AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole of Board of Trustees
of
March 24, 2008
SUBJECT: Automated Traffic Law Enforcement
FROM: Lt. Jeff Weber, Police Department
Blaine Wing, Assistant Village Manager 6V
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: N/A
Background:
Public Act 94 -0795, signed on May 22, 2006, allows a governmental agency such as a
municipality or county to establish an automated traffic law enforcement system that produces a
recorded image of a motor vehicle entering an intersection against a red signal indication and is
designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The
installation of Red Light Running (RLR) Camera Systems may be established within certain
counties and municipalities within those counties. All municipalities within DuPage County
meet this criterion.
Enhanced traffic safety is the goal for the Automated Traffic Law Enforcement (ATLE)
program. Per the Illinois Department of Transportation, RLR Camera Systems should only be
installed at intersections where there are documented traffic safety issues involving traffic
crashes and where alternative methods to combat these safety issues have been implemented and
are not feasible due to the configuration of the intersection.
In order to install an ATLE at an intersection, a Justification Report is required before a permit to
install may be issued. The Justification Report includes data such as, but is not limited to:
• Intersection location
• Geometric description of the intersection and land usage

T — +--t-41 /,)n/InnQ 1 11 VWX
• Crash data for (3) years
• Average daily and peak traffic volumes
• Existing traffic control devices
• A letter of concurrence for use of the RLR Cameras from a representative from the
roadway authority having jurisdiction of the intersecting local roadway
• A letter from the chief of the local law enforcement agency certifying that the
intersections proposed for RLR Cameras experience red light violations and crashes
resulting from such acts
All costs for the materials, operation, maintenance, repair and removal of the RLR Cameras are
the responsibility of the permit applicant, the governmental jurisdiction.
The permit applicant shall commence a publicized "kick -off event" and issue periodic press
releases regarding the proposed locations and effectiveness of RLR Cameras within their
jurisdiction. The jurisdiction is also responsible for preparing an evaluation report one year after
the installation and every three years thereafter. This evaluation shall include a statistical analysis
of crash data, recommendations for reducing crashes and red light violations and a summary of
the adjudication process. Finally, the jurisdiction receiving a permit to place RLR cameras at an
intersection is responsible for establishing an adjudication hearing process for those individuals
receiving notice that a vehicle registered to them has had its image captured by a RLR camera.
Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic Citation at the time of the
violation, the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil penalty not exceeding $100, plus an
additional penalty of not more than $100 for failing to pay the original penalty in a timely
manner. A violation for which a civil penalty is imposed is not a violation of a traffic regulation
and may not be recorded on the driving record of the owner of the vehicle. The registered owner
of the vehicle is responsible for the citation, even if another is driving the vehicle during the
violation. (Note: No photograph is taken of the driver during the violation.)
"If a person charged with a traffic violation, as a result of an ATLE, does not pay or successfully
contest the civil penalty resulting from this violation, the Secretary of State shall suspend the
driving privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle for failing to pay the fine or penalty due
to owing as a result of 5 violations of the ATLE"
There are several exemptions of the ATLE violations, including:
• The registration plates of the offending vehicle had been reported stolen prior to the
violation
• The offending vehicle was part of a funeral procession
• The offending vehicle was yielding the right of way to an approaching emergency
vehicle
• The offending vehicle was an emergency vehicle

