STSI offers a new method of check of drivers on sobriety. After high-profile accidents with the actor Michael Efremov again talking about the uselessness and ineffectiveness of existing measures. Selective “purging” of drivers does not allow to identify all violators. In the state traffic Inspectorate have hinted that they are willing to improve the practice of roadside checks, but did not disclose details. What to look for know-how police to identify drunk drivers? And what penalties can now introduce to combat drunk driving? Find Out Nikolai Dolgopolov.The traffic police plans to introduce a new method of testing drivers for sobriety. This was told by Deputy head of the Main Department on security of traffic of the Ministry of internal Affairs, major-General Alexander Bykov. According to him, will allow us to test multiple machines from the stream. At the same time, technical details of the process are not disclosed. They say that the new device is like a breathalyzer. There is also information that the cars will be sent in a single lane, and in 20-30 minutes the inspectors will be able to cover continuous inspection of a large number of drivers. So the police in some countries, says a member of the government Commission on road safety Natalia Agra. The certainty of validation will force the drivers to change the algorithm of actions after attending their favorite bar.”If you look at the Western experience, the system works great when the overlap movement, and is massively. First, it is preventive work, because every time when man will think, to raise a glass to him, or still refuse, he will understand that if there is a RAID, he will not escape check and as a result, punishment. Therefore, once established this will be more operational system, people to drink alcohol before driving will be much less,” said Natalia agre.In the first five months of this year traffic police have written more than 240 thousand protocols for drunken driving. Given the scale of the country and the number of the fleet in 53 million cars, according to the analytical Agency “AUTOSTAT”, it looks like a drop in the ocean. But can the police better? At the moment, making one drunk driver takes about two to three hours. Despite the fact that employees work with every motorist individually, and then proposed to cover the entire lane. And besides, it is unclear how to probe the flow — some time ago was actively discussed laser gun. Autoblogger Sergei Lesniewski’s doubts about the effectiveness of the new project of the traffic police:”Talk about a laser instrument which will be able to detect alcohol vapours in the car interior, go for a long time, but it so no one has seen alive. In addition, there are such things as double glazing in automobiles, thermal film or tinted glass, which will obviously distort the readings of such devices. In the winter we fill all winter washer fluid, and when the fumes come through the vents into the cabin, the cabin is also fragrance and alcohol. To fight alcoholism need definitely, but maybe some other ways. For example, some manufacturers want to implement a breathalyzer that will not allow to start the car until you blow into a tube and the machine will not understand that you’re sober.”If you start to block roads everywhere for capitation checks on alcohol, even not worth discussing, what have tube. Experts in artificial intelligence believe that it would be more effective to use the analysis of big data. For example, in Moscow already enough cameras video surveillance, which can detect anomalies in driving style and targeted work with offenders. In the future all is to minimize a human factor in vehicle control systems, says the expert of the international scientific and methodological center for Higher school of Economics, Director of Data4 Kirill Kosolapov:”Already in the tests self-driving cars show a lower accident rate per 1 million kilometers than their live counterparts — men. In the coming years, according to research by the American insurance Institute of road traffic mortality on roads, thanks to the introduction of unmanned vehicles, will be reduced by 30%”.After a fatal accident involving actor Mikhail Yefremov in the state Duma proposed to toughen the punishment for drunk driving, in particular, members want to legalize the confiscation of cars from drunk drivers. And the Ministry of justice plans to impose the largest fine of 50 thousand rubles for refusing a medical examination in the presence of a minor passenger under 16 years of age. While the responsibility for the DUI involves fines of up to 30 thousand rubles and deprivation of the driving license for up to two years.
