Solving traffic problems
Good afternoon! Let's talk about compliance with traffic rules and their solutions.
I’ll immediately notice that I do not advertise the finished product: I myself can’t realize this, since this requires a large amount of finance, specialists, and contacts in the state. structures, etc. But I’m ready to give the idea to any person or company who can realize this.
If you travel 200-300 kilometers from the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, you can witness that traffic rules are violated by every third driver. For a long time I lived and studied in the city of Almaty (Kazakhstan), in connection with which, violation of traffic rules is very striking.
In Kazakhstan, everything is very strict with traffic rules: for example, if in the Russian Federation a fine for violating the speed limit is 300 rubles. (250 at a discount + 50 commission when paying by phone), then in Kazakhstan you will pay 3636 rubles. (20,000 tenge at the rate of 5.5 tenge to ruble) for exceeding speed by 20 km \ h. Attention: I take data on fines from memory a year ago.
About parking on the site of a disabled person and a fine of 18,181 rubles (!) (Eighteen thousand rubles), etc. I probably won’t talk, but I think 2 things become clear:
Since in Russia fines for complying with traffic rules are minimal, most people violate traffic rules. I perfectly understand the position that, for example, in Moscow, if you don’t break it, you won’t come anywhere at all, but I would like to talk not about Moscow, but about the cities that are behind it - traffic violations are just at every step.
For example:
- an abrupt stop in front of a going car (both feet to the floor on the brake), because the driver simply noticed a parking place. However, he did not give any warning signals in advance;
- almost completely ignoring the use of turn signals (game - “guess the maneuver”);
- complete inability to keep the lane when driving on turns and in a circle;
- misunderstanding who should pass whom in a circle;
- misunderstanding how to use the turn signals on the circle;
- Driving in the style of "my car is more expensive - I have priority in driving";
- every second passing through red (I don’t say about passing through yellow - this is the norm);
- ignoring signs prohibiting movement in a certain lane (for example, the lane is only to the left - everyone goes straight);
- it’s normal, for example, in our city to go immediately against one-way traffic under a brick and at the same time honk to let him through;
- I don’t think we will talk about sticking up numbers with snow or paper at the parking lots (parking in cities 200-400 km from St. Petersburg and Moscow is 20 rubles per hour, and not 60-300 rubles, as in Moscow). Moreover, they often glue cars worth 5-6 million rubles. (with a monthly subscription of 3000 rubles);
- He witnessed a traffic jam (300 meters traffic jam) on the sidewalk (the sidewalk was behind iron fences), scaring people with wheelchairs, and driving on a red minibus with a full load right in front of the patrol car. The patrol car pretended that nothing exceptional had happened.
I can go on forever. But back to the idea.
In connection with these observations, the idea arose of how to improve the situation with roads in the country.
It is possible to send a message about traffic violations.
But to do this is quite difficult, since it is necessary:
This will take a lot of time, and if you want to engage in video fixation all the time, then puts a bullet in this issue, because you will have to spend hours of time each time only to fill out a request.
How can I solve the issue quickly and easily: use a ready-made tool for this.
- with state the structures conclude a contract (so that all this is in accordance with the law)
- a website is created on which each motorist can register by entering their personal data (preferably with a passport confirmation, etc.) + rights + vehicle number;
- a special, pre-created by the manufacturer, certified camera in the car is bought (based on ordinary cameras, but with modifications) and installed in the car;
- in order not to be distracted from the traffic situation, a separate button for sending data to the dashboard or to the steering wheel, if the button is wireless, is also installed;
- as soon as the driver noticed a traffic violation, he presses the button and the device cuts out the last minute of the video recording, converts it to the desired format and sends the driver’s id to the video fix server with the driver id.
- a camera is taken that can shoot video;
- finalized before shooting in high resolution, so that the numbers of the violator were visible;
- support for a SIM card or Wi-Fi is being finalized (a SIM card is needed so that you can send video immediately when you press a button, Wi-Fi in order for the video to be sent, for example, when the car drives up to the house: the camera catches Wi-Fi and sends the accumulated video with data when connected to the Internet);
- special software that allows you to find out the camera id and associate it with the driver data, as well as update the camera software;
- a site where you can register by entering your data and camera id and receive information about the application (how many accidents are recorded, how much money is received, etc.);
- those. support and video processing service (many will say that the video will be very much and it’s impossible to process everything, but I will remind you that the President of Tatarstan stated: “Statistics show that because of this we lose 3 billion rubles only in 2018 ...” - on the abolition of discounts on fines, i.e., such money is spinning in this area that you can put in the video processing 500-5000 people who will process the video of violations in manual mode or develop an intelligent system for recognizing violations - there will be enough money!).
Since not everyone will spend their money on a device to help society, the best solution would be to pay rewards to the driver who sent the video, for example, in the amount of 5-20% of the penalty of the violation that he recorded. Even if this allows you to earn 2-3 thousand rubles a month, it will already be payment for gasoline and motivation for drivers to fix traffic violations.
- violators will always remember that at any moment their violation can be captured by any car;
- identifying the person who sent the video will be difficult. It is clear that all bases, of course, as usual, will be sold by company employees, but if there are 100 to 200 thousand drivers in the bases, it will be difficult to identify a specific person. And since processing the received video usually takes 1-2 weeks, it becomes even more difficult.
- I understand perfectly that now fans of fast driving and defenders of violations will run into the comment under various pretexts, but I see an example of the fact that in Kazakhstan (I heard that in other countries as well) tight control allows us to achieve correct driving and reduce mortality and injuries to random people;
- for me, the safety of me and my family is more important than the opinion of people who believe that I'm wrong;
- In August, about two thousand people died on Russian roads in road accidents , and more than 21.2 thousand received various injuries. Thus, as expected by Gazeta.Ru, the last month of summer has so far become the most “emergency” since the beginning of this year. In just eight months, almost 11 thousand people died in accidents, and almost 132 thousand were injured.
Pay attention to a simple fact: in the 8 months of 2018, only 11 (eleven) thousand people died in road accidents in the Russian Federation. A simple example: 15 thousand people died in Afghanistan in 10 (!) Years . Those. fewer people die in a war in almost ten years than in an accident in 1 year - this is the question of the moral side.
Those. the system is interesting and beneficial to everyone except the violators.
- we get a decrease in the number of accidents on the roads, which means safety for ourselves and our loved ones;
- the state receives additional money to the budget;
- participants in the system earn money for the same gasoline;
- A company that implements this scheme will also make a ton of money.
The idea is free - I give it to everyone who can implement it.

