Utilising Enforcement to Change Driver Behaviour
At the Australian Road Safety Conference 2024, Acusensus Founder and Managing Director, Alexander Jannink, spoke about the increasing potential of enforcement in shaping driver behaviour. Enforcement has proven to be an effective educational tool as it places emphasis on safeguarding all road users and fostering a culture of responsible driving.
The Transportable Road Safety Camera Program, a trailer based speed enforcement program with Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland, demonstrated the impact of enforcement tools. Initial data revealed concerning levels of speeding, with hundreds of drivers exceeding limits by over 40 km/h. Following the QLD Transportable Speed Program utilising Acusensus’ Harmony solution, a shift occurred – a reduction of over 90% in dangerous speeding incidents underscores the program’s effectiveness in promoting safer roads.
