Determining Criteria for Selecting Red Light Camera Location

Thesis directed by Professor Bruce Janson

ABSTRACT The objective of this dissertation is to develop a systematic method and criteria for

selecting effective (i.e., severe crash reducing) red light camera locations among all

signalized intersections of a given jurisdiction. Another objective is to develop criteria

that can be implemented using accessible data while maintaining the comprehensiveness

feature of the criteria. Selecting locations for red light cameras has received less attention

by researchers of transportation engineering than assessing their effectiveness in reducing

crashes. However, better site selection rules can result in greater effectiveness, which is

the main goal of installing red light cameras. The methodology was divided into two

phases that is mostly based on statistical criteria, but with more field investigations in the

second phase. The first phase includes five criteria, which are, (i) crash severity level, (ii)

normalized crash severity level, (iii) potential for improvement in terms of crash rate, (iv)

potential for improvement in terms of crash frequency, and (v) crash types. The second

phase includes six other criteria, which are, (i) fluctuation of crashes, (ii) vehicle types,

(iii) economic evaluation, (iv) intersection characteristics, (v) approach determination,

and (vi) red light locations. The study applies its methodology to three major cities in

Colorado; these are Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Denver. The study found red

light camera candidate intersections that are very consistent with the city engineers’

opinions of potentially effective locations and the history of crash data from Denver since

2003.

The form and content of this abstract are approved. I recommend its publication.

CHAPTER I

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Introduction

The condition of being protected against physical, economic, emotional,

educational, political, occupational, or any other aspects that could be damaged or

harmed is the definition of safety. (Federal Highway Administration, 2012) Recently,

public safety, as one of the major safety categories, has received more attention due to the

fact that it is directly related to humans’ lives and health, which is considered as a

significant indication of better developments and communities.

Keeping in mind all the developments and advancements associated with today’s

technologies and environmental regulations, public safety has become even more

challenging to achieve. Promoting public safety in systems like medical and health safety,

building safety, and so on is very important, but it is even more important when it relates

to the transportation system.

The transportation system requires the highest level of safety due to the number of

users involved in the system every day, as well as the nature of risks people can suffer as

a result of the system being unsafe. One of the most dangerous and risky traffic related

violations is red light running, which is a behavior that can cause some of the most

serious injuries and fatalities the transportation system may generate.

In the United States and during the year of 2010 alone, almost 50 percent of all

crashes reported to the police occurred at intersections. In fact and according to the

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, signalized intersections accounted for more than

Page 21: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

68,000 serious non-fatal injuries and 7707 deaths in 2010 alone. (Insurance Institute for

Highway Safety, 2012).

As a result, many transportation agencies, organizations, departments and

communities across the nation like the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seek to address crashes and

reduce both injuries and fatalities by increasingly looking for tools to supplement

traditional enforcement resources. One of the safety tools that over 550 US communities

have employed is a red light camera (RLC). (National Safety Council, 2009)

The first chapter of this study starts by explaining the statement of problem the

study addresses in addition to representing the main questions, and research objectives.

This chapter will also demonstrate how this study could contribute to the civil

engineering science in general and more specifically to the transportation engineering

field despite the limitations that are usually associated with similar studies.

Statement of Problem

Many of the post-implementation evaluations that were conducted to measure the

effectiveness of red light cameras (RLC) have shown an overall effectiveness in reducing

the frequency of crashes at intersections where red light cameras are operated, although

there are exceptions in some cases.

As it will be illustrated in the literature review, most studies that researched the

effectiveness of RLC on safety were mostly making before/after crash comparisons.

Other studies investigated more details regarding the types and severity of crashes

associated with RLC. In comparison, fewer studies discussed other important areas of

Page 22: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

research that could show significant indication of RLC effectiveness on safety such as the

RLC sites selection.

This study will examine one of the critical elements that is usually associated with

the installation or expansion of RLC systems, which is the selection of RLC sites that

have the greatest potential to improve safety. The study will also demonstrate its

practically by applying the methodology to three major cities of Colorado; which are

Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Denver.

Main Questions

This study will try to answer the following questions in order to achieve the study goals:

1) In Colorado Springs, the City discontinued the RLC program after one year of

installation (2010) due to unsuccessful results. If we go back to 2010, what kind

of criteria could be used to make selection of specific intersections within the city

limit and therefore could possibly make the RLC program more effective and

show successful results?

2) In Denver and Fort Collins, the costly system has been under operation for at

least 10 years. Are these cities making the best choices when selecting the

locations of their RLC systems? Can that be supported in a scientific way?

Study Objectives

This study aims to provide a RLC site selection methodology based on analytical

procedures that require accessible data that will be obtainable by any community to select

RLC sites with greatest potential so the selection becomes more systematic. This study

intends to use some statistical models that will be presented in more detail as part of the

methodology chapter. Additionally, this study aims to form a more obvious picture of the

Page 23: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

effectiveness of RLC programs on reducing red light running crashes and their potential

safety improvement when comparing the current RLC sites to the candidate sites

concluded in the analysis chapter.

Hypotheses and Contribution to the Transportation Engineering Industry and Public Safety

The following are two primary motivations and potential benefits of this study:

1) An analytical-based site selection methodology increases the effectiveness of red

light camera programs.

2) Comprehensive and scientific RLC criteria can positively impact public opinion

about RLC system.

This study aims to contribute to the transportation industry from different points

of view. The following bullets describe these contributions:

1) This study will provide transportation agencies, planners, engineers, and

researchers with statistical figures and findings related to one of the least

researched areas, which is RLC sites selection (according to the literature review).

2) This study will contribute to the field of civil engineering and transportation by

reviewing the RLC experiences in Denver and Fort Collins.

3) This study provides an analytical-based methodology for RLC site selection that

can be used by any city in implementing a RLC program to potentially improve

public safety.

4) The study will apply its methodology to three major cities of Colorado; which are

Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Denver.

5) It is also important to note that the analytical-based methodology mentioned

above is formed based on the sort of data that most of the cities around the world

have access to, which makes it a more usable methodology.

Limitations to the Study

Accurately assessing candidates with potential to be equipped with RLC is

challenging for several reasons:

1) Many safety related factors are uncontrolled and/or confounded during the

periods of observation.

2) Availability and accuracy of data may not be accessible at the needed level.

3) The variety and number of agencies involved in such programs can make it

more challenging to find accurate and consistent data.

CHAPTER II

BACKGROUND Traffic Safety Overview

Road traffic safety means reducing accident causes on the road through improved

vehicles, facilities, and driving practices. Road and vehicle design, driver impairment,

speed of operation, and other factors like proper signal timing, better signal design,

improved intersection design, and many more are all considered factors that could

decrease or increase the level of safety on the road. (Road Safety, 2010)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than a million people

are killed on the world’s roads each year. A report published by the WHO in 2004

estimated that 1.2 million people were killed and 50 million injured in traffic crashes

around the world each year and that traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among

children 10-19 years of age. The report also noted that the problem was most severe in

developing countries and that simple prevention measures could halve the number of

deaths. (World Health Organization, 2010)

Because of these facts, road traffic crashes are one of the world’s largest public

health and injury prevention problems. The problem is more acute because victims are

overwhelmingly healthy prior to their crashes.

In 2009, motor vehicle traffic crashes were among the top 10 causes of death in

the United States for the first time since 1981. In 2008, vehicle traffic crashes were 11th.

(See Figure1)

In 2009, when ranked by specific ages, motor vehicle traffic crashes were the

leading cause of death for age 4 and every age 11 through 27, while motor vehicle traffic

Page 26: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

crashes were the leading cause of death for each age 13 through 30 the year before.

(Subramanian, 2009)

Figure 1: Number and rank of motor vehicles traffic fatalities as a cause of death in the United States.

1981-2009 (Subramanian, 2009)

Note “The coding of mortality data changed significantly in 1999, so comparisons of the number

of deaths and death rates from 1998 and before with data from 1999 and after may not be advisable”

(Subramanian, 2009)

In the United States, three acts were announced to seek better and safer

transportation systems, starting with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency

Act, which was signed by President Bush back in 1991.

The act provides funding to continue the provisions of the National Traffic and

Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, and the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings

Act. The act includes a number of motor vehicle safety rulemaking requirements and

additional directions, including rollover protection for occupants of passenger cars,

multipurpose passenger vehicles, and light trucks, side impact protection for occupants of

multipurpose passenger vehicles, improved head impact protection (from interior

components) for occupants of passenger cars, and airbag crash protection systems for

Page 27: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

8

drivers and right front passengers in new passenger cars, new light trucks (including light

buses), and multipurpose passenger vehicles.

On June 9, 1998, the president signed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st

Century (TEA-21). This act paid major attention to safety, strengthening the safety

programs across the US Department of Transportation that aim to save road users’ lives

and property. (The U.S. Department of Transportation, 1998)

The third act, The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation

Equity Act (SAFETEA) was announced formally in 2005. The act provides

comprehensive attention to the safety associated with the transportation system. The act

establishes a new core Highway Safety Improvement Program that aims to make

significant progress in reducing fatalities that take place on the highways. It concentrates

on several areas of concern in the system like work zones, children walking to school,

and older drivers. It doubled the funds to improve the infrastructure and implement

strategic highway safety planning to ensure accommodation of the safety requirements.

(The National Tranportation Library, 1991)

History of Red Light Camera Systems

Historically, traffic enforcement cameras can be dated back to 1905 where the

popular machines were used to record motorists’ speeds by taking time-stamped images

of vehicles moving across the start and end point of the road. By using the popular

machine system, authorities were able to calculate the vehicle speed and identify the

driver by referring to the time-stamps and images respectively.

Gatsometer BV was a company founded back in 1958 by rally driver Maurice

Gatsonides. It produced a monitor device to track the average speed in order to improve

Page 28: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

his lap times. Later, the company started supplying police radars, red light cameras, and

mobile speed traffic cameras. (Gatsometer, 2010)

Figure 2: The Hague traffic police put a sort of monocular. (Gatsometer, 2010)

Worldwide, red light cameras have been in use since the 1960s, and were used for

traffic enforcement in Israel as early as 1969. The first red light camera system was

introduced in 1965, using tubes stretched across the road to detect the violation and

subsequently trigger the camera. Red light cameras were first developed in the

Netherlands. One of the first developers of these red light camera systems was

Gatsometer BV. (Gatsometer, 2010)

The cameras first received serious attention in the United States in the 1980s

following a highly publicized crash in 1982 involving a red-light runner who collided

with an 18-month-old girl in a stroller (or "push-chair") in New York City. Subsequently,

a community group worked with the city's Department of Transportation to research

Page 29: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

10

automated law-enforcement systems to identify and ticket drivers who run red lights.

