Implications of innovative technology for traffic law enforcement.A conclusion from the 6th FP project PEPPER (Police Enforcement Policy and Programs on European Roads).

摘要

This paper presents the work that has been completed in the PEPPER project. The aim of this task has been to assess implications of innovative technologies for the EU defined key areas in traffic safety: speed, drink driving, and use of restraint systems. The paper gives an overview of the most relevant enforcement technologies and systems used today and the potentialities envisaged for those to be deployed in the near future. Enforcement technologies have demonstrated to have a positive effect on safety but the legal/jurisdictional requirements and socio-political contexts often constitute a significant refrain to their deployment.
