The automated traffic enforcement services are provided through automated systems to identify vehicles violating the traffic laws and regulations using various imaging and automated recognition technologies. Ultimately, the services are aimed at preventing traffic accidents and
ensuring traffic safety in a more efficient manner.
By providing these services, the city seeks not only more efficient enforcement, but also fairer and more transparent enforcement.
The agencies in charge of traffic enforcement can use such services to manage their manpower more efficiently. It can also facilitate the handling of other related work– such as the manual enforcement and issuance of parking tickets.
