The objective of PEPPER is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of police enforcement in the field of road traffic in the EU. All relevant aspects of enforcement are being dealt with: target behaviours (namely speeding, drink-driving and non use of seat belt), detection of infringements, administrative and legal handling after infringement, decisions concerning volume, location and timing of enforcement, effects on road users behaviour and accidents, enforcement methods and tools, collection of enforcement data and enforcement in the social context (acceptability etc.). The need for improved enforcement data and better understanding of the impacts is recognised, and the potential of innovative technologies in the different links of the enforcment chain is being studied.
