Automated Speed Enforcement Deployment and Planning

This project investigates the deployment and operation of automated speed enforcement (ASE) as an emerging enforcement technology in the City of Vaughan, which uses cameras to detect speeding at select locations. The complexities of deployment lie in choosing camera locations with the highest deterrence impact on speeding and the periodic relocation of the cameras, which is standard industry practice to reduce over-familiarization of drivers with camera locations. The objectives of this study are to: 1- analyze traffic accident and speeding violations data to select potential locations for the deployment of cameras, 2- optimize a plan for relocating speed cameras at specific cycles, and 3- develop interactive visualization tools to present the impact ASE on speeding violations in the City of Vaughan.
