858-SRI – Camera Detected Offence Program (CDOP) – Evaluation for 2020 and 2021

The objective of the proposed project is to apply the evaluation framework developed by MUARC and documented in Newstead et al. (2020) to estimate the effectiveness of the Queensland CDOP in calendar years 2020 and 2021. Consistent with the developed framework, effectiveness will be measured in terms of the impact of the program on crash frequency, severity and social costs valued using the Willingness to Pay methodology. Results of the project will be used by TMR to report publicly on the crash effects and associated economic savings of the CDOP and to guide future policy development and analysis.

A second objective of the proposed project is to estimate the potential benefits of upgrading the 113 red light-only cameras currently in operation in Queensland under the CDOP to incorporate both red light and speed enforcement. In addition, the analysis is also required to estimate the benefits of combined speed and red light enforcement at all new major signalised intersections constructed in Queensland.
