Shenzhen city police in Guangdong province are deploying 65 drones in key areas to automatically record driver violations. These aerial devices cover 78 km2 of Futian district.
These "aerial traffic police" issue warnings upon detecting illegally parked vehicles. If the vehicle owner fails to move the vehicle, the drone captures photographic evidence and uploads it to a platform for traffic police review, leading to legal penalties.
Drones patrol during morning rush hour (7h30-9h) and evening rush hour (17h30-19h). They broadcast safety messages like "Maintain a safe distance and do not change lanes arbitrarily" and "Wear a helmet when riding bicycles or electric motorcycles". The drones also capture photographic evidence for other violations beyond illegal parking.
Compared to traditional patrols, this network of 65 aerial devices significantly enhances patrol efficiency. Integrated with ground motorcycle patrols, it establishes a 5-minute response loop, crucial for quickly addressing traffic accidents and restoring road traffic order.
