Abstract

As part of an Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) research project involving the derivation of a relationship between vehicle speed and distance travelled along a residential street, it was necessary to establish a suitable data collection method. The method chosen involved the measurement of vehicle speed at designated points using a series of on-road treadle sensors. In order to assess the visual impact of a series of treadle sensors on the behaviour of motorists driving along a residential street, a preliminary test was devised which sought to determine the impact of dummy detectors on maximum vehicle speeds.