New York's red-light camera program went into effect in 1993. From the 1980s onward,

red light camera usage expanded worldwide, and one of the early camera system

developers, Poltech International, supplied Australia, Britain, South Africa, Taiwan, the

Netherlands and Hong Kong. American Traffic Systems (subsequently American Traffic

Solutions) (ATS) and Redflex Traffic Systems emerged as the primary suppliers of red

light camera systems in the US, while Jenoptik became the leading provider of red light

cameras worldwide. (Lowe, 2006)

Initially, all red light camera systems used film, which was delivered to local law

enforcement departments for review and approval. The first digital camera system was

introduced in Canberra, Australia in December 2000, and digital cameras have

increasingly replaced the older film cameras in other locations since then.

Glossary of Terms Traffic Enforcement Camera (TEC): An automated ticketing machine that could be

mounted beside or over the road to observe traffic violators. (Wilson C, 2010)

Red Light Camera (RLC): is a traffic enforcement camera that captures an image of a

vehicle which has entered an intersection against a red traffic light. By automatically

photographing vehicles that run red lights, the camera produces evidence that assists

authorities in their enforcement of traffic laws. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety,

2010)

Red Light Runner (RLR): The simplest definition of red-light running (RLR) is the act

of entering, and proceeding through, a signalized intersection after the traffic signal has

turned red. (National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances., 2000)

Infraction : In 1981, the legislature of the US decriminalized many minor traffic offenses

to promote public safety and to facilitate the implementation of a uniform and

expeditious system for the disposition of such offenses.

Common traffic infractions are speeding as well as seat belt and liability

insurance violations. These offenses are called infractions and are considered civil cases.

(Grays Harbor County, 1981)

Violation : to break, disregard, or infringe a law or a certain agreement. (In this study: to

break a traffic law)

Citation : is another word for a traffic ticket. It is a notice issued by a law enforcement

official to a motorist or other road user, accusing violation of traffic laws. It could be

cited as a moving vehicle which includes but not limited to violations such as exceeding

Page 31: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

12

the speed limit or running red light or non-moving violation (illegally parked vehicle).

(Grays Harbor County, 1981)

Halo Effect “spillover” : Refers to the ability of an intersection safety camera to have a

positive effect at nearby, untreated intersections because of a longer term influence on

driver behavior (For example, driver will not run red lights at intersections near

intersections equipped with a red light camera). (NHCRP, 2003)

Intrusive sensors: record vehicle count and classification data with some lane closure

and drilling into the roadway. (Federal Highway Administration’s Intelligent

Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, 2000)

Non-intrusive sensors: record vehicle count and classification data without interruption

to traffic flow. Installation of non-intrusive detection systems usually involves no

requirement for road closure or traffic management and deployment includes utilizing

existing roadside infrastructure. (Federal Highway Administration’s Intelligent

Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, 2000)

The Kangaroo effect: A kangaroo effect is created when drivers decelerate suddenly

when they notice a speed camera or red light camera, and then quickly accelerate again.

This is thought to have an adverse effect on traffic flow and the environment, as well as

road safety. (Federal Highway Administration’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint

Program Office, 2000)

Vehicle Detection and Surveillance Technologies

Vehicle detection and surveillance technologies can be categorized into two major

types: intrusive and non-intrusive sensors. These types of technologies go through three

main processes: the transducer, which detects the presence of a vehicle or its axles; the

Page 32: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

13

signal-processing device, which then converts the transducer data into an electrical

signal; and, finally, a data-processing device that converts the electrical signal into traffic

parameters. There are several traffic parameters that might be included like speed,

vehicles count, occupancy, gap, weight, and many others. (Bailly, 1998)

In this section of the study, more information related to the intrusive and non-

intrusive sensors will be provided. The information will include the operating principle,

sensor measurement accuracy, costs, advantages, and disadvantages of these technologies.

Intrusive sensor (in-ground inductive loop). These types of sensors are usually

installed into the surface of the pavement by tunneling under the surface, in saw-cuts or

holes on the surface, or by anchoring directly into the surface. Intrusive sensors can be

micro-loop probes, pneumatic road tubes, or piezoelectric cables and other weight-in-

motion sensors. (Hockaday, 1991)

Figure 4: Distribution of the loop’s electromagnetic field. (Hockaday, 1991)

Page 33: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

14

There are many advantages to the intrusive sensor like unlimited number of speed

measurements, the ability to specify the lane where the violation has occurred, and also

the level of accuracy it provides when recording the speed and the location of a vehicle.

(Kell, 1990)

Figure 5: Loop location at the intersection. (Kell, 1990)

The main disadvantages and drawbacks that are mainly associated with the

intrusive sensors are the disruption they can cause to traffic operation during the

installation processes and road closures, or when maintenance is required, whether that

type of maintenance is related to the sensor or other applications. They can also cause

damage to the surface of the road, especially when substandard drilling and cutting

activities are used when attaching the sensor to the roadway.

Page 34: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

15

Figure 6: Loop sensors reflect damages to the asphalt. (Kell, 1990)

As far as non-intrusive sensors (loopless trigger radar), most studies show the

need for a more reliable and cost-effective method that could be applied to the same

applications as the intrusive sensor, but with fewer disadvantages. Non-intrusive sensors

came to be the solution since the installation of these sensors does not require the amount

of cutting and drilling the intrusive sensors do, and therefore cause less traffic disruption

and no damage to the surface at all. (Kell, 1990)

Page 35: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

16

Figure 7: Speed limit cameras can take shapes of normal road elements. (Klein, Millimeter-Wave and Infrared Multisensor Design and Signal Processing, 1997)

At the same time, non-intrusive sensors (aboveground sensors) have met many of

the applications required by surface streets and freeways. The non-intrusive sensors can

be mounted above or to the side of the roadway that needs monitoring. Many

technologies are currently used for this application like laser radar, video images,

microwave radars, and passive infrared, or a combination of two or more of them. The

system is also able to record speed, vehicle’s weight, vehicle categories, and vehicle

count. (Klein, Millimeter-Wave and Infrared Multisensor Design and Signal Processing,

1997)

Page 36: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

17

The sensor can be mounted in a position perpendicular or oblique to the traffic

flow to allow the system to monitor each lane. In comparison to the intrusive sensors,

studies show that aboveground sensors are less affected by weather change and ambient

lights, are faster and easy to install, have an accuracy of speed detection that ranges +/- 2

mph, and monitor the configuration of each lane individually. (Klein, Final Report:

Recommendations, 1999)

18

Implications for Public Privacy

Practically, RLC systems work by capturing the image of the vehicle, its driver,

and the vehicle license plate number as that vehicle goes through a red light. These

photographs provide evidence to authorities in order to assist with traffic law

enforcement and, therefore, the issuing of tickets to the violator. Typically, law

enforcement officials will review the photographs and determine whether a violation has

occurred. The next step is the infraction, which will be mailed to the mailing address

registered under the license plate. In some cases, photographs are not clear and therefore

officials cannot make a final decision. As a result, officials will either dismiss the citation

or mail the violator a notice requesting identification information to assist in making their

decision. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 2010)

Using red-light camera systems is associated with several legal and privacy

concerns, including concerns about citation distribution, types of penalties, and the right

of authorities to issue a ticket based on a photograph. Before implementation, the public

should be educated on how the system works to ensure that the public understands that

the citations are only issued after photographs are reviewed by a police officer. (Elmitiny

& Radwan, 2008)

Another issue related to RLC that the public is frequently complaining about the

availability of signage and in particular, the messages that need to be given to drivers

about what is actually being monitored and enforced. A study in the UK discussed the

issues facing UK agencies responsible for implementing and operating camera-based

enforcement programs in relation to signage, as the camera signs can be located

differently depending on whether or not they are funded by a Safety Camera Partnership.

Page 38: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

19

The study’s major finding was that signs must be used consistently across the UK - in

general, the boundaries of geo-political regions, of police force authority and of road

network operators' responsibility. (Wilson, 2007)

Impact on Revenue

The public argues that the main purpose behind RLC’s is revenue. Several studies

and researches have found much evidence towards this being the case. An article titled

“Big Brother is Ticking You”, published as part of Popular Mechanics magazine,

emphasizes on the fierce opposition to RLC by citizens and organizations such as the

American Automobile Association and National Motorists Association.

The article referred to the Washington, DC experience with RLC, as the increased

number of crashes at approaches where RLC is installed, especially rear-end ones, have

been associated with an increased number of revenue for the city. Adding to the general

and growing discontent is the fact that a few towns have been caught shortening yellow

signal timing, thereby catching more red light runners and generating more revenue but

also inadvertently increasing accident rates. (Reynolds, 2006)

Tom Brodbeck, the Sun’s City columnist, argued whether the RLC program in the

city of Winnipeg is really aimed at safety and not revenue. He reevaluated the 50 most

dangerous intersections around the city in terms of crashes and wondered why only 7 of

the 31 red light cameras throughout the city are located at those intersections. What is

more interesting is the fact that there were no cameras at all among the top 10 most

dangerous intersections. “If the main purpose of the cameras is to increase safety, then

why they are not placed in the locations with the least safety?” Tom asked.

Page 39: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

20

In fact, in two of those top 50 locations where the cameras were installed, the rate of

crashes has risen around 20 percent. (Brodbeck, 2012)

According to a study conducted by OpEdnews.com, police unions and for-profit

camera companies have teamed up on several occasions to defeat laws that proposed to

ensure traffic cameras are designed for public safety rather than to collect revenue. For

example, in Connecticut, police unions and traffic light camera companies opposed

efforts to expand the length of yellow lights despite the fact that implementing that would

reduce red light violations by 90 percent. (Fang, 2012)

In Florida last year, American Traffic Solutions, one of the largest for-profit

camera corporations, hired 17 lobbyists to defeat a similar bill. The company circulated a

letter signed by police chiefs and worked closely with officials from the Florida Sheriff's

Association, a labor group, to pressure legislators.

In California, a bill by State Sen. Joseph Simitian to ensure that traffic cameras

can only be set up to promote public safety rather than collect revenue was opposed by

the California Police Chiefs, a law enforcement labor union group. (Tucker, 2009)

Dissertation Structure

The dissertation has been divided into five chapters:

Chapter 1: Introduction including a statement of the problem, study objectives and main

questions, the study hypothesis, and how it contributes to the transportation engineering

industry.