Proposed Locations:
In August of 2007, the Oak Brook Police Department along with Village Manager Niemeyer,
met with representatives of vendors providing ATLE programs to municipalities in an effort to
reduce traffic crashes at certain intersections. At the conclusion of this meeting, it was decided to
further explore the two most prominent vendors in the Chicagoland area, Red Speed and Red
Flex. The Village then selected two locations for video surveys to be conducted. These
locations were selected because of the recent volume of traffic crashes over the past two years.
The two (2) locations included in the survey were: Butterfield Road and Meyers Road and
Spring Road and 22nd Street.
Red Speed conducted an analysis of vehicles violating the traffic control signals at Butterfield
Road and Meyers Road for the east and west approaches to the intersection. (See Attachment #I
for results.) This intersection was chosen because in 2006 this intersection had a total of 39
reported traffic crashes. Additionally, in 2007 there were 66 reported traffic crashes at this same
intersection. (See Attachment #3.) A diagram of the intersection of Butterfield Road and Meyers
Road is included. (See Attachment #4.)
Red Flex conducted an analysis of vehicles violating the traffic control signals at Spring Road
and 22nd Street for all approaches to the intersection. (See Attachment #2 for results.) This
intersection was chosen because in 2006 this intersection had a total of 62 reported traffic
crashes. Additionally, in 2007 there were 56 reported traffic crashes at this intersection. (See
Attachment #3.) A diagram of the intersection of Spring Road and 22nd street is included. (See
Attachment #5.)
Vendors:
Both Red Speed and Red Flex provided the Oak Brook Police Department with references that
currently are using their product or have entered into a contract to use their product and service.
Reference checks were made with police departments that exclusively use or used either Red
Speed or Red Flex. One department uses both vendors for their ATLE program. In speaking with
the references, a synopsis of their commentary follows:
Red Speed:
Due to the number of complaints, the first reference suspended their program. The community
had a fantastic working relationship with Red Speed's representatives and had only good things
to say about the vendor. Generally there was the belief that the department's enforcement was
too strict, but even after it was made more lenient there were still too many complaints. This
department needed 20 -24 hours per month to review the alleged violations. This resulted in an
estimated 100 Adjudication Hearings per month. This community saw a 27% to 39% reduction
in traffic crashes at the locations where cameras were installed. Finally, it should be noted that
this community explained that obtaining permits at State intersections was very difficult.
Another reference that selected Red Speed, but does not yet have an operational system, chose
Red Speed due to their 30 -day notice to turn off cameras and then 60 -day out clause if the
cameras didn't work out for the municipality.

A third reference chose both vendors and allowed them to compete. At the end of the trial period,
this town believes that the Red Speed solution will provide the best solution and more consistent
revenue. This department spends approximately 10 hours per week reviewing alleged violations
and limits the Adjudication Hearings to between 50 and 60 violators per month.
The last reference check for Red Speed advised that their program went live in November of
2007 and began to issue citations in December. Revenue is not expected until March due to Red
Speed covering the costs mandated by the Illinois Department of Transportation to improve the
intersection where the ATLE program has been implemented. Approximately one (1) hour per
day is taken to review alleged violations and this department has had seven (7) Adjudication
Hearings covering approximately 1,000 alleged violators. (Note: The majority of violations found
were right turn on red violations.)
Red Flex:
The first reference had chosen Red Flex due to the professionalism of the presentation to their
Village Board. Their program is not yet operational, as the town has found the State's permit
process very difficult. This community is expecting to be "live" nine months after they have
obtained the necessary permits.
The second reference advised that Red Flex was chosen because they were able to demonstrate
specifics. This department's representative stated that the program is not operational yet because
the municipality's normal practices and the extensive roadway construction that is currently
occurring at the intersection they selected. (Note: They shared that this should not be viewed as a
negative.)
The third reference advised that Red Flex was chosen due to their good working relationship
with the Illinois Department of Transportation, more control over violations cited, their rejection
process, as well as the projected revenue.
The fourth reference advised that the contract with Red Flex was just signed and they are waiting
for the surveys to be completed. Red Flex was chosen by this municipality because they
impressed the decision makers with the fact that they will complete approximately 95 % of the
work with the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Adjudication Hearings:
The aforementioned Adjudication Hearing is the avenue for an alleged violator to contest the
citation. The municipality is responsible for hosting this hearing. The hearing site will need to
accommodate up to 100 people and function similar to a courtroom. The site will need Internet,
audio visual capabilities and a computer. The municipality will need to hire an Adjudicator to
"run" the hearing process. Each hearing can take up to 10 minutes and there are typically 20 -30
individuals seeking a hearing each month. The Village will also need a police officer at each
hearing to provide security. Finally, the municipality will need to have an attorney serve as a
hearing officer to help determine if the alleged violator is liable for the citation.

