This project accelerates testing, evaluation, and implementation of technologies that will support compliance with traffic control devices. This proposal targets technologies associated with red-light-running detection equipment and determines its potential for enforcement and as a behavior modification approach to reduce red-light-running violation incidents and accidents.

One such effort is a jointly funded project between the FHWA, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Federal Railroad Administration. The Los Angeles County (California) Transportation Commission is conducting a project on its Metro Blue Line. Camera equipment has been installed at several intersections and enforcement efforts have begun. Other similar efforts are being conducted at railroad grade crossings and at highway intersections in Florida, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

These projects are in various stages of development and will likely continue over the next 24 months. Final reports will be submitted at the end of each test and evaluation effort.
