Organized by Ed Stubbing, AECOM
With Road Safety and Congestion Management efforts being key focusses for many agencies across the country, the pressure to identify and implement effective tools to mitigate these pressures continues. Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) has traditionally been used for speed and red-light enforcement in limited instances, however, as technology has advanced ATE solutions have become more accessible, cheaper and often more effective approaches to enforcement compared with traditional practices. Technological developments have also provided a range of new ideas and opportunities that could allow ATE to be used to address other common traffic challenges and regulation infractions.
This workshop will provide attendees with information on current and emerging ATE practices, looking at how new technologies are enabling these opportunities. Topics will include what new areas can technology be used to support enforcement; what are some of the operational considerations and challenges; and what the roadmap to deployment for these solutions could include.
The second half of the Workshop will be a thought gather exercise, exploring how to encourage more pilots and deployments of the technology solutions, how to support industry in developing hardware and software and what new opportunities could arise over the next decade?
So come with an open mind, fresh ideas and be prepared to look into the future to explore where ATE could support our goal for safer and effective road networks in Canada!
