Speeding is one of the most persistent and dangerous traffic violations in U.S. communities. According to data reported by National Safety Council Injury Facts, speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2022, resulting in 12,151 deaths. Excessive speed reduces a driver’s reaction time, increases the severity of accidents, and also puts pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists at an increased risk for injury or death.
Beyond the human cost, speeding-related crashes strain emergency response systems, burden healthcare facilities, and lead to costly property damage. By prioritizing reduction in the incidents of speeding, law enforcement can create safer roadways and improve overall quality of life for residents. Implementing proactive enforcement strategies, such as radar technology and data-driven policing, ensures that speeding violations are detected and addressed before they lead to tragic consequences.
Kustom Signals Eagle 3 RADAR Equips Officers for the Challenge
Law enforcement’s ability to combat speeding problems begins with locating the drivers who are violating the speed limit. The Eagle 3 RADAR offers law enforcement a dependable and comprehensive front line tool in the campaign to end excessive speeding and the threats involved with drivers operating vehicles at dangerous speeds.
The Eagle 3 provides a host of features including:
- Front and Rear Scan Mode
- Wireless Speed Sensing for Doppler speed verification
- Advanced Fork Test with optional mandatory fork test
- Certification Management with optional lock-out with certification expiration
- Electronic Tuning Fork
- And More
Perhaps one of the most effective tools law enforcement can have to thwart the threat of speed violations is the power of prevention. Kustom Signals has equipped Eagle 3 with Event Log technology to capture data, which can be invaluable in a number of ways for speeding prevention efforts.
Eagle 3 Event Log and the Power of Speeding Data
Many agencies have been using the data they capture from Eagle 3 to help combat speeding in their areas. Police officers can see their highest target speed or lock speed that was captured to assist them with enforcement when out in the field. Eagle 3 has an additional utility that allows users to export information they have. This is helpful for when data is needed for court, or it can be used in various ways to help law enforcement to spot speeding prone areas in the community.
How Eagle 3 Event Log Works
- Incident Logging – The system automatically logs vehicle speeds and captures and time-stamps high-speed violations
- Data Export – Police can retrieve this event log and convert it into a GPS-compatible format, such as CSV or KML
- Google Maps Integration – Police can gain a visual on where speeding is an issue by uploading the data into Google Maps or other mapping systems to plot map points where speeding violations have occurred
- Pattern Identification – This enables the strategic deployment of resources because police can pinpoint specific high-speed prone areas
- Community Awareness – Data can be used to communicate to the public where enforcement is occurring and how concerns are being addressed
By using Eagle 3, departments can improve traffic safety, optimize resource allocation, and enhance data-driven enforcement strategies.
