Chengdu ambulance will install electronic eye

The Ministry of Public Security recently issued a notice requiring the traffic management departments of public security agencies of various places to take effective measures to ensure that ambulances and other special vehicles that perform emergency tasks are given priority access. On January 15, it was learned from the Chengdu Emergency Command Center that, in order to implement this requirement, the first batch of 300 ambulance driving recorders in Chengdu had been put in place before the Spring Festival. They will all be installed before the Spring Festival and will cover Chengdu 20 76 hospitals in each district (city counties). "Chengdu's emergency care needs ranks third in the country. The city's first-aid command center has exceeded 1.2 million calls each year. The number of emergency visits per day has reached more than 3,000. Let social vehicles consciously avoid ambulances and check life." 1 On the 15th of the month, Dai Bin, director of the Chengdu Emergency Responsive Command Center Office, introduced that the first installation of the driving recorder was like an "electronic eye". It could capture images of malicious vehicles that did not give way through high-definition cameras, and provided image and sound recordings to the traffic police. As a basis for punishment. At present, 300 "electronic eyes" have been distributed to 76 cyber hospitals in Chengdu, including provincial-level units at all levels and district-county hospitals.

For illegal activities such as the illegal use of emergency lanes and special vehicles that are not allowed to carry out emergency tasks, the traffic control department will strictly investigate and punish them, and impose a penalty of 100 yuan to 150 yuan and 3 points. For this rigorous punishment measure, Zeng Zhixiong, the ambulance driver at Chengdu No. 2 Hospital, said: “In the past, although the whistle was buzzing, we often encountered the situation that the previous car did not give way. Now we are restrained by more stringent measures. Over time, It will be able to form a concept in people's hearts and eventually become nature."

Regarding measures that strongly ensure the priority of special vehicles, private car owners all said: “Escape ambulances are for life-saving purposes and will consciously abide by them.” But at the same time, some drivers are worried. Mr. Chen Yuan, who has three years of driving experience, suggested that privilege should be used with caution. “If ambulances use warning lights without taking on the mission, this will disrupt normal traffic order.” Ms. Wang Ting, who lives in Wuhou District, Chengdu, puts forward the question: “In case of traffic congestion, I cannot avoid situations. Do you have to punish?"

In response, the Chengdu Emergency Command Center responded that 120 dedicated ambulances should be used exclusively for special vehicles. Once found to perform non-emergency tasks will be severely punished. The "electronic eye" only shoots the numbers of vehicles that deliberately robbed the road and maliciously blocked roads. Dai Bin stressed that "punishment is not a goal. Ultimately, it is hoped that the public can form a sense of initiative to avoid ambulances."
