Investigating the Role of Speed Control Cameras in Preventing Traffic Violations and Reducing Road Accidents (Case Study: Zanjan-Khormadre Transit Axis and Vice Versa

Today, transportation is a category that every person has a direct relationship with, and along with the growth and development of cities, the need for public services and facilities has also increased. On the other hand, due to the increase in population, the road transport network, as well as vehicles, which have caused serious transportation problems such as accidents, traffic and traffic violations, it is necessary for the government's investment policy to prioritize the use of solutions in order to reduce accidents and traffic violations. In this research, an attempt was made to investigate one of the speed management methods to reduce traffic violations and accidents in the main transit axes. In this research, the Zanjan-Khormadre transit axis and vice versa was investigated as the focus of the study for the effect of speed control cameras on the prevention of traffic violations and the reduction of road accidents, and SPSS software was used to analyze the data. To investigate the relationship between violations, accidents and speed control cameras, the significance of Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression was evaluated. Speed is in the mentioned axis, and also 73% of the reason for the reduction of traffic violations is the increase of speed control cameras, on the other hand, 88% of the number of accidents related to speed depends on the number of violations caused by speed. As a result, the existence of speed control cameras can be effective as one of the most important parts of speed management in all used programs.
