QUALITY CONTROL MODEL FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL PERSONNEL.

To help traffic departments build up information systems about traffic offences, a quality control model has been developed, which can be used in taking decisions about selective or stricter law enforcement. The traffic department sets a maximum target level for each type of offence in its control area and it can attempt to to keep the offence rate below this level by regularly checking on a sample of say 100 road users. Since there will always be random fluctuations in the number of offenders the calculations even for a fixed sample size and for a fixed target level must take into account the standard deviation of the binomial distribution.
