Video Enforcement for HOV Lanes: Field Test Results for the I-30 HOV Lane in Dallas

摘要

The report documents a study conducted to assess and test promising technologies for HOV land enforcement. After a qualitative assessment of video, automatic vehicle identification, and infrared machine vision technologies, the study was suspended because no preferred infrared technology was available for testing. The study was resumed when a vendor demonstrated promising video technology. The high-occupancy vehicle enforcement and review (HOVER) system was then developed for an operational test on the East R.L. Thorton (I-30) contraflow HOV lane in Dallas, Texas.
