Department of Transportation in the interest of information exchange. This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the This research examined one of the assumptions underlying the estimated 88-percent crash reduction. At intersections where it is installed, a system that detects violations as they are about to occur and then warns all drivers who are at risk of a consequent collision could reduce the frequency of this type of fatal crash by as much as 88 percent. In the United States, red-light violations result in about 1,200 fatalities or incapacitating injuries each year. This study was conducted to investigate the potential for an ITS countermeasure to reduce the number of collisions that result from red-light violations at signalized intersections. ITS is a worldwide initiative to incorporate communications and information technology in transportation systems. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been shown to have both safety and operational benefits. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety Research and Development (R&D) is focused on improving highway operations and safety by increasing the knowledge and understanding of the effects of intersection design on operational efficiency and safety.
