At present automated speed enforcement system in Korea control overspeed vehicle only in the specific spot. Because the drivers generally recognize the previous stated fact, they reduce a speed only in the establishment location of systems and increase rapidly again as soon as it passes the location. we have known that the rate of traffic risk at the tunnel, bridge and curve road segment is higher than other road section. Therefore, it needs speed control in them. In such a case, it is necessary to establish the automated traffic enforcement system based on the travel time speed of an individual vehicle over a pre defined stretch of road. In this study, the application limit of existing spot overspeed enforcement system was studied through an analysis of traffic flow characteristics in the tunnel, bridge and curve section. Also we found out the optimal distance of segment and the most suitable location to an application of the overspeed vehicle by travel time speed through an analysis of the road structure, traffic condition and accident numbers in the road.

The number of traffic control equipment installed to prevent traffic accidents increases every year due to continuous installation by the National Police Agency and local governments. However, it is installed based on qualitative judgment rather than engineering analysis results. The purpose of this study was to present additional installations in the future by presenting the installation criteria considering the severity of accidents for each road type and calculating the appropriate number of installations. ARI indicators that can indicate the severity of traffic accidents were developed, and road types were classified through analysis of variance and cluster analysis, and accident information by road type was analyzed to derive ARI of clusters with high traffic accident severity. The ARI values required to determine the installation of equipment for each road type were presented, and 5,244 additional installation points were analyzed.

Since 1996, Korean National Police Agency has been promoting a project for installation of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) system aiming at reduction of accidents. The number has increased to 5,348 stations throughout country as of December 2012. Recently, the Section Speed Enforcement Systems have been installed at many sites to produce a general effect well beyond the localised effect at overt fixed camera sites. In this study aims, we have analyzed the effects of the Section Speed Enforcement System at the Misiryeong tunnel section. We have found that there were a statistically significant 21.4%~31.% reduction of the average speed and 45.9% reduction in a number of traffic accidents per month. Accordingly, the study indicates that the Section Speed Enforcement Systems at Misiryeong tunnel section has effective to produce road safety.

In this paper, we suggested the integration between automatic enforcement system and UTIS(Urban Traffic Information System) base station. UTIS base station and automatic enforcement system are different in the height of installation and the type of communication network. UTIS base station is 25 meter high and communicate with center system by optical network. Whereas automatic enforcement system is 6.6 meter high and communicate with center system by rental network. For the purpose of suggesting the efficient method of integration, research was as in the following. We found that the number of integrated system was 1,628 through the present state of analysis and UTIS equipment was satisfied with the required specifications through field testing. Also we suggested the appropriate configuration of the integrated system and analyzed that the cost of the integrated system installment is 1/5 lower than that of the legacy system installment.

Even if the traffic light is green, if vehicles enter a jammed intersection, they are violation of the law. The police is enforcing law as a part of a nation wide campaign. Because, using the camcorder, the police can not do enforcement the offending vehicle, there are other techniques. Our research group proposed automated photographic equipment enable to enforce moving violation in intersection. Using new license plate recognition technology and backtracking technology to trace the offending vehicle, once the system detects a violator, it records 8 wide pictures and 1picture from the front vehicle, showing it enter and proceed through the intersection. Field experimental results obtained in the system, the following conclusions. The three measures of effectiveness investigated were recognition rate 83.5, mis-match recognition rate 1.5%.

In Korea the vehicle enforcement system(VES) detects speeding vehicle using two inductive loop detectors. And the speed reliability of theirs are evaluated through the analysis of image frame which is captured from video camera. This method is validated to evaluate VES on Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme(KOLAS) but it needs much time and expense for the analysis of image frame. Because the number of VES are increasing rapidly, the requirement of new evaluation method is necessary. On this paper, the tape switch sensor as a substitution of existing method was introduced and its application on the site are discussed. On the site test we compared the tape switch sensor on the speed measurement of vehicle with the video image frame. As a result we have founded that the tape switch sensor is evaluated to be feasible system on site in respect to measure the overspeed vehicle.

We frequently confront with cars interfering into our lane on the ramp. We suffered from serious traffic congestion due to the interfering cars. But the police enforcement has not done actively because it's hard to enforce. In this study, we have evaluated the systems to enforce cutting-in cars through the field test. Generally, the image processing method depends on the weather. To overcome this limitation we proposed a new algorithm combined with section detection method. In the filed test we concluded the results as follows. Whereas the violation detection rate of the general image processing was 58.2%, a new algorithm proposed by this study was 74.5%. And, an error rate enforcing vehicles that do not violate was 0.0%. Also, we can use the existing facilities, such as street light because of compact and lightweight systems which are integrated camera with controller. Therefore, we concluded that it is possible to enforce the interfering Cars using vehicle enforcement systems.

In a low speed limit environment, the speed limit tolerance of automated traffic enforcement devices is very high, which is one of the main factors for the low compliance rate. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to the improve the speed limit tolerance and to present a new standard. The effects of the operator and user errors that can cause speeding by drivers were analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, an improvement of the tolerance was proposed by applying an error in the enforcement device and GPS speed. In addition, long-term expected safety effects such as the accident rate and severity were estimated from the operator's perspective when improving the tolerance. As a result of the estimation, the speed limit compliance rate, accident rate, and change rate of a number of severe accidents due to speed change, and pedestrian traffic accident mortality rate were all improved in all speed limit environments. The introduction of the proposed improvement is expected to improve road safety significantly.