Chapter 2: Background overview of the topic, traffic safety overview, history of red

light cameras, glossary of terms, vehicle detection and surveillance technologies، a brief

discussion of two of the major concerns that associated with RLC systems, implication on

public privacy and impact on revenue. The chapter ends by presenting the study timeline,

and dissertation structure.

Chapter 3: Presents the literature review, which includes a comprehensive review of the

most recent studies and articles on the subject of RLC systems. This chapter is

categorized and divided according to the most recent research topics as it starts first with

the technical part of the RLC detection types, going through studies related the

of RLC on safety (mostly before/ after comparison), RLC collision types, RLC crashes

severity, Red light runner characteristics, RLC and signal timings, RLC spillover effect,

and most recent models and procedures used to conduct RLC related studies. This chapter

also reviews the recent researches that discussed the importance of RLC site selection,

which is the focus of this dissertation.

Chapter 4: Presents the procedures, models, and the phases of the methodology chapter

that will be used for RLC sites selection. It also represents the analytical-based

methodology that will be used for RLC site selection using case studies from Colorado

Page 42: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins. This chapter also presents the data required for each

case study.

Chapter 5: Presents the analytical findings for all intersections within each case study

city limit and conclusions from Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins, which

eventually show the top 10 candidate intersections that have priority over other signalized

support future studies on this subject.

CHAPTER III

LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction

Red light running is a significant public health concern, killing more than 800

people and injuring more than 200,000 in the United States per year. It is a significant

safety problem as drivers become more aggressive on city roads, and become impatient

waiting for traffic signals to change. RLC programs are considered one of the most

controversial topics facing traffic engineers, city councils, and public awareness groups.

Red light running cameras systems are automated enforcement systems that detect and

capture vehicles that run a red light and issue a citation. RLC systems are becoming

widely used in the United States to reduce the number and severity of red light running

crashes. (Fitzsimmons, Hallmark, McDonald, Orellana, Matulac, & Pawlovich, 2008)

In this chapter of the research, many of the recent studies and researches related to

the red light camera programs will be presented by discussing major areas of previous

researches such as the effectiveness of RLC on safety, effectiveness of RLC on type of

crashes, effectiveness of RLC on crashes severity, characteristics of red light runners,

RLC and signal timings, RLC spillover effect, and methodologies and analysis

procedures used to measure effectiveness of RLC. Finally, the literature review chapter

will finally focus on the most recent studies related to the main objective of this research,

which is the RLC sites selection.

Effectiveness of RLC on Safety

Studies evaluating the effectiveness of red light cameras on safety mostly suggest

that they are effective in reducing red light violations and injury crashes. A four-year

Page 44: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

analysis (2004-2007) of the effectiveness of the RLC program in Raleigh, North Carolina,

which was a follow-up study to an earlier one made before 2004 but with a smaller

sample size (5 months), both showed that the program is producing positive safety results.

(Hummer & Cunningham, 2010)

In San Francisco, California, with its compact driving environment and dense

network of signalized intersections, red-light running reached a political crisis in 1994.

The city and county of San Francisco recently completed a pilot red-light photo-

enforcement program. The number of vehicles photographed violating red lights at the

photo-enforced locations dropped by more than 40% just 6 months into the pilot. Recent

statistics indicate that San Francisco's combined efforts to combat red-light running have

resulted in a significant decrease in the number of annual crashes caused by red-light

violators citywide. Based on the success of the pilot and supportive state legislation, San

Francisco is moving forward to expand the red-light photo-enforcement program to make

it one of the largest programs in the United States with 26 cameras rotating in 35

locations. (Fleck. J, 1999)

Iowa is another state that has a serious safety problem with red light running that

accounts for 35% of fatal and major injuries plus 21% of total crashes at signalized

intersections. The state has adopted the program in three communities; one of the

communities is Davenport that had installed the program back in 2004. Two years of

crash data after installation were available for analysis, which included 4 RLC locations

and 5 control intersections as part of it. The results of the analysis indicated that the

cameras were effective in reducing total crashes and RLR related-crashes on average of

20% and 40%, respectively. In the other hand, there was an increase of total crashes,

Page 45: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

26

RLR related-crashes, and RLR rear-end related crashes of about 7%, 20%, and 33%,

respectively. (Hallmark, Orellana, Fitzsimmons, McDonald, & Matulac, 2010)

A comprehensive study conducted by the Center of Civic Engagement at Rice

University from September 2006 to August 2008, which included 70 monitored and non-

monitored approaches and six years of crashes data, concluded that the proportion of

crashes occurring at monitored approaches decreased significantly relative to the non-

monitored approaches, as Figure (9) shows below. The comparison of data between

monitored and non-monitored approaches supports the conclusion that red light cameras

are mitigating a general, more severe increase in collisions. Although this study supports

the idea that red light cameras have a positive effect in reducing crashes at monitored

approaches in comparison with non-monitored approaches, several questions have been

raised by these findings. The most important of these is “Why have crashes at non-

monitored approaches increased so dramatically in the past year?” The study suggested

that these results could be evidence of an increase in crashes across the city. The selection

in 2006 of intersections with high rates of crashes could be serving to magnify this effect.

(Dahnke, Stevenson, Stein, & Lomax, 2008)

(Dahnke, Stevenson, Stein, & Lomax, 2008)

An additional study was conducted to estimate the safety impacts of RLCs on

traffic crashes at signalized intersections in the cities of Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Twenty-four RLC equipped intersections in both cities were examined in detail. The

evaluation results indicated that both Phoenix and Scottsdale are operating cost-effective

installations of RLCs, which show positive safety improvement: however, the variability

in RLC effectiveness within jurisdictions is larger in Phoenix (Shin & Washington, 2007).

A paper is to evaluate the safety effectiveness of automated traffic enforcement

systems, that is, red light cameras, installed at 254 signalized intersections in 32

jurisdictions in Texas. A before-after study by the empirical Bayesian methodology was

performed to remove the regression-to-mean bias during the evaluation of treatments.

The results indicate significant decreases in the incidences of all types of red light

running (RLR) crashes and right-angle RLR crashes by 20% and 24%, respectively. A

significant increase of 37% for rear-end RLR crashes was discovered. The study results

Page 47: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

28

suggest that a significant safety benefit for red light cameras is achieved if intersections

have four or more RLR crashes per year or have two or more RLR crashes per 10,000

vehicles. Red light cameras show counterproductive results if intersections experience

fewer than two RLR crashes per year or have one crash per 10,000 vehicles per year (Ko,

2013).

In Virginia, a study included six jurisdictions (Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax City,

Fairfax County, Falls Church, Vienna) that deployed red light cameras. It documented the

safety impacts of those cameras based on 7 years of crash data for the period January 1,

1998, through December 31, 2004. The results show that cameras were associated with a

modest reduction in comprehensive injury crashes. (Garber, Miller, Abel, Eslambolchi, &

Korukonda, 2007)

A study that evaluated the Red Light Camera (RLC) program in Fairfax County,

Virginia was conducted back in 2003 and covered 13 cameras after 2 years of operation.

In conducting the analysis, violation results were grouped into two distinct periods: 1)

initial period (1st three months) and 2) after initial period. These two distinct periods

were also grouped into five periods for each, and there were as follows: 1) initial period,

2) fourth to ninth month period, 3) 10th to 15th, 3) 16th to 21st, 4) 22nd to 27th, 5) after 27th

month. The study reported that the RLC program reduced the traffic signal violation rate

by up to 63% in the 22nd to 27th month period of its operation (see Table 1). The results

also show that the increase of the intersection amber time, combined with RLC, produced

a higher reduction of up to 72% in violation rate. The crash rate was reduced by 27%

after 2 years of RLC operation; however, this reduction was not statistically significant.

A very interesting pilot study was conducted in Maine, which is considered as one

of the states that have a major problem with red light running. Maine is one of the states

that does not allow issuing citations based on photographic evidence, so only warning

letters were issued to violators. Therefore, the study covering the period from September

2004 to August 2005 was mainly concerned with the reduction of red light running

violations as a result of warning letters only. Observations of red-light running indicate

that the violation rate dropped by around 28% between December 2004 (when the system

was first installed) and May 2005 (when the system had been operational for several

months). However, it was the infractions that occurred at low speeds and within the first

second or so that were reduced. Infractions more than 3 seconds into red and at speeds

above 35 mph actually increased. It was interpreted that these later infractions were not

caused by the enforcement, but rather by other factors like weather and roadway

conditions. Conflict and crash data indicate that there were no great improvements in

safety between the before period and the period when the system was in operation. Actual

fines and RLC systems rather than warning tickets may have produced greater safety

effects. (Garder, 2006)

Another study was mainly aimed at estimating the RLR problem in Indiana. The

other objectives of the research included: (1) learning drivers' opinions on the problem,

(2) studying the effectiveness of selected countermeasures, (3) studying the legal issues

related to photo-enforcement. A crash statistics study, telephone survey, and extended

monitoring of a selected intersection were the three major investigations chosen to

estimate the magnitude of the problem. The crash statistics for the 1997-1999 period

showed that 22% of signalized intersection crashes in Indiana resulted from RLR. RLR

Page 50: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

31

preceded 50% of fatal crashes at these intersections. The telephone survey showed that

67% of Indiana drivers felt that RLR was a problem in the state, and 12% of them

claimed to have been involved in a RLR crash. The extended monitoring of the through

movements at the study intersection also recorded a considerable violation rate. Traffic at

a selected intersection in West Lafayette, Indiana, was videotaped and the video material

was used to detect the red light violations. The expected number of drivers arriving at the

start of the red signal has been proposed as a true measure of exposure to RLR. The

authors call it an opportunity for RLR. This exposure was used to estimate the RLR rate.

The statistical significance of the difference in the RLR rates between different periods

was estimated using binomial distribution. Photo-enforcement reduced the violation rate

by 62% during the week of enforcement and by 35% during the week immediately

following the start of enforcement. (Tarko & Reddy, 2003)

As a conclusion of this section of the chapter, it seems clear that most studies

agreed on a certain level of improvement associated with the installation and operation of

RLC programs. Studies were made using different methodologies, time periods, data,

and locations; however, they all concluded that there were positive implications of RLC.

Table 2 briefly presents all of these studies and their findings.

Effectiveness of RLC on Type of Crashes

When reviewing studies concerned about the type of crashes at signalized

intersections, it looks obvious that the crash type that is targeted in the analyses is the

right-angle (T-bone) crashes, which involve a violating vehicle colliding with another

vehicle crossing the intersection legally on a green signal display. Another crash type

likely to be investigated is a vehicle turning left colliding with a vehicle moving through

the intersection from the opposite approach direction. For this later scenario, the turning

vehicle could be violating the red when the opposite direction has a green, or vice-versa.

