A resource allocation model for traffic enforcement

A method has been developed to establish the crash reduction benefits of increases in each type of traffic enforcement applied to an appropriate road environment. This method has been based on numerous studies linking enforcement levels with road crashes and/or injury severity in the Australian States and internationally. Economic analysis of the crash savings and costs from investment in each type of traffic enforcement has shown that mobile speed cameras and random drug tests provide the highest benefit-cost ratios