Critical Issue:
A critical issue concerning ATLE is the right turn on red violations. Straight through violations
of a red light are simple to observe, whereas a right turn on red violation is difficult to assess and
an officer may need to exercise some discretion when issuing a citation. Violating a right turn on
a red light could include: stopping past the solid line; slowing the vehicle, but not coming to a
complete stop; stopping behind a vehicle that is stopped in the turning lane and neither slowing
or coming to a complete stop. Some vendors appear to cite this violation more than others. One
community applied strict interpretations of the law concerning right turn on red violations and
received an overwhelming amount of complaints. This community eventually suspended the
entire ATLE program. All ATLE vendors permit a review of all citations, but some charge a fee
for citations that are not approved by the municipality and pass that fee on to the municipality.
An agreement would need to be agreed upon between Oak Brook and the vendor to determine
what actually constitutes a violation for right turn on red. Additionally, HB 4562 (See
Attachment #7) has recently been introduced which would prohibit a municipality from using the
ATLE system as a basis for charging a person facing a steady red light with a traffic violation for
turning right regardless of whether or not the turn is otherwise permitted under the code. (This
would be something that staff would need to watch.)
Recommendation:
Currently, there are several municipalities in DuPage County that have contracted for ATLE
systems, including: Naperville, Carol Stream and Lisle. None of these municipalities have
operational systems as of this memorandum, but all are in the process to be up and running
shortly.
At this time, staff feels that direction is needed from the Village Board as to whether or not to
proceed. If the Board does wish to proceed, staff will draft an adjudication hearing ordinance, as
well as recommend an automatic traffic law enforcement vendor. To help the Village Board
decide if they would like to proceed, both vendors will be in attendance on Monday to provide a
brief demonstration of their product/service, explain why they solution would work in Oak
Brook, as well as answer any questions. Additionally, in advance for their presentations, both
vendors have sent along informational packets. (See Attachments 8 and 9.)

There are certain industry assumptions concerning an ATLE program. First, there is an
anticipated decrease in violations by approximately 50% after the first six months followed by a
fairly consistent number of violations. Second, there is a compliance rate of approximately 75%
in making payment on citations issued without going through the adjudication process. Finally,
administrative costs in the first year will be approximately $2,000 per month for a sworn police
officer to review possible violations, $500 per month to staff the Adjudication Hearing and
$1,800 per month for an actual Adjudicator. This expense is called out on the attached
spreadsheets as "Administration" costs. (See Attachment #6.)
Revenue/ Expenditure Analysis:
A Revenue/Expenditure Analysis was completed to estimate the amount of revenue that this
program could generate along with the possible costs of this program. This analysis was
conducted for both Red Speed and Red Flex based upon information that was provided to the
Oak Brook Police Department. The "Fixed Costs" were developed from the amount each vendor
charges for the camera at each intersection per month. "Administrative" costs are based upon an
officer reviewing the violations that are sent to the department, an officer staffing the
Administrative Hearing and the cost of an Adjudicator for overseeing the hearings. In this
analysis, there is a built -in 3 % increase of costs each year.
Estimated Daily Violations is based on the surveys conducting by both vendors. Since Red Flex
had a total of 19 violations, this is the minimum number that was used so that both vendors could
be compared. It is believed that after the six months, violations will be reduced by 50 % because
of driver compliance. The "Estimated Monthly Violations" is based on daily violations
multiplied by 30.
The "Cost per Violation" is provided by each vendor. Again, after the first year, there is an
assumed 3 % cost increase for each subsequent year. The "Total Cost" is calculated by the
"Estimated Monthly Violations" multiplied by the "Cost per Violation" and then adding the
"Fixed Cost ". "Gross Revenue" is calculated by multiplying the "Estimated Monthly Violations"
by $100, which is the maximum violation cost.
Next, there are two assumptions in remainder of this analysis. First, there is a 75% compliance
by the violators in paying the fine and, secondly, a 50% compliance in paying the fine. The "Net
per Month" is then calculated by subtracting the "Cost per Month" from the "Revenue per
Month ". This then gives you the "Breakeven Citations," which is the minimum number of
violations that must be issued in order for the system to pay for cameras and the hearing process.
Finally, "Net" is the "Net per Month" multiplied by 6 for six months and after the first year, the
"Net per Month" is multiplied by 12 for a twelve month cycle.

