Abstract	Automated enforcement programs, including automated systems that are used to enforce red light running violations, have recently come under scrutiny regarding their value in terms of improving safety, their primary purpose. One of the major hurdles to overcome in assessing the value of automated enforcement programs is the limited amount of before/after crash and violation data available. This paper reports on a far reaching literature review and, in addition, on crash data from a few sites in the United States. The study draws on several techniques, to evaluate the effect of automated enforcement cameras on reducing crashes and violations at signalized intersections.
