Video Enforcement for Road Authorities
Video Enforcement for Road Authorities (VERA) was a European research project on digital image enforcement systems. The main results were the definition of common functionalities for all road enforcement applications, and possible solutions for legal, institutional and organisational problems. VERA-2, the successor-programme, complemented these recommendations for cross-border enforcement and organisational aspects.
Rapp Trans supported Swiss Customs participation in both phases of the project providing key contributions related to the legal impact and the Swiss case study on cross-border enforcement.

European Cross-Border Enforcement
Common Application of Traffic Violations Enforcement (CAPTIVE) was a European research study on cross-border enforcement of non-financial penalties, such as withdrawal of driver's licence or application of penalty points. It identified the causes of non-delivery of cross-border road traffic penalties. Based on the CAPTIVE report, the European Commission launched a public consultation in 2007 entitled "Respecting the Rules: Better Road Safety Enforcement in the European Union". The objectives are to enable and simplify the cross-border enforcement of traffic violations.
Rapp Trans led the work on the state-of-the-art of cross-border enforcement and the analysis of current practices and was involved in all other work.

Swiss Standard for Digital Enforcement
In the beginning of the decade, despite the operational advantages of digital cameras for traffic enforcement, the take up rate of such systems in Switzerland was relatively low. Therefore, the Swiss Association of Road and Traffic Experts (VSS), in cooperation with the Federal Roads Office, mandated Rapp Trans to conduct a research study in order to address hurdles for deployment and to create a proposal for a national standard for the use of digital cameras for automatic enforcement.
Rapp Trans worked out an overview of implementation possibilities and existing problem areas with digital pictures, analysed the existing Swiss legislation and developed a proposal for the Swiss standard for automatic enforcement systems with digital pictures. This proposal has been adopted as the Swiss standard for automated traffic enforcement with digital cameras (SN 671 971).
