The enforcement index measures traffic enforcement effectiveness levels in the country. It can be based on the objective indicators such as the annual number of random breath tests (per vehicles) and the annual number of speed-violation tickets (per vehicle). Additional subjective indicators that may be added include the technical means and equipments that are available to the traffic police in the country. One study (Cameron Diamantopoulou, 2000), of the few studies in this area, has developed a combination of objective and subjective indicators to measure an enforcement index for the State of Victoria in Australia. This enforcement index cannot be used at this stage due to the lack of data from most countries. [Pg.64]

Perhaps the best example relates to the success of random breath testing in the state of Victoria. The introduction of a law that permitted police to require a breath test of any driver without cause, including via roadblocks that tested large numbers of drivers at random, was revolutionary. Initially it was also ineffective. Research was commissioned to try to understand why it did not woik. The police cooperated with the academics and reassigned enforcement resources according to a plan to scientifically assess the effect of enforcement intensity. The data suggested an operational rule of thumb of 20 hours of enforcement per 100 square kilometres per week to achieve effectiveness. ... [Pg.166]

Alcohol and risk of crash involvement Drivers with high BAG (Blood Alcohol Content) in their blood have more chance of being killed than those with zero BAG (sober drivers). Hakkert Braimaister (2002) provided a review of many studies and reported that the risk in traffic will increase rapidly with BAG. Such results have given the basis for setting BAG limits in many countries (e.g.. 08 g/dl). Thoresen et al. (1992) have shown a positive correlation between the total number of fatalities in Victoria state in Australia with alcohol sales and inverse relationship with random BAG breath testing. [Pg.16]

The most important evidence is probably offered by a recent double-blind, randomized trial which showed a better therapeutic effect of rifaximin in comparison to tetracycline in a cohort of SIBO syndrome patients [42] in particular, rifaximin administration produced a significant reduction of breath hydrogen levels in fasting conditions, peak of hydrogen excretion and cumulative breath hydrogen excretion after an oral dose of 50 g of glucose (fig. 1). Normalization of the test results was evident in 70% of the sample studied. [Pg.106]