About Redflex Traffic Systems
Since the mid- 1980s, Redflex has successfully partnered with cities like Chicago, El Paso, and Albuquerque;
several of which currently support the largest digital photo enforcement programs in the USA. As the industry
leader in providing cutting edge digital photo enforcement technology, we have proven our capabilities and
demonstrated our effectiveness in complementing and supplementing existing law enforcement and engineering
activities. Through our extensive experience in partnering with municipal entities, we also understand the
importance of the community's support in moving forward with a red light camera enforcement program and
recognize that poor implementation, untested technologies and limited large -scale experience can reduce public
confidence, reduce public safety and perhaps tarnish the sterling reputation that all involved agencies have
developed over the years.
Redflex currently maintains the industry's most robust infrastructure with over 300 employees, which are solely
dedicated to supporting our photo enforcement programs from coast -to -coast We currently support more
programs than all of the competing vendors combined, and are very proud of our success and more importantly
our lineage and heritage in this industry With over 190 programs across 20 states, we are the largest and
longest - established vendor in the industry.
In addition to being the largest and longest established vendor in the industry, Redflex is also the largest and
longest established red light camera vendor in the State of Illinois. Redflex has supported the inaugural red light
camera program in the State since November of 2003 in the City of Chicago. The program in the City of Chicago
now stands at 140 operational red light cameras, with total of 290 systems slated for installation as part of a
recent contract renewal. Chicago is currently, and will retain Its position of being the largest red light camera
program in the country. Additionally, we have been able to formulate a good working relationship with IDOT by
ensuring that our programs follow the state -wide standards (Safety 2 -07) that were developed as a result of the
Illinois Public Act 094 -0795.
Midwest Regional Head Quarters
Redflex is pleased to announce that our central point for all Illinois and Midwest contracts is located at 329 West
18'h Street, Ste 400 Chicago, IL. 60616. This office functions as central point of contact for all local customer
service facets, maintenance & repair, and violation processing operations. Redflex currently has the capacity to
process in excess of 6,000,000 citations annually. In City after City, we have delivered programs that are inclusive
of all equipment and personnel necessary for longevity and years of success. In 2006, Redflex met processing
timeline service level commitments over 99.6% of the time.
Financial Stability
In an industry which has experienced a high degree of vendors going bankrupt, insolvent and into receivership,
is very important to scrutinize each vendors financial statements. Over the past 12 months, one vendor was
removed from the NASDAQ Global listing due to shrinking market capital. Another recently had two top
executives resign due to financial mishandling. Redflex is the only vendor fully dedicated to the photo
enforcement industry which has a long history of profitability, and does not need any form of outside funding to
support the City. Redflex currently has availability to a $19,000,000 revolving line of credit with Harris Bank.
Additionally, among the current vendors in the industry, the vast majority has no demonstrated history of
profitability, in fact, according to several vendor SEC filings, operating losses have increased quarter -over-
quarter.

Redflex Executes Contract for World's Largest Automated Red -Light Enforcement
Program
27 February 2008
Redflex Traffic Systems Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Redflex Holdings Limited, is pleased to announce
the execution of an automated red -light enforcement contract with the City of Chicago
In August 2007, the City of Chicago issued a competitive tender for the expansion of the City's current Digital
Automated Red Light Enforcement Program (DARLEP). Per the tender's specification, the new project's
scope was for the addition of, but not be limited to, 220 intersections with 2 approach systems per
intersection and for a contract term of five years with the option of two additional one -year penods.
"We could not be more excited about the outcome of this highly competitive tender. We are truly privileged
to be able to build upon our ongoing relationship with the great City of Chicago and support the City's
exemplary commitment to increased public safety During the tender process, it was highlighted that the
thrust behind this competitive tender was to enable the City to conduct a complete assessment of the
various solution advancements and new technologies that have been developed across the industry since
the City commenced its original DARLEP program back in 2003
This tendering process was extremely comprehensive and included reference checks, the assessment of
each participating vendor's records of past performance, and the specialized experience of each
participating firm's personnel. As the largest red -light tender in the world, the City also validated its process
and findings by engaging an objective third party engineering firm, and as a result Redflex was rated the
most highly qualified Respondent.
Maintaining nearly 12,000 signalized intersection approaches and a favourable 2008 US District Court ruling
regarding constitutionality of the City's program, we feel that this contract both symbolizes and solidifies the
ultimate validation of our #1 leadership position in the photo enforcement market" said Karen Finley, CEO
RTSI.
Redflex Traffic Systems Inc has contracts with more than 190 US cities, and is the largest provider of digital
red light and speed enforcement services in North America. With photo speed program!0n 9 states and
photo red light programs across 20 states, Redflex has consistently led the market in contract wins, system
installation rates and market share.