Actually, where did the idea begin?
If you travel 200-300 kilometers from the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, you can witness that traffic rules are violated by every third driver. For a long time I lived and studied in the city of Almaty (Kazakhstan), in connection with which, violation of traffic rules is very striking.

About parking on the site of a disabled person and a fine of 18,181 rubles (!) (Eighteen thousand rubles), etc. I probably won’t talk, but I think 2 things become clear:
- All drivers in major cities of Kazakhstan comply with traffic rules as much as possible;
- Corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan is flourishing (simply because it’s more profitable to pay 1000 rubles per person than officially 3636). Although, this does not work with cameras.
Since in Russia fines for complying with traffic rules are minimal, most people violate traffic rules. I perfectly understand the position that, for example, in Moscow, if you don’t break it, you won’t come anywhere at all, but I would like to talk not about Moscow, but about the cities that are behind it - traffic violations are just at every step.

Idea
In connection with these observations, the idea arose of how to improve the situation with roads in the country.
It is possible to send a message about traffic violations.
But to do this is quite difficult, since it is necessary:
- Pull out the camera and take a picture on the phone, which when driving a vehicle is at least inconvenient, and can also lead to another accident;
- Remove the USB flash drive from the video-capture camera on the car, insert it into the computer, find the desired video, edit it so as not to send 5 minutes of recording - compress the video file;
- Make a message about an accident by attaching a video or snapshot.
This will take a lot of time, and if you want to engage in video fixation all the time, then puts a bullet in this issue, because you will have to spend hours of time each time only to fill out a request.
How can I solve the issue quickly and easily: use a ready-made tool for this.
Tool
- with state the structures conclude a contract (so that all this is in accordance with the law)
- a website is created on which each motorist can register by entering their personal data (preferably with a passport confirmation, etc.) + rights + vehicle number;

- as soon as the driver noticed a traffic violation, he presses the button and the device cuts out the last minute of the video recording, converts it to the desired format and sends the driver’s id to the video fix server with the driver id.
Technical implementation
- a camera is taken that can shoot video;
- finalized before shooting in high resolution, so that the numbers of the violator were visible;

Bonuses to the driver
Since not everyone will spend their money on a device to help society, the best solution would be to pay rewards to the driver who sent the video, for example, in the amount of 5-20% of the penalty of the violation that he recorded. Even if this allows you to earn 2-3 thousand rubles a month, it will already be payment for gasoline and motivation for drivers to fix traffic violations.
Implementation advantages
- violators will always remember that at any moment their violation can be captured by any car;
- identifying the person who sent the video will be difficult.

The moral side of the issue
