As the main trasportation tools, long distance buses have been existing cases of overloading and fatigue driving, etc. Although for the phenomenons the government has declared time and again and also issued lots of punitive measures, many measures have won little effect due to great fluidity of the long distance buses. The application of vehicle mobile DVR might be able to alleviate the situations and reduce occurence of such problems.
As a high-technology product, the emerge of car digital recorder causes widespread concern in the securitu industry. Especially for the recognition of many passenger transportation bus companies ,a great number of places have entered the installation and operation stages and the phone often rings for consultation of installation methods. In order to meet the requirements of customers, now the car digital recorder installation programe installed by an engineering firm for a municipal long distance passenger transportion bus company is listed as following for common progress.
Detailed requirement of the passenger transportation company
The case is the application example of vehicle mobile DVR on the long distance buses of a municipal long distance passenger transportion bus company, which has more than 250 long distance passenger transportation buses currently and recently purchases 25 luxury buses for enriching capacity to meet the growing passenger transportation demands. However, leaders of the company have been puzzeling over some problems:
1. Without permission, some drivers and conductors pick up passengers and collect money from them without tickets or give fake tickets to them during the journey. Only if one or two cases happens on a bus, the company loses several hundred yuan per day and 3-5 thousand yuan per month at least. This situation has not been able to be settled completely and continued to spill across the company.
2. During the long journey, among passengers, drivers and conductors, some disputes and contradictions occur from time to time, especially when some passengers get off the bus with taking some else's baggages or items,etc. These cases lead to that the company is always complained by passengers and the company image is greatly affected. Moreover, without strong prooves, it's hard to know where to start to solve the problems.
3. How to improve the quality of service to make the passengers feel more satisfied to the service offered by company?
4. For the work of appraising and commendation, how to do it better to make the vast workers in company feel more satisfied and convinced inwardly so as to improve company's efficiency fundamentally?
For a casual chance, leaders of the company saw the vehicle mobile DVR and through the knowleadge of its functions they reached consensus within a very shot time: installation of vehicle mobile DVR on each of new purchased 25 luxury buses is as a pilot and required the functions of vehicle mobile DVR as following:
1. The vehicle is 12 meters in total length and with front and rear doors. It's required that the situations of discharging passengers at two doors, the situations of passengers getting on or off the bus within 15 minutes and ticketing situations of conductors should be accurately recorded in real time without blind angle.
2. Set levels of administrative privileges and drivers and conductors can not switch videos or delete video datas.
3. Be able to store video documents over 60 hours.
4. Administrators can check the relevant videos and documents at any time.
5. Important video documents can be copied to other hard disks or CDs with time displaying on copied videos.
6. Be able to record licence plates and driving tracks and aslo with the function to record real-time informations such as speed and steering,etc.
7. Be able to change video modes,such as continuous recording, alarming recording and fixed time recording, etc., accoring to the detailed needs.
8. It's required that videos should be very clear in quality and in their playbacks the characteristics and behaviors of perpetrators could be identified easily and the videos could be as the prooves in courts.
9. Be able to playing various entertainment programs while recording videos and better be inserted with advertisements.
Installation Program
Accoring to the requirements of the bus company, a engineering company recommend vehicle mobile DVR, FT VMR-P4 as the following functions:
01. H.264 main profile Video compression format ;
02. Can work with power supply ranging from DC8V to DC36V;
03. Supports Manual Record, Motion Detect and scheduled Record;
04. Video resolution: D1/HD1/CIF/QCIF selectable for each channel;
framerate: 1-25fps (PAL)
or 1-30fps (NTSC) for each channel;
05. Supports 4 channels "Video & Audio" recording and playback simultaneously ;
06. Supports 4 channels "alarm input" and 2 channel "alarmoutput";
07. Video clips can be saved onto either SD card or HDD; Supports SD card up
to 64GB and Hard Drive up to 2TB;
08. Video file can be backed up in H.264 format or AVI; and can be played with
normal Video player or customized player on PC;
09. With "Power-off delay" function to guarantee the DVR would shut down normally
to keep recorded files safe when an emergency occurs;
10. Can work with 4 cameras, and power 4 cameras directly;
11. Supports GPS, and wireless video transmission (WIFI and 3G optional) .
Operation of the program
After installation of vehicle mobile DVR, this passenger transportation bus company gave penalties to some drivers and conductors whose prohibited behaviors in ticketing were clearly recorded in the videos.Since then, on the buses with installation of vehicle mobile DVRs, incidents of indiscipline were obviously reduced and quality of service was obviously improved; Video section had also clearly recorded that outlaws took away the items of someone eleses for several times,which offered strong prooves toPublic Security Bureaus for solving the cases. A few of hotels and restaurants along the roads advertised on the buses and won great effects; The bus company was planning to install vehicle black boxes on all 250 buses one by one.
The work conditions after installation are listed as following:
1. Video recording: to be set according to the needs of the bus company, when drivers start the buses and open the doors for passengers getting on or off, vehicle black box begins to record video and till passengers finish getting on or off, doors'being closed and bus's moving for 15 minutes, it stops recording videos. The bus company provides that the drivers or conductors should sell tickets to passengers within 15 miniutes after doors'being closed.
2. Operating authority: the bus company exclusively sets administrator who has all operating autorities of vehicle mobile DVR. Drivers and conductors are set as operators and authorized by administrator to do operations. Generally, operators can not stop recording videos or change video settings, etc., but can switch the sound of advertisements or recreational programs and can do playback of video sections and other operations.
3. Advertisement and recreation: for recorded advertisements or recreational programs, operators can edit or play them independently and can set advertisements being played at fixed time. Resolution ratio of programs to be played can reach 704X576 and it's easy to change programs.
4. Playback: the bus company and traffic police departments can get on the bus at any time and ask drivers or conductors to do playback of videos and documents to check whether there exists illegal or prohibited behaviors such as overloading, speeding and collecting money without tickets, etc. Once cases happened, police can require the playback of relevant videos to confirm the suspects.
5. Back-up: The bus company or other administrative departments can do backup of the needed video sections to hard disk, CD or network as evidences of relevant cases.
Summary discourse: with the recognition degree of vehicle mobile dvr increasing, various requirement in different levels will arise accordingly. As constant improvement of its functions, vehicle black box will have increasingly widespread scope of application and growing effect and can be not only used on long distance buses but also on public buses, as well as on trains, boats and ships, ambulances, fire-engines, public security and traffic police vehicles, material supplies trucks, estate cars, shuttle buses for organizations, offices, schools, kindergartens and other units. Vehicle black box(car digital video recorder) will play a very important role in making socity more civilized, our lives safer.