On the other hand, there is a concern that rear-end crashes of vehicles approaching the

intersection will increase with RLC enforcement. Knowing that there is a camera system,

and on seeing the yellow display, a more cautious motorist may stop more abruptly,

causing the following motorist, not anticipating the need to stop and likely to be

following too closely, to hit the lead vehicle from behind. Assuming that these crash

types produce equal crash severity, then a net benefit would accrue if the crash reductions

of the angle type exceeded any crash increases of the rear-end type. In general, angle

crashes are usually more severe and, therefore, even a zero change in total crashes may

prove to be safer, if there is a smaller proportion of angle to rear-end crashes with the use

of cameras.

Red-light camera enforcement offers potential as a cost-effective, powerful tool in

reducing red-light running and associated crashes. However, studies on the effectiveness

of the red-light camera system have shown mixed results in terms the of types of crashes

associated with the system, with some studies showing a reduction in T-bone red-light

related crashes, while others report no significant improvement. Furthermore, most

Page 53: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

34

studies have shown that red-light camera systems increased rear-end crashes. (Elmitiny &

Radwan, 2008)

As with all synthesis documents, a comprehensive report published by the

National Cooperative Highway Research Program was performed that relied exclusively

on available information; no new data collection or analysis. The information came from

published literature, various websites, and from a questionnaire sent to more than 50

jurisdictions nationwide and some foreign countries known or believed to have installed

red light running camera systems. The findings that can be drawn from the information

complied by that study are as follows. There is a preponderance of evidence, albeit

inconclusive, indicating that red light running camera systems improve the overall safety

of intersections where they are used. As expected, angle crashes are usually reduced and,

in some situations, rear-end crashes increase, but to a lesser extent. (The National

Cooperative Highway Research Program, 2003)

As an example, before-after crash results for Sacramento California are shown on

Table (3) below. (McGee & Eccles, 2006)

The effectiveness of a group of red light camera installations in Sydney in

reducing right angle and right- (left) turn opposed crashes was analyzed using crash data

from 2 years before and 2 years after the cameras were installed (See Table 4). The study,

published in 1993, had 6 cameras circulating in 16 intersections with cameras and

covered another 16 intersections as control (the control sites were matched on the basis of

crash history, traffic volume, and intersection configuration). The camera (treatment) and

control sites were grouped as follows: Eight most-used camera sites, eight least-used

camera sites, eight most-used control sites, and eight least-used control sites. The study

concluded that red light cameras reduce target crashes and increase rear end crashes with

an overall reduction in accident numbers and severity that was similar to other

engineering countermeasures. (Hillier, Ronczka, & Schnerring, 1993)

According to one of the most comprehensive studies to date on RLCs, a report

from FHWA titled as Safety Evaluation of Red-Light Cameras, which included data from

seven jurisdictions (Baltimore, MD; Charlotte, NC; El Cajon, CA; Howard County and

Montgomery County, MD; and San Diego; and San Francisco, CA) and 132 intersections,

Page 55: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

36

concluded that the use of RLCs led to the following: 25 percent decrease in total right-

angle crashes, 16 percent reduction in injury right-angle crashes, 15 percent increase in

total rear-end crashes, and 24 percent increase in injury rear-end crashes. As Table (5)

below shows, the direction of these effects was remarkably consistent across jurisdictions.

The analysis indicated a modest spillover effect on right-angle crashes; however, this was

not mirrored by the increase in rear end crashes seen in the treatment group, which

detracts somewhat from the credibility of this result as evidence of a general deterrence

effect. (Administration, 2005)

Table 5 Results for individual jurisdictions for total crashes (Administration, 2005)

6 -26.1 (4.7) 12.7 (3.4)

7 -24.4 (11.2) 7.0 (18.5)

The standard error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. The term may also be used to refer to an

estimate of that standard deviation, derived from a particular sample used to compute the estimate. (Everitt, 2003)

Consistent with findings in other regions, the study that was conducted in Arizona

has concluded that angle and left-turn crashes are reduced in general, while rear-end

crashes tend to increase as a result of RLCs. In Scottsdale, for instance, the crash trends

suggest that an effort to reduce angle crashes through the use of RLCs may be

Page 56: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

37

worthwhile, since angle crashes are generally more severe than rear-end crashes (See

Figure 10 below). (Shin & Washington, 2007)

Figure 10 Percentage of crash type in Scottsdale for 14-year period. (Shin & Washington, 2007)

The Virginia study (presented earlier as part of RLC effectiveness on safety

section) that includes six different jurisdictions found that cameras are associated with an

increase in rear-end crashes (about 27% or 42% depending on the statistical method used)

and a decrease in red light running crashes (about 8% or 42% depending on the statistical

method used). It also shows that there is significant variation by intersection and by

jurisdiction: one jurisdiction (Arlington) suggests that cameras are associated with an

increase in all six crash types that were explicitly studied (rear-end, angle, red light

running, injury red light running, total injury, and total) whereas two other jurisdictions

saw decreases in most of these crash types. (Garber, Miller, Abel, Eslambolchi, &

Korukonda, 2007)

Effectiveness of RLC on Crashes Severity

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, during the period from

1992 to 1998, almost 6,000 people (approximately 850 per year) died in RLR crashes in

the Unites States, and another 1.4 million (approximately 200,000 per year) were injured

in crashes that involved red light running.

Using 1997 data from the General Estimates System and a narrower definition of

RLR crashes, Smith. et. al, estimated that approximately 97,000 crashes, resulting in 961

fatalities, could be attributed to red light running in the United States per year during this

same period. Table 6 shows the distribution of crashes by severity for all signalized

intersections, those involving angle crashes, and those considered to be the result of red

light running. As seen, slightly more than 44% of the fatalities at signalized intersections

were attributed to red light running. (McGee & Eccles, 2006)

A study was done to evaluate the crash effects of 87 signed fixed digital speed

and red light cameras and accompanying warning signs placed at 77 signalized

intersections across Victoria, Australia. Across the 77 intersections where the cameras

Page 58: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

39

evaluated were installed, it was estimated that 17 serious or fatal crashes per year and 36

minor injury crashes would be prevented, representing crash cost savings to the

community of over $8 million per year. Based on the outcomes of the evaluation,

continued and expanded use of combined fixed red-light and speed cameras in Victoria is

expected to improve driver safety, save lives and reduce crash related costs. Analysis

results estimated large decreases in casualty crashes associated with the FDSRL cameras

and their associated signage. When only the crashes involving vehicles travelling from

the approach intersection leg where the camera was placed are considered, the estimated

casualty crash reduction was 47%. When crashes involving vehicles from all approaches

are compared, the estimated casualty crash reduction was 26%. A 44% reduction in right

angle and right turn against crashes, those particularly targeted by red light enforcement,

was also estimated. While use of the FDSRL cameras was associated with a reduction in

overall casualty crash risk, there was no evidence for a reduction in relative crash severity

meaning the cameras were associated equally with reductions in minor injury crashes as

serious injury and fatal crashes. (Budd, Scully, & Newstead, 2011)

An article examines the effectiveness of red-light cameras at reducing the rate of

violations as well as the level and severity of intersection-related crashes. Although the

evaluations differ in sample size, type of intersection and evaluation methods, several

trends emerge. The findings suggest that if installed at locations with significant red-light

running crashes and/or violations, red-light cameras substantially reduce red-light

violation rates and reduce crashes that result from red-light running. Although they may

not reduce total crashes, they usually are effective at reducing crash severity. The author

finally suggested that red-light cameras enforcement should not be seen as a substitute for

proper traffic engineering of signalized intersections. (Bochner & Walden, 2010)

A study developed a Bayesian HBL (hierarchical binomial logistic) model to

identify the risk factors on individual severity of driver injury and vehicle damage at

urban intersections of Singapore. For the study to conclude significant findings, it was

helpful to account for the severity correlation of driver–vehicle units involved in the same

multi-vehicle crashes. The study included various geometric features, traffic conditions,

and driver–vehicle characteristics, as well as nine variables identified as significant using

95% BCI (Bayesian credible interval). Among these, the crash-level significant factors

are Time of Day, Intersection Type, Nature of Lane, Street Lighting, Presence of Red

Light Camera, and Pedestrian Involved. In particular, it was found that crashes occurring

in peak time, in good street-lighting condition, and in the case of pedestrians involved are

associated with lower severity, while those occurring in night time, at T/Y type

intersections, on right-most lane, and in the presence of red light cameras have larger

odds of being severe. Vehicle type, Driver Age and Involvement of Offending Party were

also found to affect severities of driver injury and vehicle damage significantly.

Specifically, results indicated that heavy vehicles have a better resistance to serious

injury or extensive damage, while two-wheel vehicles, young or aged drivers, with the

involvement of offending party have a higher risk of being high severity. (Helai, Chor, &

Haque, 2008)

The study that included Phoenix and Scottsdale (Arizona) also investigated the

severity of crashes occurred at RLC intersections. It concluded that injury and fatal

crashes of approximately 16.95 per year occurred at RLC intersections of Phoenix,

Page 60: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

compared to 10.43 per year in Scottsdale. Additionally, the number of rear-end crashes

resulting in injuries or fatalities (5.67/year) is higher than that of angle crashes

(2.41/year), as was found previously. Further examinations however, again show that

angle crashes are more serious than rear-end crashes.

Figures (11) and (12) below show the proportion of crashes by severity. The

percentage of PDO crashes and minor crashes for rear-end crashes is higher than the

percentage of injury/fatal crashes. (Shin & Washington, 2007)

A study shows the attitude of people toward red light cameras in 14 cities with red light

camera programs concluded that two thirds favor the use of cameras for red light

enforcement and 42 percent strongly favor it. The chief reasons for opposing cameras

were the perceptions that cameras make mistakes and that the motivation for installing

them is revenue, not safety. Forty-one percent of drivers favor using cameras to enforce

right-turn-on-red violations. Nearly 9 in 10 drivers were aware of the camera

enforcement programs in their cities, and 59 percent of these drivers believed that the

cameras have made intersections safer. Almost half know someone who received a red

light camera citation, and 17 percent had received at least one ticket themselves. When

compared with drivers in the 14 cities with camera programs, the percentage of drivers in

Houston who strongly favored enforcement was about the same (45%), but strong

43

opposition was higher in Houston than in the other cities (28 versus 18%) (Mccartt,

2012).

Characteristics of Red Light Runners

Knowing the characteristics of the red light runners has been another point of

interest to many researchers. It is another way to mitigate this serious problem that is

considered among the most risky behaviors in the transportation system by defining the

characteristics of those drivers who run red lights more frequently comparing to others.

