Shandong Traffic Implements GPS Surveillance Vehicles Violation of Rules and Declines by 86%

"7496 production of office vehicles, 0 accidents, 0 violations", this is a traffic safety answer submitted by the State Grid Shandong Electric Power Corporation during the Mid-Autumn and National Day this year, in the national holiday traffic congestion, accident-prone holiday, such The data is precious.

"The hard-won security situation has benefited from Shandong Power's perfect traffic safety control system and advanced and effective technical supervision measures," said Guo Yuejin, head of the company's safety inspection quality department.

On October 2nd, in the emergency duty room of Shandong Electric Power Group Company, the attendant Han Hong stared at the computer screen in a concentric manner. The screen of the city was accurate to each street and each building, and the vehicle with the license plate number was shown on the screen. The trajectory is clearly visible, and the speed and continuous driving time of each traveling vehicle are refreshed in real time. “Just a little mouse click, the situation of 7,496 vehicles in 17 provinces and cities in the province is under control. Whether it is illegal or illegal use of the car is clearly displayed.” Han Hong told the reporter by pointing at the GPS vehicle monitoring system.

Ten accidents nine times faster. In order to completely eradicate potential safety hazards such as speeding and further regulate vehicle management, in June 2011, the company started to cover the provinces, cities, and counties in accordance with the principles of “grading management, each responsible, effective monitoring, and comprehensive coverage”. GPS vehicle management platform construction. In March 2012, the system was officially completed and put into operation, realizing the real-time monitoring of the production of office vehicles for the headquarters of the Shandong company, 27 subsidiaries, and 7,496 Taiwan companies.

According to relevant laws and regulations, the company’s GPS system sets the vehicle’s speed limit on the expressway to 120 km/h, other road speeds to 80 km/h, and the GPS system sets the continuous driving time to no more than 4 hours. The company’s affiliated units set the vehicle travel area, fixed-point parking area, and abnormal-time driving alarm range according to the requirements for use of vehicles.

In order to ensure the effective implementation of GPS vehicle management, Shandong Electric Power Group Corporation issued the “Measures for the Management of GPS Vehicle Monitoring System”, which specifies the corresponding monitoring data, regulatory agencies and assessment mechanisms. All units set up a GPS vehicle monitoring room and special personnel for monitoring, daily record the vehicle operation log, and regularly report weekly and monthly GPS operation reports. At the same time, the provincial companies regularly notify the illegal vehicle information in the “GPS Vehicle Management” column of the website and handle illegally driven vehicles.

"The implementation of the GPS vehicle monitoring system not only improved the level of traffic safety control, but also further regulated the use of buses, effectively eliminated the occurrence of private use of buses, and provided technical support for the management of enterprises according to law." Hu Jun, who is responsible for checking the traffic safety of the quality department, said.

With the help of the GPS vehicle monitoring system, the company has reconstructed the vehicle management methods, standardized the flow of vehicles, strictly applied for vehicle approvals, and had a good control over the “paid, driving, and retracting vehicles”. It focused on monitoring rest days, holidays, long distances, and non-stops. During working hours, the company will report on the private use of buses that are not in compliance with the actual traffic, and report the assessment on the private use of unlicensed private cars.

Shandong Power Maintenance Company is one of the first units of Shandong Electric Power to popularize and apply the GPS system. Speaking of the regulatory role of the system, the company’s driver Zheng Xuchuan has a deep feeling. During the National Day this year, according to the unified requirements of the provincial companies, all vehicles were sealed and put in storage, and all activities were prohibited. However, on the morning of October 6, Zheng Suchuan suddenly received an order that an equipment failure occurred at the 500 kV Lingxian station and an emergency vehicle repair was needed.

Just five minutes after Zheng Xuchuan’s ignition started, his cell phone rang. “Why did you leave the car during the holiday season? Where are you headed? When will you return?” The phone calls from the provincial company’s emergency duty officer. Emergency personnel on duty asked him to pay attention to safety and not to speed. "I did not expect that the positioning of the GPS system was so accurate and the management was so strict. Fortunately, it was an urgent task at that time. If we went out to do private affairs, we still did not catch up?" Zheng Xuchuan said with a little fear.

Since the GPS system was put into operation, the traffic safety level of Shandong Electric Power Co. has significantly improved. The data show that compared with the same period of 2011, during the period from March to September 2012, the number of vehicle violations by Shandong companies decreased by 86% year-on-year, vehicle failures dropped by 25% year-on-year, and no personal injury or death occurred. At the same time, due to the supervision in place, the fuel consumption of vehicles decreased by 8% year-on-year, and the phenomenon of private use of buses was basically eliminated.
