Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for assessing the relative probability that a driver will receive a traffic citation as a function of real-time, monitored vehicle activity within the context of historic spatial and temporal traffic citation data. Exemplary systems and methods determine risk as a function of such factors as (1) local roadway ticket histories, (2) vehicle characteristics, (3) real-time vehicle and engine operating parameters, (4) roadway and intersection design configurations, speed limit and design speed conflicts, and operating conditions, and (5) environmental conditions, for example.