A study was conducted in Southeast Virginia that includes eight intersections and

covers an 8-month period during which photo enforcement cameras were installed at

three sites (A1, A2, and A3). As Table (7) shows, data collectors observed 1765 light

cycles. Overall, 18.8% of last drivers entered intersections on green lights, 68.4% on

yellow, and 12.7% on red. Demographics were recorded for 1433 drivers (only the

yellow and red light runners). Demographics of red light runners across the five data

collection periods are provided in table 7. The numbers represent the percent of red light

runners out of all yellow and red light runners during that observation period broken

down by subcategories for each demographic variable. Overall, men had higher raw red

light running rates than women; however, the only significant difference between men

and women occurred in Phase 1. Red light running rates for both men and women

declined from baseline levels and reached their lowest levels during Phase 4. The only

significant difference in red light running as a function of ethnic group classification was

during Phase 2 when non-whites were more likely to run red lights than whites. Note that

numbers in parentheses are the sample sizes for categories each phase of the project. The

Page 63: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

44

percent represents those who ran the red light as opposed to the yellow light. (Martinez &

Porter, 2006). The phases (collection periods) are:

Phases 1 and 2: These observations took place in June and July 2004, respectively,

before any cameras were installed and served as baseline measures of red light running

behavior.

Phase 3: In September 2004, observations occurred again. Intersection A1

received cameras and was in the 30-day warning period (i.e., when warning letters were

mailed to the registered owners of vehicles that ran the red light).

Phase 4: This observation took place in November 2004. Intersection A1 was in

the actual citation phase, A2 was in the warning phase, and cameras at A3 were being

tested to go operational the day after it was was observed. (Note that this observation

phase took place in November when it would get dark about 5 p.m. and that the camera

flash allowed for no mistake that it was functional.)

Phase 5: The fifth observation phase occurred in January 2005 when A1, A2, and

A3 were issuing citations.

Another report conducted by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center

presents results from an analysis of about 47,000 red light violation records collected

from 11 RLC equipped intersections in the City of Sacramento, California, between May

1999 and June 2003. The report used seven different variables to study the

characteristics of red light runners, these variables are:

� Age of the violator

� Gender of the violator

� Time (in hours) when the violation occurred

� Model Year of the vehicle driven by the violator

expectation – most of red light violations occurred during the daytime hours when most

urban driving is done (i.e., 7 AM to 7 PM). However, the highest count of red light

violations during the time period from 2:00 PM to 2:59 PM is somewhat surprising.

Finally, red light violations rates are estimated between 6 and 29 violations per 100,000

intersection-crossing vehicles. (Yang & Najm, 2006)

A study introduced by the National Highway Council concluded that 96 percent

of drivers in a recent survey fear they will get hit by another vehicle running a red light

when they enter an intersection. Some 800 licensed drivers aged 18-65 were polled. Two-

thirds of the respondents see other drivers run red lights every day, with 54% speculating

that the culprits were in a hurry. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

counted 1,114 traffic deaths in 1997 in intersections where drivers failed to heed red-light

signals. (Karr, 1999)

RLC and Signal Timings

Two principal methods used to reduce red light running involve lengthening the

duration of yellow change intervals and automated red light enforcement. These two

types of countermeasures were usually supported by studies from different points of view

that tried to conclude which of them is more efficient.

A study evaluated the incremental effects on red light running of first lengthening

yellow signal timing, followed by the introduction of red light cameras. At six

approaches to two intersections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, yellow change intervals

were increased by about 1s, followed several months later by red light camera

enforcement. The number of red light violations was monitored before changes were

implemented, several weeks after yellow timing changes were made, and about 1 year

after commencement of red light camera enforcement. Similar observations were

conducted at three comparison intersections in a neighboring state where red light

cameras were not used and yellow timing remained constant. Results showed that yellow

timing changes reduced red light violations by 36%. The addition of red light camera

enforcement further reduced red light violations by 96% beyond levels achieved by the

longer yellow timing. As a conclusion, the study shows that the provision of adequate

yellow signal timing reduces red light running, but longer yellow timing alone does not

eliminate the need for better enforcement, which can be provided effectively by red light

cameras. (Retting & Williams, 1996)

Page 69: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

The City Council for the City of Springfield, Missouri, approved a contract to

install up to sixteen cameras for automated red light enforcement in the spring of 2006.

During the implementation phase of the program, test sampling of potential intersections

for placement of the cameras revealed significant differences in yellow timings and red

light running at city signals compared to Missouri DOT signals inside the city. This

difference prompted city and state traffic engineers to review their respective methods of

calculating the yellow and all-red timings. Despite using the same equation recommended

by ITE, the agencies used different assumptions for perception-reaction time and how to

interpret and use the results. City and state traffic engineers came to agreement and

documented the assumptions to be used in a Memo of Understanding (MOU) to bring

consistency to the yellow and all-red timings throughout the city. The result was that

yellow time at all city signals was increased and yellow time at nearly all state signals

was decreased. All signals were retimed in conformance with the MOU in the spring of

2008 and in conformance to ITE recommended practice, three months prior to the first

red light camera startup and 18 months prior to the installation of a camera on an

intersection where the yellow time had been reduced. The result of the signal retiming

has brought credibility to the red light camera program for the public and media with a

reduction in rear-end crashes in addition to a reduction in total crashes at traffic signals.

(Newman, 2010)

Methodologies and Procedures Used for RLC Analysis

Several types of methodologies and analysis procedures were used such as the

Binary model, which was preliminarily developed to examine how the stopping–crossing

Page 70: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

51

decision of drivers at the onset of amber is affected by geometric, traffic, and situational

variables.

Results showed that the presence of RLCs is one of the five significant factors

affecting a driver’s decision to cross at the onset of amber. A Multinomial logic model

further confirmed that RLCs are effective in reducing RLR frequency. Further analysis

on the fitted models revealed that while the presence of RLCs is effective in reducing risk

of right-angle crashes, it has a mixed effect on the risk of rear-end crashes. Whether the

RLC reduces or increases the possibility of rear-end crashes depends on the speed of the

trailing vehicle and the headway between vehicles. (Helai, Chor, & Haque, 2008)

Figure 16 A photo taken from a camera for an accident involving RLR (Administration, 2005)

Another study conducted by the Federal Highway Administration used the

Empirical bays for before and after crashes data from 132 treatment sites. Crash effects

detected were consistent in direction with those found in many previous studies:

Page 71: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

52

decreased right-angle crashes and increased rear end ones. The economic analysis

examined the extent to which the increase in rear end crashes negates the benefits for

decreased right-angle crashes. There was indeed a modest aggregate crash cost benefit of

RLC systems. The study concluded that economic benefits (see Table 8) could go to its

highest level during the occurrence of the highest total entering average annual daily

traffic, the largest ratios of right-angle to rear end crashes, and the presence of protected

left-turn phases.

Note that FHA used samples (K+B+C+A) to refer to different crash cost levels. A

refers to cost estimate of fatal and serious crash levels, K for injury estimate of right

angle crashes, and B- and C- level refer to injury estimate of rear end and left turn crashes.

(Federal Highway Administration, 2005)

Table 8 Unit crash cost estimates by severity level used in the economic effects analysis. (Federal

Highway Administration, 2005)

K+A+B+C (Standard deviation) $64468 (11919) $53659 (9276)

Note: In this study, (K+A+B+C) are all combined to refer to injury level crashes due to inconsistent sample

size while O refers to non-injury level crashes. (Administration, 2005)

A meta-analysis was used to determine the effects of red-light cameras (RLCs) on

intersection crashes. The study shows that the size and direction of results reported from

studies included in the meta-analysis are strongly affected by study methodology. The

studies that have controlled for most confounding factors yield the least favorable results.

Based on these studies, installation of RLCs leads to an overall increase in the number of

Page 72: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

53

crashes by about 15%. Rear-end crashes increase by about 40% and right angle crashes,

which are the target crashes for RLC, are reduced by about 10%. All effects are, however,

non-significant. Meta-regression analysis shows that results are more favorable when

there is a lack of control for regression to the mean (RTM). (Erke, 2009)

RLC Spillover Effect (Halo Effect)

There is some but not much evidence that RLR cameras will not only deter

motorists from violating a signal at intersections equipped with cameras, but will also

modify driver behavior at other intersections. If cameras do have an effect on driver

behavior beyond those intersections where the cameras are used, then the other

intersections in the area will likely also experience a decrease in angle crashes. This is a

spillover effect or a halo effect.

A study of an RLR camera program in Oxnard, California, found a decrease in

crashes at intersections with cameras and intersections without cameras. The study’s

authors attributed this reduction to spillover. (Retting R. A., 2002). On the other hand, an

evaluation of cameras in Sydney, Australia, did not find a significant reduction in RLR-

related crashes at intersections without cameras. The authors concluded that spillover did

not occur at non-camera intersections used as control group intersections. (IMBERGER,

2003)

A national study involving multiple jurisdictions has yet to prove that this red

light camera spillover effect does or does not occur. Consequently, the studies suggested

that agencies should consider the possibility of this spillover in their evaluation of RLR

cameras and modify their methodology or conclusions accordingly. Also, agencies

Page 73: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

54

(according to the author) may want to evaluate and quantify the spillover effect in

addition to the effect at intersections equipped with cameras. (McGee & Eccles, 2006)

The effectiveness of red light running cameras in reducing the number of drivers

who run the red light in Clive, Iowa was evaluated. The number of red light running

violations at camera-enforced intersection approaches were compared to violations at

approaches at intersections where cameras were not used within the same metropolitan

area using a cross-sectional analysis. A Poisson lognormal regression was used to

evaluate the effectiveness of the cameras in reducing violations. Results indicated that red

light running cameras substantially reduced the number of violations at camera-enforced

approaches as compared to control approaches. (Fitzsimmons, Hallmark, Orellana,

McDonald, & Matulac, 2009)

In June 2010, Arlington County, Virginia, installed red light cameras at four

heavily traveled signalized intersections. A study examined the effects of the camera

enforcement on red light violations. Traffic was videotaped during the one month

warning period and both one month and one year after ticketing began at 12 signalized

intersections, including the four camera intersections, four “spillover” intersections

without cameras in Arlington County (two on the same travel corridors as the camera

intersections and two on different travel corridors), and four “control” intersections

without cameras in adjacent Fairfax County. Rates of red light violations per 10,000

vehicles were computed.

