Automatic traffic safety control (ATK) is an automatic speed monitoring system with cameras where speed is measured using radar technology.Traffic safety cameras are used on road stretches and places where the risk of accidents is high and where, before the cameras were set up, speed was high. The ATK system is managed jointly by the Swedish Transport Administration and the Swedish Police. In Sweden, it is always the driver of the vehicle who is prosecuted for speeding violations. The overall goal is to lower average speeds on our most accident-prone roads and, thereby, reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries. The Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Police and the Swedish Prosecution Authority have a joint body for the traffic safety camera system. This is the ATK Council. The council’s function is to manage the ATK system as effi-ciently as possible and to advise each authority concerned.Issues dealt with in the ATK Council are those relating to the ATK system in areas where it is important for the authorities concerned to act jointly.
