Teacher Wang, Po-Chi accepted an interview with the United Daily News: Scholars: Add more monitors at the intersection of the incident Surveillance is added at the intersection of the accident, the Taoist police rebounds 2021-09-12 03:06 United Daily News / Reporter Chen Junzhi / Taoyuan Report In Taoyuan City, there were 162 car accidents and 49,149 deaths last year. The number of cases was 10% more than the previous year. The Audit Office found that there were no monitors within 20 meters of over 60% of the 100 most accident-prone intersections. However, the grass-roots police rebounded that the deterrence of traffic violations is limited, and scholars suggested that the data on road sections prone to accidents could be analyzed, and then the police could be further arranged to strengthen bans and reduce accidents. The Audit Office also mentioned that 7 of the ten most prone intersections have no monitors installed, and the Tianluodiwang monitor system should be installed first to reduce the doubt about the cause of the accident. The grassroots police believe that the function of the Tianluodi.com system is to prevent crimes and investigations after accidents. It has very limited effects in preventing accidents. If public security needs are sacrificed in order to reduce traffic accidents, they may fall into "headaches and foot pains." Situation. The police stated that they have successively surveyed the road junctions that are prone to accidents, but the addition of monitors depends on the public security needs of the jurisdiction and the traffic accident situation. It is understood that 5 out of the top ten road junctions named will be installed with monitors before the end of the year, and the equipment in another 2 will be moved and erected from other places first. "People may slow down when they see the speed camera pole, but they may not follow suit when they see the monitor." Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, believes that installing monitors at intersections at this stage can only help reduce the time for accidents and clarify the time. Otherwise, it is to amend the law to expand the scope of monitor application, which can be banned in violation of regulations, but there must be a complete mechanism to avoid infringement of human rights and privacy. Wang, Po-Chi also said that setting up warning signs, increasing night lighting equipment, and adjusting intersections can also improve traffic, or perform big data analysis such as violations and bans, accidents, etc., and then arrange for police to strengthen bans, and more frightening resistance. Monitors are passive facilities. "People can take the initiative."