Page 74: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

Figure 17 Intersections studied in Arlington Virginia (McCartt & Hu, 2013)

Consistent with prior research, there were significant reductions in red light

violations at camera-enforced intersections. These reductions were greater the more time

that passed since the light turned red, when violations are more likely to result in crashes.

Spillover benefits were observed only for nearby intersections on the same travel

corridor, and these were not always statistically significant. At intersections on other

travel corridors, red light running increased compared with expected rates based on the

control intersections. (See Table 9)

The study concluded that this evaluation examined the first year of Arlington

County’s red light camera program only, which was modest in scope and without

ongoing publicity. A larger, more widely publicized program likely is needed to achieve

community-wide effects. (McCartt & Hu, 2013)

RLC Site Selections Although there are many studies that have investigated the safety improvement of

the RLC system, there are relatively very few studies that have covered the RLC sites

selection and where/ when to implement them especially when considering the cost

associated with the system.

A general study provides a tool for identifying and priority-ranking problem

intersections with respect to red light running within the entire roadway network under

the jurisdiction of a particular agency. The tool includes three steps as a guide to

estimate the safety changes upon installation of a red light camera at a signalized

intersection. These three steps are: empirical Bayes method, collision prediction models,

and collision modification factors (the assumption of negative binomial error distribution

was used for developing the last step). (Hadayeghi, Malone, Suggett, & Reid, 2007)

The city of Durham wished to explore the feasibility of implementing a red light

camera program. Particularly, they wanted to ensure that the sites were selected in an

objective and defensible manner based on sound traffic engineering judgment. The study

concluded that RLC sites selection criteria could be based on two main elements: the

overrepresentation of angle crashes and the higher than expected number of crashes.

Additionally, the study used a more detailed field investigation to observe things like the

signal timings, intersection layout, traffic signal type and placement, prevailing traffic

patterns and operating speeds, and the suitability of each approach for a red light camera.

Based on the review, a short list of candidate sites/approaches was developed. For

approaches remaining on the short list, it was suggested that the occurrence of red light

running be confirmed through a detailed violation records, and rear end crashes be

closely monitored in the post-implementation period. (Suggett, Malone, & Borchuk,

2005)

The Intersection Safety Camera Program (ISCP) in British Columbia, Canada, has

proved effective in reducing the frequency of crashes at locations where red light cameras

have been deployed. Post-implementation evaluations of ISCP conducted by the

Insurance Corporation of British Columbia detected a 14% reduction in crashes resulting

in injuries 18 months after the program was implemented. A follow-up study conducted

36 months after ISCP implementation examined the safety performance of ISCP and

found that the rate of crashes resulting in injuries was reduced by 6.4%. Given the

ongoing and long-term success of ISCP at reducing crashes, it was decided that the

program should be expanded. To support ISCP expansion, it was necessary to examine

how the program had been implemented and to learn from the results of the previous

program evaluations. A critical element of ISCP is the selection of sites to be targeted for

deployment of intersection safety cameras. The sites selected should have a demonstrated

safety problem, such as results from previous evaluations of intersection safety camera

after installation. In addition, sites should be selected such that the life-cycle cost of

deployment of the intersection safety camera will be less than the safety benefits that will

accrue from reduced numbers of crashes and the associated costs. (de Leur & Milner,

2011)

The twelfth offering of a Mentors Program at Texas A&M University on

Advanced Surface Transportation Systems presented a document in 2002 by the

Advanced Institute in Transportation Systems Operations and Management. One of the

papers that was discussed and presented was about the criterion of sites selection. The

paper has an introduction that indicates the lack of papers and studies related to RLC site

selection and the actual need for a uniform set of criteria to aid traffic engineers and cities

in the site selection process. From a survey that included most of US cities that have

RLC installed in their transportation system, results showed that the three most

commonly used criteria are the history of red light crashes, red light citations, and

engineering issues associated with intersection.

The author of the paper suggested a set of major and minor guidelines that should

be used. The guidelines are developed using successful experiences with similar

situations. Guidelines are used when a policy would be too limiting or confining, or for

situations that are highly variable. They allow careful assessment of intersection

conditions that are indicators for the need of traffic control devices or engineering

countermeasures. These guidelines were presented as follows:

Major guidelines 1. Accident History

The use of accident statistics can be helpful in this area, though the author disagrees with

the total reliance on them alone. Accident statistics should be used to identify problem

areas that need to be investigated further.

2. Red Light Citation History

The evidence that there is a problem is a good indicator that countermeasures need to be

implemented. Usually the presence of these citations is more of an indicator of allocation

of available police resources and the relative safety of enforcing the law. Nevertheless,

this is a red flag that should alert one to possible problem intersections though others may

exist.

60

3. Approach Speeds

As the speed increases, the severity of resulting crashes increase as well. There may be

situations where there are high approach speeds and high violations, but few crashes.

These areas need to be further evaluated and closely monitored for possible development

of crashes.

Minor guidelines

1. Traffic and Pedestrian Volumes

Generally higher traffic volumes relate to a greater probability of violations and crashes.

This is of particular concern when the cross-street traffic volumes are also high as well.

While the crash of two vehicles can result in either injury or death, the same is not true of

a vehicle-pedestrian collision. Intuitively, the pedestrian is almost always killed or

severely injured when a vehicle runs a red light and collides with them. As a result,

intersections with high pedestrian volumes and/ or traffic volumes need to be closely

examined.

2. Intersection Degree of Saturation

With higher degrees of saturations at intersections the headway gaps between vehicles are

smaller. Consequentially, there is a greater probably of a vehicle running a red light

whether intentionally or unintentionally. The difference between these two intentions

needs to be recognized and quantified.

3. Perceived Benefit to Cost

As with all engineering countermeasures, the costs associated with the installation of a

system should be evaluated. These costs do not only include the costs of construction and

equipment, but also the beneficial costs received from the reduction in crashes due to red

Page 80: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

light violators. (Qu, 2003)

From analysis of the data, there are intersections in Rhode Island where RLR is a

problem. A model is developed to prioritize intersections based on a Composite

Intersection Index (CII), where the highest score indicates the most problematic

intersection. The CII is based on a comprehensive set of variables including the

following: (1) the entering average daily traffic (ADT) (in 10,000s of vehicles) per

number of lanes entering the intersection; (2) the rate of RLR violations occurring after 1

second; (3) the number of phases; and the (4) average approach speed (based on approach

speed limits). (Hunter, 2003)

CHAPTER IV

METHODOLOGY

Introduction

Although red light cameras are widely used to discourage red light running,

relatively few studies have been done on how to best deploy these cameras to maximize

their efficacy. Due to their high price tags, many jurisdictions will purchase a relatively

smaller number of cameras and rotate them among a larger number of camera-ready

intersections. This methodology chapter is divided into two sections. The first section is a

brief description of the reasons behind choosing these cities and a representation of the

data required to complete the study. The second section covers the analytical-based

methodology, which will be used to determine the number of cameras needed to

effectively enforce locations within a certain city limit. The study will use data from the

cities of Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Denver to be able to implement the

methodology and derive the findings.

Why These Locations as Case Studies?

There are several reasons for choosing these locations, which I divided into

general and specific reasons:

1) General Reasons

There is an ongoing controversy in the state of Colorado regarding the

effectiveness of red light cameras, which generated two bills to the State Senate during

the years of 2012 and 2013. Areas like RLC is main objective, types of crashes it is

causing, and the involvement in public privacy are some of concerns citizens hold on

RLC, and therefore studies like this will clarify some argumentative points.

Page 82: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

63

The case studies represent three cities with different characteristics, which is

another concern associated with implementing RLC systems, and therefore results should

indicate whether the system can or cannot be impacted by different city characteristics.

Additionally, it is obvious that such a topic is highly based on the data collection

stage (as mentioned earlier), which may require several calls, field investigations, and

physical visits to the data sources, besides the need to physically commute to these cities

several times to collect and update some of the collected data. Therefore, data

accessibility is another reason why these cities were chosen.

2) Specific Reasons (effective and ineffective programs)

In Colorado Springs, the RLC program started back in 2010 and was shut down

one year after that for ineffective results. It seems obvious that there was something

implemented or managed differently than in the Fort Collins and Denver cases that have

been running their programs for more years (over 10 years already). Consequently, the

study can make a very solid comparison between current actual RLC locations and the

ones suggested by the study.

Finally, availability of data for a good length of time in the city of Colorado

Springs, Fort Collins, and Denver is a plus for choosing the cities as case studies,

especially with RLC site selection studies that require at least a period of 3 years data to

show meaningful results.

Data Required and Field Investigation

In order to implement the criterion of RLC sites selection, specific data are

required. Most of the data were obtained from the traffic engineering office, police

Page 83: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

64

department, and from some field investigation of each city, while other types of data were

not available and therefore not included in the analysis chapter.

The following data were collected for 82 signalized intersections in Colorado

Springs (from 2007-2009), 106 signalized intersections in Fort Collins (from 2010-2012),

and 309 signalized intersections in Denver (from 2010-2012). (Note: all data are for a 3-

year period).

- Traffic volume/ approach/ intersection.

- Crash Types which were categorized into front to side, rear-end crashes and other.

- Crash severity that is divided into fatal crashes, injury crashes, and property

damage crashes.

- Approach or direction of the “At-fault” vehicle.

- Intersection characteristics.

- Overall final locations of RLC.

Table 10 illustrates the type of data, its source, and time period where data was

Methodology

There are several possible criteria and procedures that could be used for RLC site

selection, but the availability of data must be taken into account in developing the criteria

and procedures. In the study, there are two main phases, each having specific criteria that

could be followed in order to identify candidate RLC sites.

All signalized intersections with available data in each city will be screened and

tested using the criteria in Phase I. Before moving to Phase II, candidate RLC sites from

each test will be scaled by weighting factors determined by the city stakeholders and

decision makers to make the final ranking list. Finally, qualified intersections will be

evaluated by conducting a comprehensive field investigation in Phase II.

The following provides a detailed description of the two phases and tests under

each of them.

Phase I “Includes Four Criteria”

1- Criterion of Crashes Severity

Although crash frequency has often been the primary consideration in the

implementation of RLC, crashes differ in severity. There are several levels of crash

severity which should be considered when choosing RLC location. From the literature

review, crash severity is mostly divided into three different levels: crashes resulting in

fatalities, injuries, and property damage only. Each of these crash severities was given a

relative weight representing its impact level.

- 100 for crashes resulting in fatalities.

- 10 for crashes resulting in injuries.

The higher crash severity level is for a specific intersection, the higher that intersection is

ranked among the list of the city’s intersections. (This applies to both equations).

