Development of new strategic directions for the ATE program in Western Australia

Research and analysis
The aim of this project is to use the outcomes from the evaluation of the WA ATE program to provide further strategic directions for expansion and optimisation of the program.

Stage 2: Candidate locations

Working from the results of the Stage 1 inquiry, the researchers:

  • Mapped possible strategies to optimise operating practices for mobile speed cameras in terms of site coverage and revisitation frequency;

  • Examined the potential use of point to point camera systems, including considering potential locations; and
  • Considered options to expand the ATE program in Western Australia.

Road safety benefit:

  • The report allows for evidence-based decision making in ATE.

Stage 3: A new resource allocation and expansion model

This project applied the results from the evaluation of the ATE program to provide a detailed cost-benefit analysis that can be used to inform decisions for the expansion and optimisation of the program to further reduce serious crashes.

Road safety benefit:

  • The research provided insight into optimal operating practices for mobile speed cameras in terms of site coverage and revisitation frequency.

  • It identified the potential use of mobile, point to point camera systems.
  • The report provided a cost-benefit analysis.

The analysis notes any decisions about further expansion will be taken in the context of the overall approach to road safety and speed enforcement as one part of an overall approach.
