Abstract:Enforcement of California’s HOV lanes currently requires substantial commitments of California Highway Patrol (CHP) personnel and equipment. Personnel costs for enforcing the state’s ten mainline HOV lanes alone will exceed $400,000 in 1990. HOV lane enforcement has other costs as well. These include the risks of high-speed pursuit in lanes adjacent to stop-and-go traffic and the deterioration of traffic flow when tickets are issued during peak commute periods. It has been suggested that using video equipment to assist in HOV lane enforcement could reduce the requirements for patrol officers, increase citation rates, and minimize freeway disruption. The current investigation has been designed to extend past studies of HOV lane enforcement by testing both the feasibility and accuracy of the use of video equipment in HOV lane surveillance. The objective of the current study has been to demonstrate and test the use of video equipment in determining vehicle occupancy, documenting violator identity, and aiding enforcement of HOV lanes.
