Abstract:

 


Average
speed enforcement is a new traffic safety measure that is used increasingly in
recent years. The advantage of this enforcement system is that the average
speed of drivers can be recorded along a whole section in order to determine whether
they obey the speed limits or not. In this study, the speeding behavior and
violation behaviors of drivers were quantified in accordance with only the
traffic signs and the provided speed limits with no penal sanctions on 11
sections at the Akdeniz University with speed limits of 20, 30 and 50 km/h.Two month average travel speeds of each vehicle that
passes from the application sections were measured via mobile average speed
enforcement system without announcing to the drivers which were then analyzed
via Independent
Sample t test.The results of the speed study indicate that they
differ on sections with different physical properties according to the
preferences of drivers.Low compliance in general to the speed limits indicate
non-optimal speed limits. A higher compliance to
the speed limits may be ensured by an enforcement measure in the follow-up of
the violations.
