Analysis of the impacts of average speed enforcement on driving speed of university members in Türkiye
zIn highly motorised countries around the world, average speed enforcement is a new and advanced technological approach that is growing in popularity.This paper investigates how a mobile average speed system affects speed on routes within the boundaries of a university campus.Firstly, the necessary system software and infrastructure were completed, and in the following 4-month period, before and after speed studies of the drivers were carried out.The first hidden (before) and the second announced (after) average speeds of drivers were measured on 11 different routes.The average speeds recorded in the before period were compared with the average speeds recorded in the after period.In this practice within the borders of the campus, only announcements and warnings were made to the drivers and no penalties were imposed.As a result, standard deviations decreased and average speeds decreased by 2.15 km/h (4.50 per cent), 1.81 km/h (5.10 per cent) and 4.50 km/h (8.35 per cent) on routes with 20, 30 and 50 km/h speed limits.85% percentage speeds decreased by 4 km/h (6.50%), 3 km/h (6.70%), 3 km/h (4.70%).The rate of speed violations by drivers decreased from 69.38 per cent in the first period to 63.01 per cent in the second period.The proportion of vehicles obeying speed limits increased from 30.62 per cent in the first period to 36.99 per cent in the second period.Dnya apnda son derece yksek seviyede motorize olmu lkelerde, ortalama hz uygulamas poplerlii artan, yeni ve gelimi bir teknolojik yaklamdr.Bu makale, bir niversite kamps snrlar iindeki gzergahlarda, mobil ortalama hz sisteminin hz nasl etkilediini incelemektedir.lk olarak gerekli sistem yazlm ve altyaps tamamlanm, daha sonraki 4 aylk srete, srclerin nce ve sonra hz ettleri yaplmtr.Srclerin 1.'si gizli (nce), 2.'si ise ilan edilmi (sonra) ortalama hz deerleri 11 farkl gzerghta yaplmtr.nce dneminde kaydedilen ortalama hzlar, sonra dneminde kaydedilen ortalama hzlarla kyaslanmtr.Kamps snrlar ierisindeki bu uygulamada, srclere yalnzca duyurular ve uyarlar yaplm, herhangi bir ceza uygulanma yaplmamtr.Sonu olarak, standart sapmalar dm, ortalama hzlar 20, 30 ve 50 km/s hz limitli gzerghlarda 2.15 km/s (%4.50), 1.81 km/s (%5.10) ve 4.50 km/s (%8.35) azalmtr.85 yzdeli hzlar ise 4 km/s (%6.50), 3 km/s (%6.70), 3 km/s (%4.70) azalmtr.Srclerin hz ihlali oran nce dneminde %69.38 iken, sonra dneminde %63.01' e dmtr.Hz limitlerine uyan aralarn oran ise nce dneminde
