Impact studies of automated enforcement system implementation
Automated Enforcement System (AES) was finally implemented in Malaysia in September 2013. Currently the AES cameras are able to detect the violation of speeding and red light running. At the early stage, the cameras were installed at 14 locations; 10 locations for speeding violation and four locations for red light running. Four studies were carried out in order to assess the effectiveness of the programme. The studies were related to observation of compliance with speed limit and traffic light as well as the perception and acceptance of road users towards the AES implementation. The studies were carried out before and after the programme implementation. The studies reveal that before the AES cameras were installed, the compliance with speed limit was on average of 63% on weekdays and it increased to 91% after camera installation. Meanwhile the analysis on the weekends shows 60% speed limit compliance but increased to 90% after AES implementation. A statistical analysis was conducted and it proved that the increase in speed limit compliance is statistically significant at four locations on weekdays and five locations on weekends. The red light running violation was at 4.3% during the before period and decreased to 2.2% after the camera was installed. The survey studies among road users show a positive change among drivers in terms of the speed limit and traffic light compliance after the implementation of AES camera at the study locations. Before the AES implementation, a majority of respondents considered the likelihood of being summoned for speeding and red light running was less than 70%.