Where:

CSL = Crash Severity Level

2- Potential For Improvement (PFI)

The term potential for improvement (PFI) is used as a measure for identification

of the criteria crash rate and crash frequency for all locations included in a city, based on

a certain parameter or benchmark. Figure (19) shows a graphical illustration of the

concept of PFI, and why some values are below the line (negative). In the graphic, sites 1

and 2 have a positive value for the PFI, as they are above the blue line. Conversely, site 3

has a negative value for the PFI, as it is below the line.

In each of the case studies, potential for improvement will be measured in crash

rate and crash frequency. Since average rate was used as a parameter, the locations will

be divided into positive and negative values. Negative values mean that there is no

potential for improvement. In fact, these locations are performing better than normal /

average. The negative crash rate (or frequency) value means that this is the number of

crashes below an average crash rate (or frequency) level and since it is below, there is no

PFI. In the other hand, the positive crash rate and frequency value means that this is the

number of crashes above an average crash rate (frequency) level and since it is above,

there is a PFI.

Normally, collision prediction model (CPM) is used as a parameter to measure

potential for improvement, however, in this study the normal average rate will be used

instead. (See equation 5)

Next, weighted scores from all top 10 locations from each of the criteria will be

added up to make the final top 10 that combined all the criteria in phase I.

The final top 10 should be processed and moved on towards Phase II for further

analysis to conclude the final RLC candidate list for each city.

3- Economic Evaluation

As discussed in the literature review chapter, a big chunk of the argument related

to the RLC systems is based on the opinion that it is more about increasing cities’

revenue rather than improving the safety level. Therefore, considering this element while

selecting RLC locations is a plus toward the success of the program in any community.

An economic evaluation of each of the final top 10 RLC candidates will evaluate

these locations after installation in an annual basis. Cost of RLC, revenue generated from

the system, and safety benefits are the three elements involved to execute this criterion.

Total Cost of RLC per year + Total Revenue of RLC per year < Total Safety Benefits per year

Equation 12 RLC Economic evaluation. (ALTurki, 2013)

Where:

Total Cost of RLC = Overall cost of RLC installation, operation, maintenance in a given location

/ Year. (This can be obtained from RLC providers).

Total Revenue of RLC = Overall revenue generated by RLC in a given location / Year. (Total of

RLC tickets value)

Ave Safety Benefits = Average cost of a crash producing PDO and injuries. (Determined by

major auto insurance companies)

According to the city of Fort Collins around 80-100 tickets/month are generated by RLC

which means a revenue of $120,000/year. If quick assumptions are made, a RLC costs

$40,000 which means $480,000/year, that includes the process of installation, operation,

and maintenance. This will total up to $600,000 (if we assume city and operator are

lobbying together as claimed by parties standing against the system).

A study published by the National safety council estimated motor-vehicle crashes as

(National Safety Council, 2000):

Death = $1M

Injuries= $35,500

PDO= $6,500

The estimates were based on wage and productivity losses, medical expenses,

administrative expenses, motor vehicle damaged, and employer costs. If estimates are

used as average safety estimate, then there is no doubt that average safety benefits will

exceed total cost and revenue of RLC, because if RLC prevents 2 crashes resulting in

injuries/ month = $71,000 (which is more than $850,000 per year. Injuries level of

severity alone will exceed RLC cost and revenue combined.

By the end of each year, locations where safety benefits exceed total RLC cost

and revenue are proofing their economic effectiveness and should remain under operation.

In contrast, locations where total RLC cost and revenue are more than its safety benefits

are not considered economically effective and should be eliminated.

4- Intersection Characteristics

During sites selection criterion “Phase II”, more variables are used to eliminate

these qualified intersections even further. One of the steps is to visit the sites and

evaluate their characteristics and suitability for RLC based on (PASS and FAIL) scoring

system. Locations with high PASS score indicate a need for further action such as a RLC

system, while locations with low PASS score indicate a need to fix these characteristics

before installing a RLC.

78

There are four characteristics that should be included as part of the field

evaluation, these are:

� Intersection Layout: It includes four guidelines:

•••• Lane width: Lane widths are commonly narrower on low volume roads and wider

on higher volume roads. According to ITE, 12- foot lanes are desirable, although

widths as narrow as 10 feet have been used in severely constrained situations

unless large trucks and buses are using the lane. Therefore, the range from 10-12

will be sat as a parameter for all final top 10 sites.

•••• Lighting: Statistics indicate that the non-daylight accident rate is higher than that

during daylight hours. This fact, to a large degree, may be attributed to impaired

visibility. In urban and suburban areas where there are concentrations of

pedestrians and roadside and intersectional interferences, fixed-source lighting

tends to reduce crashes (American Association of State Highway and

Transportation Officials (AASHTO), 2001).

•••• Clear Signage: Roadway signs in the United States increasingly use symbols

rather than words to convey their message. Symbols provide instant

communication with roadway users, overcome language barriers, and are

becoming standard for traffic control devices throughout the world. Familiarity

with symbols on traffic signs is important for every road user in order to maintain

the safety and efficiency of our transportation facilities. Proper and clear signs

associated with the nature of the intersection design is a must for each of the final

top 10 sites to pass the field investigation.

Page 98: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

79

•••• Channelization: One of the most effective and efficient methods of controlling

the traffic on a highway is the adoption of high intersection geometric design

standards. Channelization is an integral part of at grade intersections and is used

to separate turning movements from through movements where this is considered

advisable and hence helps reduce the intensity and frequency of loss of life and

property due to accidents to a large extent. Proper Channelization increases

capacity, improves safety, provides maximum convenience, and instills driver

confidence. Improper Channelization has the opposite effect and may be worse

than none at all. Over Channelization should be avoided because it could create

confusion and worsen operations. Channelization is defined as the separation or

regulation of conflicting traffic movements into delineated paths of travel by

traffic islands or pavement marking to facilitate the safe and orderly movements

of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

All guidelines should meet CDOT requirements for signalized intersections (

Colorado Department of Transportation, 2000).

� Approach Speed: Speed limits are set by each state or territory. Speed limits are

always posted in increments of five miles per hour. Some states have lower limits

for trucks and at night, and occasionally there are minimum speed limits. Most

speed limits are set by state or local statute, although each state allows various

agencies to set a different, generally lower, limit. However in this study, the pass

parameter is that to have the average speed limit less or equal to the posted speed

limit in order to pass the field investigation.

80

� Yellow Phase Change Interval: As discussed earlier, excessively short or long

yellow change intervals may encourage driver disrespect and unsafe operating

practices. Therefore, it is important to confirm that all top 10 RLC candidates are

within the suggested ITE yellow interval values (See table 14).

� Social Structure: Another worthwhile evaluation characteristic here is to make

sure the area where RLC will be installed is suitable and has no excessive

vandalism that would target the camera. This can be measured by reviewing

criminal history and income level of the area, which is normally provided by the

city police department.

6- Approaches Determination

From the literature review, implementing RLC does not apply to all approaches

because of many reasons like the cost of the equipment itself, which exceeds $40,000 to

lease per month. Therefore, it is highly important to define the approach that the vehicle

at fault was using as part of the sites selection processes. This step could be processed

after specifying the intersections from Phase I and by eliminating the number of

intersections to approaches only. (See Table 16)

Table 16 Table used for determining numbers of “at-fault vehicles” in each approach (ALTurki, 2013)

Number of at fault vehicles / approach

Intersection # Intersection EB WB NB SB TC

1 Name

7- Red Light Camera Locations

As noted in the literature review chapter, placing RLCs close to each other or

distributing them along the same corridor might limit their safety impact. It is also

important to place the cameras in a manner where residents of the city feel the equity and

do not have the feeling that they are targeted from other parts of the city.

Therefore, two major factors can be the guidance in this regard; those are distance

and direction. When determining RLC final locations, there should not be any cameras

that are located in the same traffic travel direction unless it is located in a distance of 3

miles or more (ALTurki, 2013).

Table 17 presents a conclusion for all criteria, formulas, and expected findings

from phases I and II of the methodology chapter.

Expected Findings

This part of the study will provide an analytical-based methodology for RLC sites

selection that could be used by any city that decides to launch a RLC program within a

certain jurisdiction. This analytical-based methodology was also supported by a field

investigation that ensures comprehensive analysis and more accurate final RLC

candidates.

The advantage of this methodology is the fact that it is based on two main phases

that require accessible and available data in many cities. This allows any city to analyze

and implement the program faster than similar projects normally take while maintaining

comprehensiveness, as it was shown in table 17.

Considering the fact that RLC is normally installed at one approach of the

intersection, it was recommended that RLC should be installed at the northbound

approach of E Woodmen Rd/I-25, the southbound approach of Briargate PY/N Powers

Blvd, the northbound approach of N Academy Blvd/Vickers Dr. This was determined

given the history of at fault vehicles crashes per approach of each of the intersections for

the period of three years. (Table 25)

• RLC Locations

Below is a map with final RLC locations noting that they cannot be located within

3 miles of each other unless they are located in different directions. The intersection of

Briargate PY/N Powers Blvd is located within 3 miles of E Woodmen Rd/I-25. However,

their RLCs’ are recommended in different directions, therefore, they will be installed in

both locations. Additional RLC is recommended at the northbound of N Academy

Blvd/Vickers Dr. Final RLC locations in the city of Colorado Springs are shown in the

following map.

Considering the fact that RLC is normally installed in one approach of the

intersection, it was recommended that RLC should be installed at Northbound of S

College Ave & W Monroe Dr, S College Ave & E Harmony Rd, S College Ave & W

Tribly Rd, and S Timberline Rd & E Drake Rd. An additional RLC to be installed at the

Southbound of S Timberline Rd & E Horsetooth Rd. This was determined given the

history of at fault vehicle crashes per approach of each of the intersections for the period

of three years. (Table 33)

• RLC Location

Below is a map with final RLC locations noting that they cannot be located within

3 miles of each other unless they are located in different directions. Although S

Timberline Rd & E Horsetooth Rd and S Timberline Rd & E Drake Rd are located within

3 miles distance, however, RLCs’ are recommended in two different directions, therefore,

two more RLCs’ are to be installed at both intersections. The intersections of S College

Ave & W Monroe Dr and S College Ave & W Tribly Rd should be installed with no

As a conclusion of the intersection characteristics field investigation (See table 40),

3 out of 10 intersections that have the highest score will be qualified to get RLC installed

since they passed most of the intersection characteristics, but still have red light related

crashes. Those intersections are:

1) S Monaco & Leetsdale Dr.

2) N Colorado Blvd & E Colfax Ave.

3) S University Blvd & E Evans Ave.

