Traffic in Europe is increasing permanently and accident rates are still on a high level.
For achieving the urgent required higher safety levels and to improve traffic flows on motorways a new integrated and efficient approach must be designed in an open architecture - to avoid mainly the severe accidents.
FAIR will contribute strongly to achieve this target of the Commission in essential areas for road safety. European Commission launched 21 October in 2003 a recommendation on enforcement in the field of road safety. The recommendation makes clear statements about the use of automated methods in traffic management and control
- Automated methods are effective; current solutions are outdated; the adoption of automated methods is slow in most European countries and authorities are reluctant to use them
- Enforcement needs commitment and dedication; innovation is needed above all in persuading decision makers of the need for effective implementation of enforcement strategies
- Surveys of needs reveal that more technological help is needed and more simplified methods must be found for catching and dealing with treating violators
Based on the above EC encourages member states to a more active use of automated enforcement methods.
