ECONOMIC IMPACT: 11B DRIVER BEHAVIOR SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT (TRASER)
All Texas Jurisdictions that are charged with the responsibility of traffic
law enforcement have a common problem in trying to identify where to place
their limited resources (personnel and equipment) in order to have the
greatest impact on the motor vehicle accidents involved in their jurisdic-
tion. Data they receive is sometimes three or four months old before they
have an opportunity to evaluate their needs. TRASER will allow for the up-
to- the - minute input in order to do the best planning possible.
The objective is to reduce the total accidents at TRASER selected sites and
to build an automated traffic records system to record 100% of all accident
reports and police citations.
100% funded by Highway Dept. - Grant for 5 years