3 S University Blvd E Evans Blvd 39 29 19 12 99

Considering the fact that RLC is normally installed in one approach of the

intersection, it was recommended that RLC should be installed at the southbound approach

of S Monaco & Leetsdale Dr, Northbound approach of N Colorado Blvd & E Colfax Ave,

and Eastbound approach of S University Blvd & E Evans Blvd. This was determined

given the history of at fault crashes per approach of each of the intersections for the period

of three years. (Table 41)

• RLC Location

Below is a map with final RLC locations noting that they cannot be located within

3 miles of each other unless they are located in different directions. According to

intersection characteristics and number of crashes per approach, RLCs’ are recommended

to be installed in the following locations: The intersections of the southbound approach of

S Monaco & Leetsdale Dr, Northbound approach of N Colorado Blvd & E Colfax Ave,

and Westbound approach of S University Blvd & E Evans Blvd are located in a distance of

more than 3 miles and their RLC locations are recommended in different directions and

therefore they still can be installed in all three locations. Final RLC locations in the city of

Denver are shown in the following map:

Analysis of Denver’s RLC Systems Before and After Installation

Some of before RLC installation data was available for one of the case studies, which

is Denver. Data was combined with the recent 3 years data used in the RLC site

selection analysis and a comparison was conducted at three points (Total crashes,

Front to side crashes, and rear end crashes). The analysis was limited to the four

current RLC locations in order to measure RLC effectiveness since installation in

summer 2008. (Osher, 2010)

Table 42 Total crashes by year in current RLC locations in Denver.

Intersection / TC 2003 2004 2006 2007 2008 (RLC Started) 2009 2010-2012

E 6th Ave & N Lincoln St 70 65 64 66 46 39 (42.9%) 37.7

Note: 2005 data was not fully reported and therefore was not included.

Figure 57 Trend of total crashes before and after the year of RLC installation at four signalized

intersections in Denver

When comparing total red light related crashes reported during the period of 2010-

2012 to the year of 2007 (the year before RLC installation), it looks that there is

always a decrease of more than 35% except W 8th Ave & N Speer Blvd which reports

around 6% decrease only. (See table 42 & Figure 56)

When comparing front to side type of crashes reported during the period of 2010-

2012 to the year of 2007 (the year before RLC installation), results show a decrease in

locations which is very consistent with the outcomes from RLC studies that measures

effectiveness in term of crash types. (See Table 43 & Figure 57)

Figure 59 Trend of rear end type of crashes before and after the year of RLC installation at four signalized

intersections in Denver

On the other hand, when comparing rear end type of crashes reported during the

period of 2010-2012 to the year of 2007 (the year before RLC installation), results

show an increase in rear end crashes (with respect to total volume) after installation

of RLC at all 4 locations which is very consistent with the outcomes from RLC studies

that measures effectiveness in term of crash types. (See Table 44 & Figure 58)

From past research and the results of the evaluations conducted in this dissertation,

the installation of RLCs generally is normally associates with intersections with high

collision rate or traffic violations, while there are several criteria that should be considered

before selection is made. This research used criteria that represent both comprehensiveness

and accessibility, and were divided into two phases to ensure the quality of the final

selections. In phase I, all signalized intersections in a city were included and tested using

three of the major criteria which are usually associated with RLC studies, those are crash

severity (normalized and non-normalized), potential for improvement based on crash rate

and crash frequency, and finally crash types. All were weighted using proportionality to

obtain relative weights equation (which was determine by the city engineers). The results

of the statistical analysis (top 10 from phase I) were moved to phase II for further analysis

Page 162: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

143

that contain both statistical criteria (the economic evaluation, type of vehicles, and

fluctuation of crashes), besides three other field investigation criteria (intersection

characteristics, approach determination, and final red light camera locations).

The study took a practical path when it implemented the methodology on three of

the major cities in the state of Colorado, those are Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and

Denver and concluded findings of RLC candidate sites that are problematic and require a

safety countermeasure according to each city engineers.

More data for Denver was available to conduct more analysis that could enhance

the final research findings. Data includes total crashes, and crash types (front to side, and

rear end) reported before four years of RLC installation (which was in summer of 2008).

Results were consistent with findings from most RLC studies in all three compared points.

Recommendations and Conclusions

Generally, when reviewing the study, several recommendations and conclusions

can be derived in the following bullets:

- This study grouped most of the criteria that were known to be effective when

selecting RLC locations as well as additional criteria in two phases of analysis

processes.

- Besides using several criteria, the study kept one of its main objectives, which

is basing its criteria on accessible data.

- The study methodology was tested in three different cities with different

characteristics, so it ensures diversity.

Page 163: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

144

- The cases studies were chosen to target cities with and without RLC systems to

compare final results (RLC candidates) to existing RLC locations.

- Benefit of performing relative weight at the end of phase I is quite noticeable

when looking at intersections that are among top 10 in a certain criterion, but

are not in the final top 10 candidates.

- Additionally, total weighted score at some intersections was reduced by

negative PFI values (These locations reporting negative PFI are indicating no

potential for improvement in relation to crash rate or crash frequency). Thus, it

provides more accurate results.

- It is noticeable that some intersections were among top 10 in a specific criterion,

but it was far from the final top 10 for all criteria combined. This is basically

due to the original weight determined by the city in the first place.

- The level of importance the city considers for each criterion in phase I by

weighting each of them have a significant impact on the final top 10. This is a

plus because it is always believed that the city has a chance to participate and

provide inputs as oppose to leave it all to the consultant or the operator.

- Colorado Springs was one of the cities that has no RLC system under operation,

however, the final locations determined by the study were examined by the city

engineer Andy Richter who quoted:

“Yes, the locations you have listed have been problematic for us for many years. We are starting to install flashing yellow beacons with a sign stating that the signal is about to change to red when flashing. Basically the vehicles will not make it on green. We are trying this as an alternative to see if we can reduce red light running. We will see if it works. CDOT has done the very same thing on state highways where the speeds are much higher. Take care Mansour and thank you for the results of the locations”.

145

This was a perfect indication of the criteria and processes chosen when

selecting RLC locations.

- In Fort Collins, RLC candidate locations were all recommended in the same

corridor of the current RLC locations, which indicates no spillover effect of

current RLC locations. It might also be the learning curve that drivers have

become familiar with the area, especially when knowing that the current two

locations were installed back in 1997 and 2006.

- In Denver, it was surprisingly derived that E 6th Ave & N Lincoln St is among

the final top 10 of candidate locations concluded from phase I despite the fact

that it is one of the current RLC locations and has been under operation since

the summer of 2008. However, it was not recommended eventually to receive a

RLC due to its failure to pass the field investigation (Failed in average speed &

yellow phase). This pretty much explains the reason why E 6th Ave & N

Lincoln St has not had very successful results compared to the other three

current RLC locations.

- During one of my frequent visits to Anderson Academic Commons at

University of Denver, I noticed police and ambulance vehicles forcing traffic

into certain directions and arranging pedestrians crossing the intersections of S

University Blvd & E Evans Ave. After I asked one of the police officers around

I was told that a red light runner hit a bicyclist who unfortunately passed away

at the same moment. Later on during my analysis of Denver intersections, the

intersection of S University Blvd & E Evans Ave came to be one of the top 10

candidates concluded from phase I, and it passed all the filed investigation

Page 165: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

146

conducted in phase II except that it 1.5s less than the minimum yellow phase

timing required by ITE. Eventually, S University Blvd & E Evans Ave was

recommended as one of the RLC candidates.

Figure 60 City of Denver warns drivers to drive safely as they approach the intersection of S University Blvd & E Evans Ave.

- Data was a major obstacle especially when considering the nature of the subject

and therefore, some of phase II criteria were not included in the analysis and

thus not included in the final results.

- As indicated earlier, all intersections of the city were included with exception to

those with no data available. Case studies like Fort Collins and Denver where

RLC system currently exists; yellow highlighting was used in all of the analysis

tables to identify these current locations and make comparison to other

locations easily.

Page 166: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

147

- Although RLC’s before and after analysis in Denver shows overall consistency

with findings from other RLC studies, there are still some points that worth

further investigation. For instance, intersections of W N Qubic St & E 36th

Ave and N Kalamath St & W 6th Ave are not shown significant decrease after

RLC installation in terms of number of crashes (See table 44), and therefore a

question would be why the city chose to make a big investment (up to 40K a

month) and install RLC at these locations.

- When referring to table 44, it was very interesting to see that number of rear

end crashes were in fact reduced in the year of 2009 (just one year of

installation), however the number increased again as most studies concluded in

the years after. This might be interpreted by the term “learning curve” where

drivers gain more awareness of these RLC locations as time passed and get to

slam on their breaks as they approach these sites.

- In Fort Collins, before RLC installation data was not available for the two RLC

intersections S College Ave & E Drake Rd (installed back in 1997) and S

Timberline Rd & Harmony Dr (Installed back in 2006), however, RLC top 10

candidates recommended by this study did not include any of these two

locations. In fact, none of them were recommended under any of the criteria

studied and there were always ranked down the list of the 106 signalized

intersections studied. This is an indication of an effective RLC system

experience in the city of Fort Collins that worth considering as an ideal example

for any future studies.

Page 167: DETERMINING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RED LIGHT CAMERA ...digital.auraria.edu/content/AA/00/00/14/42/00001/AA00001442_0000… · MANSOUR ABDULHAMID ALTURKI MEng, University of Colorado

148

- This last bullet concluded that Fort Collins RLC system experience is good

example according to this study results, however, it is also important to know

that the city did not experience that immediately at the intersection of S College

Ave & E Drake Rd. A media report published back in 2005 confirmed that the

city has increased the yellow time interval for one second, and the intersection

has experience dramatic drops since then. In few months after the change and

for two months of comparison, crashes were reduced by 58% while citations

dropped by 63%. (BENSON, 2005)

- From the literature review conducted in this study which mostly based on

studies and researches available from Transportation Research Board (TRB), it

is obvious that majority of the findings agree that RLC systems decrease total

red light related crashes, front to side crashes, and increase rear end ones. In

the other hand, there are still some different findings that are usually biased by

the level of analysis when comparing to the ones available at TRB. For

instance, a speaker from New Jersey in a report published by NBC news says

front to side crashes increased 400%, which is a finding that does not comply

with any of the studies I have reviewed. It can only be possible if the speaker

was referring a particular intersection(s) where other traffic signal changes were

made and there were very few front to side crashes there previously so an

increase from 1 to 4 is 400%, or there was something wrong with the selecting

process of these RLC locations at the first place (NBC news, 2014)