AAA crash study estimates billions lost to needless accidents
The societal costs of traffic accidents
is staggering, according to the Amen -
can Automobile Association — to the
tune of $164 billion per year
The figures were made public earlier
this month as part of a study titled,
Crashes Vs. Congestion. What's the
Cost to Society9
Maryland -based Cambndge Sys-
tematics Inc conducted the study,
which showed that crashes cost
Americans nearly $1,050 per person.
Researchers calculated crash costs
by accounting for property damage,
lost earnings, medical costs, emer-
gency services, legal costs and travel
delays The New York and Los Ange-
les metro areas are hit with $10-18
billion in annual crash costs, accord-
ing to the report- Through the survey,
AAA recommended that lawmakers
pnonhze public safety by pushing
stiffer penalties for unsafe driving
"It's time for motor vehicle crashes to
be viewed as the public health threat
that they are,* AAA president and

New Jersey cop pioneered cameras, endorses Redflex
By Lt. Butch Casaletto
Casaletto is a longtime traffic officer
for Keyport Police, a 19-man depart-
ment along the New Jersey shore 40
miles south of New York City
Casaletto shared his unique photo
enforcement experience with Redflex
Public Square
As New Jersey considers Its first
official red light camera pro-
grams, it makes me reflect on
just how much photo enforce-
ment programs have evolved
since Keyport Police provided
the first unofficial program.
Yet despite the changes in tech-
nology, our old system worked
and would still work today.
"in my opinion,
people that blow
red lights do a lot
more injuries and
damage to vehicles
and people than
your speeders,
typically. If you get
broadsided at a
busy intersection,
you're going to get
hurt."
— Mickey Manry, program
administrator for Redwood City
(Calif) Police Department, about
the city's installation of its
first REDFLEXred® cameras
this spring. (San Mateo Daily News,
'Catching red light woiatois,' Feb 17)
About 15 years ago I purchased
a Kodak DC260 digital camera
for $700 to photograph red light
violators. The camera also had
a voice recorder. I simply made
audio of the violation with the
plate number, date, and time of
the violation.
During winter, it would get dark
at 4.30 p m. and the cameras
were of no use in poor light.
Dunng the day, the violators did
not stand a chance.
1 Would sit and time the lights,
measunng stopping distances at
intersections along the state and
Interstate highways that run
through Keyport. When the light
tumed red, I would photograph
the violator and, if I could pursue
them, I would issue a summons I
wouldn't pursue in heavy traffic or
if safety was a concern.
My conviction rate was nearly
100 percent. Photo enforcement
made prosecutors fobs easy. I
simply supplied the evidence and
showed the photos to violators as
they challenged their tickets in
court. Judges commended me for
my proof of evidence, which
helped make the verdict obvious.
I only had to take the stand in one
case in which the violator argued
about the angle I was parked at
to take photos. In that case, I
would introduce the photo as
evidence and testify that I was an
avid photographer trained by the
FBI and other police agencies.
When a Redflex representative
came to a Monmouth County-
area traffic meeting last year to
Introduce new products, I jumped
at the chance to get Involved. He
researched everything and I was
pleased to hear that a bill passed
to make registered owners re-
sponsible for red light violations
Now the law Is in favor to fight red
light running.
My goal is to get three camera
systems up and running soon. I'm
glad Redflex took the initiative to
work with New Jersey on reduc-
ing red light running tragedies.
You can't put a pnce on loosing a
family member due to an accident
caused by a red light violator.
REDFLEXspeedh tripod debuts in Arizona
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz —
The latest and most versatile
photo speed - enforcement tech-

