| OBJECTIVES |
|
The PEPPER project aims to enhance the effectiveness
and efficiency of the police enforcement of road traffic, by: |
|
| |
- Describing and analysing the way traffic law enforcement functions
in Member States and how it contributes to national road safety
work. Exploring different stakeholders' views of traffic enforcement
in Member States and EU.
|
- Exploring and analysing possibilities of advanced technology
such as machine vision, positioning technologies and new wireless
technologies in the detection of violations, traffic enforcement
data transfer and communication, paying attention to cost-effectiveness
and cross-border enforcement.
|
- Developing enforcement data collection systems and databases
for monitoring of the use of enforcement resources and describing
the impacts on road user behaviour and road safety. Identifying
the data needs of the police for strategic and tactical planning
of operations. Conducting pilot studies in order to test the
availability of comparable European wide traffic enforcement
data.
|
- Evaluating the impacts of enforcement on road user behaviour
and accidents. Exploring and making recommendations for good
practices in traffic law enforcement, based on scientific analysis
of the effects. Analysing the cost-effectiveness of various
enforcement methods and targets. Developing indicators for the
effectiveness of traffic law enforcement.
|
- Developing a series of dissemination activities.
|
- Summarising main findings.
