“…Results indicated that 25 times more RLR violations occurred at approaches with no enforcement than where RLR cameras were in place. A complete discussion of results for Council Bluffs and Clive is presented in the project report (17 ).…”

Red light running (RLR) is a serious safety issue that results in more than 100,000 crashes and 1,000 fatalities annually. In Iowa, RLR accounts for 21% of total crashes at signalized intersections and 35% of fatal and major-injury crashes at signalized intersections, according to data analyzed from 2001 to 2006. As transportation agencies struggle to address RLR, they turn increasingly to the use of red light camera enforcement. In Iowa, three communities currently use RLR camera enforcement. One of the communities, Davenport, installed cameras in 2004; 2 years of crash data after installation were available for analysis. A Bayesian statistical before-and-after analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of Davenport's RLR cameras. The analysis included control intersections. The results of the analysis indicated that the cameras were effective in reducing total crashes and RLR crashes. Results also indicated that rear-end crashes related to RLR did not increase at camera-enforced intersections.

“…According to the Ruby and Hobeika [20], the installation of these systems reduced the red light violation cases to 0.17 to 7 vehicles per 10.000 cars from 2 to 11 vehicles. Fitzsimmons et al [9] investigated the effects of these systems on the number of accidents that occurred at intersections. From the analyzes it was concluded that the total number of accidents at intersections was reduced by 44%, the rear-front collisions were reduced by 40% and non rear-front collisions were reduced by 90%.…”

“…The When Table 1 is examined, it can be seen that the ratios of the traffic accidents at intersections have a fixed value over years and no significant decrease was observed. Many studies carried out around the world also indicated that the drivers are not disciplined in utilizing the lanes and speedy driving, red light violations were among the important problems affecting the traffic safety and increasing the road accidents [2,[8][9][10]. In their study, Coruh et al [2]found that the fast rate of urbanization, along with increasing employment rates, places significant strain on have an important effect on traffic accidents for Turkey.…”

In recent years, intelligent transportation systems are under a continuous development which are the direct integration of TECS) and they are considered under different categories such as intelligent intersection systems, vehicle counting systems, safety strip violation detection systems, speed violation detection systems, speed corridors, red light violation detection systems and parking violation detection systems. Within the scope of this study, the performance of a red light violation system installed at the 4-leg signalized intersection at Antalya-Burdur highway entrance of Celtikci district belonging to the TECS was investigated by implementing a new proposed methodology.According to the performance analysis of the system, it was found that system has maximum 2 seconds error limit and its performance was found appropriate for all conditions (green to red, red to green, all green and all red). This study also demonstrated that the new measurement method accurately measures the performance of the system by examining all measurement possibilities.

“…Installation of this system in 254 UK cities resulted the reduction of fatal and injury accidents by 18% (Traffic Technology Today 2009). The study in the United States has determined that after installation of this system the number of accidents at the intersections has decreased by 44% (Fitzsimmons et al 2007).…”

One of the biggest problems of constantly growing transport sector is traffic safety. Innovative technologies are an effective tool to deal with the following issue. In order to ensure efficient and coordinated development of intelligent transport systems, it is essential to know their individual performance and impact on traffic safety. This article gives the summary of the effect of intelligent transport systems on road traffic safety. The aim of the research is to highlight intelligent transport systems and intelligent transport systems applications which have the greatest positive impact on traffic safety. To achieve this aim, meta-analysis of previous studies and analysis of experts interviews was carried out. The research consider the following thirteen driver support and control systems regarding their potentials to reduce the number of fatalities: average speed control system, stationary speed cameras, “Alcolock” ‒ application of drunk driver detection, “eCall” system, variable speed limit sign, red light violation detection cameras, forbidden maneuver detection system, vehicle identification system, variable message boards, intelligent road studs, incident detection system, weighin- motion system and seat belt control system.