to give officers greater flexibility
in effectively enforcing speed

Evaluating Red Light
Running Programs in o ,;
Lech if ansfre; !;hMrn ,,,.
Objective
As communities across the United States attempt to address red light
running (RLR), a number of them have implemented RLR camera -en-
forcement programs. Since 2004, three Iowa communities— Davenport,
Council Bluffs, and Clive —have implemented RLR camera - enforcement
programs. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness
of RLR cameras in these three Iowa communities A reduction in crashes
was evaluated for Council Bluffs and Davenport, and a reduction in the
number of RLR violations was evaluated for Clive
Problem Statement
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates that red light
running causes more than 100,000 crashes and 1,000 fatalities annually,
and results in an estimated economic loss of over $14 billion per year in
the United States (FHWA 2006) Retting et al. (1995) indicated that occu-
pant injuries occurred in 45% of RLR crashes as compared to other urban
crashes and accounted for 169/6-20% of total crashes at urban signalized
intersections. Red light running can be particularly dangerous because
many RLR crashes are right -angle collisions
Research Description
The number of RLR crashes in Iowa was determined by selecting crashes
that occurred at signalized intersections from 2001 to 2006. RLR crashes
were defined as crashes where an officer indicated "ran traffic signal"
as the mayor cause. An average of 8,162 total crashes and 147 fatal- and
major -injury crashes occur at signalized intersections in Iowa every year
(2001- 2006), and an average of 1,682 RLR crashes occur per year This in-
cludes an average of 51 fatal- and mayor -injury crashes per year at signal-
ized intersections in Iowa due to red light running. Of signalized mtersec-
tion crashes, RLR crashes account for 21% of total and 35% of fatal- and
mayor -injury crashes

Effectiveness of RLR camera systems
in Iowa
Red light running poses a significant safety issue for com-
munities Communities rarely have the resources to place
additional law enforcement in the field to combat the prob-
lem and they are increasingly using automated RLR camera -
enforcement systems at signalized intersections. The state
of Iowa, as of November 2007, has no state - mandated laws
regarding the use of automated enforcement and no recom-
mended scheduled traffic fine for violations captured by
photography. Each community that installed an automated -
enforcement system in Iowa enacted local, municipal ordi-
nances, which were allowed by the Code of Iowa but could
not supersede established traffic laws The effectiveness of
the RLR camera systems was evaluated for each community
Davenport
The city of Davenport installed RLR cameras between
August and October 2004 at the following intersection ap-
proaches.
• Brady Street, northbound approach, at Kimberly Road
• Brady Street, eastbound approach, at Kimberly Road
• Brady Street, westbound approach, at Kimberly Road

Type of Crash
Change in crashes for Davenport after installation of RLR cameras
11
In June 2006, one set of cameras was moved from 4th Street
and Division Street to Lincoln Avenue and Locust Street,
so neither intersection was included in the analysis. Five
control locations were selected in Davenport for use in the
statistical analysis The before analysis period included 12
quarters of crash data and the after analysis period consisted
of 8 quarters of crash data. A Bayesian statistical analysis
was used to evaluate the reduction in crashes after installa-
tion of the RLR cameras.
The expected number of total crashes decreased by 20%
from the before to after period for intersections with camera
enforcement, while total crashes increased by almost 7% at
control intersections. RLR - related crashes were also evalu-
ated. RLR crashes were defined as any crash, except year-
end crashes, where either an officer or witness to the crash
indicated that at least one driver had run a red light. The
expected number of RLR crashes decreased by 40% after
installation of cameras at intersections with camera- enforced
approaches, while the expected number of RLR- related
crashes increased by almost 20% at control intersections
The change in rear -end crashes that was related to red
light running was also evaluated. The expected number of
rear -end crashes changed very little from the before to after
period for intersections with camera - enforced approaches,
while the expected number of rear end crashes increased by
around 33% for the control intersections.

Council Bluffs
The city of Council Bluffs installed RLR cameras at the
following seven approaches at five intersections in August
2005
• Willow Way, southbound approach, at 7th Street
• Kanesville Blvd., westbound approach, at 8th Street
• Kanesville Blvd., eastbound approach, at 8th Street
• Broadway, westbound approach, at 16th Street
• Broadway, eastbound approach, at 16th Street
• Broadway, westbound approach, at 21st Street
• Broadway, eastbound approach, at 35th Street
Only one year of crash data was available to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Council Bluffs RLR program in reducing
crashes Consequently, only a simple before and after crash
comparison was conducted. Four control intersections were
used to reflect crash trends that were independent of the
cameras Changes in crashes from the before to after period
were evaluated by comparing changes in crashes per quarter
The number of crashes per quarter was calculated for a
before period consisting of 12 quarters and an after period
consisting of 4 quarters.
Total crashes at intersections with camera enforcement
decreased an average of 44% after the RLR cameras were
installed. Total crashes also decreased at control intersec-
tions but only by 12 percent. A more dramatic result was
found when only RLR- related crashes were evaluated. RLR
crashes at camera - enforced intersections decreased an aver-
age of 90%, while no overall change was noted at the control
intersections. Rear -end crashes, which were determined to
be a result of red light running, were also compared RLR-
related rear -end crashes decreased by 40% at intersections
with camera - enforced approaches but increased by 29% at
control intersections

