intersections with signal lights. METHODS From the 99 large U.S. cities with more than 200,000 residents in 2008, 14 cities were identified with red light camera enforcement programs for all of 2004-2008 but not at any time during 1992-1996, and 48 cities were identified without camera program...
متن کاملReducing red light running through longer yellow signal timing and red light camera enforcement: results of a field investigation.
Red light running is estimated to account for 900 intersection crash fatalities annually. Two principal methods used to reduce red light running involve lengthening the duration of yellow change intervals and automated red light enforcement. The present study evaluated the incremental effects on red light running of first lengthening yellow signal timing, followed by the introduction of red lig...
متن کاملA Red-Light Running Prevention System Based on Artificial Neural Network and Vehicle Trajectory Data
The high frequency of red-light running and complex driving behaviors at the yellow onset at intersections cannot be explained solely by the dilemma zone and vehicle kinematics. In this paper, the author presented a red-light running prevention system which was based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to approximate the complex driver behaviors during yellow and all-red clearance and serve as...
متن کاملImpact of the signal control strategy on red light running
This article concerns red-light running at intersections and deals with the impact of different types of control strategies. Red running occurrences at red onset are observed through multi-camera observation system installed on an isolated intersection that runs under different control strategies. We analyse the variety of conditions produced during the phase change interval, in terms of exposu...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Dynamic Dilemma Zone System for a High Speed Rural Intersection
Improving traffic safety is a priority transportation issue. A tremendous amount of resources has been invested on improving safety and efficiency at signalized intersections. Although programs such as driver education, red-light camera deployment, and operational improvements to roadway geometry have all contributed to a safer driving environment, significantly reducing traffic signalrelated c...
