THE PURPOSE WAS TO DEVELOP AND "DE-BUG" PREFERRED COST-EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS TO SAMPLE AND RECORD TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. THIS REPORT PROVIDES THE DETAILED STUDIES CONDUCTED TO EVALUATE CANDIDATE SYSTEMS FOR MEASURING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS, AND IT PRESENTS THE RESULTS OF FIELD TESTS OF THOSE SYSTEMS WHICH WERE SHOWN TO BE THE MOST PROMISING FOR GENERAL APPLICATION.