Clive
RLR cameras were installed at the following six ap-
proaches at four intersections in Clive in July 2005
• 100th Street, northbound approach, at Hickman Road
• Hickman Road, eastbound approach, at 128th Street
• 128th Street, northbound approach, at Hickman Road
• Hickman Road, eastbound approach, at 142nd Street
• Hickman Road, eastbound approach, at 156th Street
• 156th Street, northbound approach at Hickman Road
The ideal way to evaluate the effectiveness of RLR cam-
eras is to evaluate the reduction in crashes. However,
because the cameras in Clive weren't installed until June
2006, there was not sufficient data to conduct a crash
analysis. As a result, the only way to evaluate the effec-
tiveness of Clive's automated RLR enforcement system
was to evaluate the reduction in RLR violations that
occurred. A cross - sectional analysis was conducted that
compared violations at intersections with RLR cameras
to violations at control intersections where no cameras
were present.
Control intersections were selected so that they were
similar to the RLR camera - enforced intersections. Viola-
tion data for the camera - enforced approaches were ob-
tained from the city of Clive, and violations for control
intersection approaches were videotaped in the field and
manually reduced.
A cross - sectional analysis was conducted using a gener-
alized linear model to evaluate the differences between
violations at approaches with RLR cameras and at the
control intersections. The model indicated that intersec-
tion approaches without cameras had 25 times more
RLR violations than intersection approaches with RLR
cameras.

The amount of time after the red indication had been
given to indicate that vehicles were running the red
light was also evaluated. It might be expected that a
certain number of drivers entered the intersection just
at the beginning of the red phase. However, 22% of left -
turning vehicles, and more than 10% of vehicles that
were traveling straight through the intersections, ran
the red light two or more seconds into the red
Key Findings
Results of the research indicate that RLR cameras were
very successful in reducing crashes related to red light
running in the two Iowa communities studied. In Dav-
enport, a 40% reduction in RLR crashes was found. In
Council Bluffs, a 90% reduction was found.
Total crashes also decreased at intersections with RLR
camera enforcement. Reductions in total crashes of
20% and 44% were found in Davenport and Council
Bluffs, respectively Additionally, while there has been
some concern at the national level that use of RLRcam-
eras increase rear -end crashes, the present research did
not find an increase in rear -end crashes
The reduction in RLR violations was evaluated for a
third Iowa community. However, a crash analysis could
not be conducted since there was less than one year of
crash data The number of RLR violations for intersec-
tions with no RLR cameras was compared against RLR
violations at camera - enforced intersections Results of a
statistical analysis indicate that on average, RLR viola-
tions were 25 times higher in locations without cameras
than with cameras.

Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., the industry leader in providing various vehicle monitoring and
enforcement services forgovernment, police, and traffic departments across the US. Redflex's experience
in the photo enforcement industry is reflected in the design of its photo enforcement systems, allowing
maximum flexibility to suit the application and the customer's needs. A major component of the system's
flexibility is the use of multiple integrated and synchronized high resolution digital cameras.
Single Camera
Pixel Utilization
(Field of Vision in Green)
Our patented approach uses a
complement of full motion video
cameras and multiple high resolution
digital still- cameras. Using multiple
high resolution digital still- cameras,
Redflex can leverage the pixel
coverage of which the system
is photo enforcing, resulting in
"Dynamic Pixel Utilization ".
Dynamic Pixel I
Utilization
Multiple Camera
Pixel Utilization
(Multiple Fields of Vision)
Dynamic Pixel Utilization means that
more pixels are used in areas where
they are more effective, creating
higher quality and more legible
digital still -photo evidence than
compared to single camera based
photo enforcement systems.
With respect to specific areas of
interest, such as the license plate of
an offending vehicle and /or an image
of the driver of that offending vehicle,
Dynamic Pixel Utilization can result in
up to 500% greater pixel coverage
on the area of interest compared to
single camera based systems. This
is very important in ensuring that the
area of interest, such as a license plate
or driver's face, is clear in all types of
traffic and weather conditions.

