A dissertation submitted to the the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1995. / This research aims at investigating the image of traffic policing in Transkei. To achieve this goal, questionnaires were distributed to a purposive sample of 600 respondents. Five towns whose people are exposed to traffic policing were targeted, namely: Umtata, Butterworth, Engcobo, Qumbu and Libode. The researcher personally collected the questionnaires. A total of five hundred completed questionnaires were collected. To achieve reliable results, Chi-square, F-test and t-test have been implemented to test for significant differences. The attitudes of the respondents have been measured with regard to two traffic institutions in Transkei, namely: Municipal and Provincial traffic institutions. Traffic order cannot be achieved in Transkei if a sound partnership between the traffic police and the public is lacking.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Zululand, 1993. / This research is based on the penalization of traffic offenders in the magisterial district of Lower Umfolozi- For purposes of collecting data, a structured, pre-coded (content analysis) information schedule has been implemented to capture data on traffic offences and traffic offenders- Unstructured interviews were also implemented to supplement official data collected at the magistrate's court at Empangeni. The chief magistrate, presiding judicial officers, public prosecutors, clerk of the court and traffic officers were interviewed. The voluminous number of traffic violations in South Africa necessitated the enactment of road traffic legislation. Traffic legislation applicable to drivers of motor vehicles include the Road Traffic Ordinance No. 21 of 1966 (which was in force up to 31 May 1990) as well as the Road Traffic Act No. 29 of 1989. The comprehensive function of traffic legislation is to bring about a state of equilibrium in traffic safety and to discourage (deter) by means of penalization further commission of traffic offences. The classification of traffic offences is the actual focal point of the consideration of penalization of traffic offenders. For purposes of this research, traffic offences have been arbitrarily dichotomized into three discrete categories: * driving offences; * vehicle-related offences; and * document offences. Traffic offenders are consequently classified according to the commission of the three categories of traffic offences. The causation of traffic offences can be explained in relation to individual-human and social environmental factors. Correlation analyses of 4771 traffic offenders have been effected in relation to the three identified categories of traffic offences including traffic dynamics. Correlation analyses are based on demographic variables such as race, sex, age and occupation. Data are portrayed in tabular form. Traffic control in the magisterial district of Lower Umfolozi is effected by three traffic organizations: * Natal Provincial Administration (based at Empangeni); * Empangeni municipal traffic department; and * Richards Bay municipal traffic department. The primary aim of traffic law enforcement is to maintain traffic order by reducing traffic offences. Traffic officers perform the following important functions: administrative, executive and supervisory acts of authority. Penalization of traffic offenders follows the violation of traffic laws. The Road Traffic Act (Act 29 of 1989) prescribes penalization of traffic offenders, while the Criminal Procedure Act (Act 51 of 1977) prescribes the range of sentences that must be imposed on (traffic) offenders. Disparities with regard to penalizing traffic offenders were discovered by means of this investigation which brought to light many issues reflected as key findings. It has been established that Whites featured predominantly in driving offence commission, while Blacks featured predominantly in the commission of vehicle-related offences. Asians and Coloureds committed traffic offences to a lesser extent. Most traffic offenders paid an admission of guilt fine. This accounts for the fact that the majority of traffic offenders did not appear in court. Recommendations have been made which are not prescriptive. The ultimate aim of penalization of traffic offenders in the magisterial district of Lower Umfolozi should be aimed at the prevention of traffic offences. / Automobile Association of South Africa; & University of Zululand

Pedestrian traffic monitoring is in its infancy, and the volatility of pedestrian traffic creates a need for guidance on site selection in traffic monitoring programs. A robust knowledge base surrounding pedestrian traffic patterns and the degree to which a single counting station is representative of a larger area are essential in developing an accurate program for estimating pedestrian traffic volumes. This research analysed long term hourly data from automated pedestrian counting devices on four consecutive blocks along an entertainment area corridor to determine the shifts in temporal pedestrian traffic characteristics and volumes along a corridor. Features of the built environment were identified that can aid in estimating pedestrian traffic patterns along a corridor. Results indicate daily pedestrian traffic volumes can vary significantly between consecutive city blocks, limiting the applicability of a single count location to represent a larger area. Additionally, shifts in temporal traffic patterns occur over short distances. / May 2016

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in the branch of Community Health May 2012 / South Africa has seen a 23% rise in the annual numbers of fatalities due to road traffic accidents between 2001 and 2008. Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are estimated to cost 1.5% of the Gross National Product (GNP) in middle-income countries like South Africa. In South Africa, 60% of all acute injuries are treated in a hospital, 75% of those in public facilities placing a significant burden on public hospitals. Generally there are no cost data available from the public hospital information systems as it not routinely collected, yet cost information is necessary for the purpose of accurate reimbursement from entities such as the Road Accident Fund (RAF) which provides medical insurance for all road users in South Africa.

This thesis discusses the implications of the traffic characteristics on interdomain traffic engineering with BGP. We first provide an overview of the interdomain traffic control problem. Then, we present results concerning the characteristics of the interdomain traffic, based on the analysis of real traffic traces gathered from non-transit ASes. We discuss the implications of the topological properties of the traffic on interdomain traffic engineering. Based on this knowledge of the traffic characteristics, we go on to study the complexity of designing interdomain traffic engineering techniques by defining the problem as an optimization problem. We show that designing traffic engineering techniques is possible but that several issues inherent to the current interdomain architecture make the task complex. Finally, we evaluate the current state-of-the-art of interdomain traffic engineering and discuss how we envision its future.
