Definition of data and data collection requirements for monitoring and evaluating TLE: PEPPER Working Paper 24

This Working Paper describes the good practice requirements regarding data and data collection for monitoring and evaluating Traffic Law Enforcement (TLE). The aim is that, eventually, individual police forces/countries put the identified ’good practice’ data into a European TLE monitoring database which would allow police forces/countries to learn from the experiences of others; which would allow the EC to monitor/compare the TLE effort and effectiveness in different Member States; which would allow road safety researchers to assess the effects of TLE on a large scale. Based on the literature and theoretical analysis, the working paper presents good practice for data, data collection and data storage to monitor enforcement activities (Enforcement Performance Indicators), to monitor behavioural effects (Safety Performance Indicators) and to monitor effects in accident and accident severity. It focuses on the three main areas of PEPPER: drink driving, speeding and seat belt use.