RedSpeed International secured UK Home Office type approval for its range of
equipment in April 2003. To date, no other manufacturer has been able to obtain
UK type approval for the range of equipment and facilities RedSpeed International
offers, although many have tried.
The UK Home Office testing procedures are very stringent and thorough, requiring
substantial time to complete. RedSpeed International's equipment was under test
by both test houses and independent testers appointed by the UK Home Office for
over five years before being granted type approval. Since then, RedSpeed
International has been continuously upgrading and modifying the equipment, under
the approval of the UK Home Office, until it is recognized world wide as one of the
most secure and superior systems on the market.
4. Surveillance & Wi -Fi Solutions

S. Flexible Pricing & Unmatched Local Support
RedSpeed Illinois is committed to insuring the highest level of service
accompanied by competitive pricing.
Profit Sharing Model
• Some states (Arizona and California for example) allow for compensation based on
the amount of PAID CITATIONS per month.
• Vendors collect a percentage (ranging from 35% to 75% of monthly program
revenue.
• Typically, the vendor provides a turn -key operation, from installation of cameras to
citation issuance and payment processing.
• Since the vendor's profits are tied directly to the amount of revenue generated by the
program, it is becoming less common
PROFIT SHARING IS ILLEGAL UNDER ILLINOIS LA
Fixed Monthly Camera Fee + "Transaction Fee" Model
• The vendor is compensated by a fixed monthly camera fee ranging from $3,000.00
to $5,000.00 per camera.
• In addition to camera fees, vendors charge a processing or transaction fee every
time they issue a citation. The transaction fee varies from $4.80 to $7.90 per ticket
and is tied directly to the amount of tickets issued.
• A vendor's profits are "front- loaded" and tied directly to the number of cameras
deployed in a municipality (i.e. the more cameras deployed the higher the monthly
profit) .
• The vendor's incentive is to install the maximum number of cameras and process
the minimum number of citations needed to cover the monthly invoice (each
additional citation processed reduces the monthly profit margin).
W_
• Profits are "back- loaded" and in full compliance with the HB 4835.
The incentive is to ensure optimal operational efficiency, as each additional step
involved in issuing a violation is a cost.
Compensation is not tied to the amount of cameras sold, as each installed
camera must be financially sound.
• A nominal monthly camera maintenance fee of $1,499.00 per camera.
Monthly processing expenses are covered by charging for each step needed in
issuing and servicing a citation.
• Processing fees are charged ONLY if the services are performed and include:
Digital capture, download and manual review
(excluding authorized emergency vehicles, funeral processions or
officer controlled intersections)
S.O.S. request (including SOS, USPS or LexisNexis)
Printing & Mailing (including all letters and correspondence)
Payment Processing jonline, call center or lock -box)
Call Center & Hearing Scheduling (only if the call received, charged once
regardless of the number of calls)
Evidence Archival (including all paid, dismissed or collections citations)

RedSpeed Illinois works directly with the
ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TR4NSPORTAfiION (IDOT)
to complete the Permitting Process
In the spring of 2007, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) initiated a permit application process
for municipalities looking to implement a Red Light Running (RLR) Enforcement Program.
• IDOT requires the municipality to apply for authorization to install and operate a RLR Camera System
at signalized intersections that include State marked and unmarked State routes.
• IDOT requires the municipality to provide a justification report.
• Once justification has been approved, IDOT requires submittal requirements for approved RLR
Camera System installations.
• The Project Management Team from RedSpeed Illinois will take the burden and responsibility of
gathering all information and will formally submit the application on your behalf. As stated above, the
process is prepared in two stages:
o RLR Camera System Justification
o Submittal Requirements for Approved RLR Camera System Installation
• RedSpeed Illinois provides the following service detailed in the following tables.
