Studied the impacts of different violation rates on safety, freeway performance, and public attitudes, and produced guidelines for future CHP enforcement strategies. (Client: California Highway Patrol) Videotape Surveillance and Enforcement. Demonstrated and evaluated the potential use of videotape in HOV lane surveillance and enforcement. (Clients: California Highway Patrol and CALTRANS) HOV Plan for Sacramento Area. Screened alternative projects, developed cost estimates and prepared a formal plan for implementing of HOV facilities in the Sacramento area. (Client: Sacramento Area Council of Governments) Santa Clara County Commuter Lane Evaluation. Undertook a comprehensive evaluation of Santa Clara County's network of commuter lanes that compiled, summarized and interpreted data on lane usage, timesavings, safety and enforcement.
