Drivers who drive a little too close to cyclists on the road could soon be caught on the spot. A new technology adopted by legal departments in Ottawa could help carry out legal distance between bikers and cars on the road.
The device, which is fixed on a bicycle’s handlebars like a bike bell, uses sonar(声呐) technology to measure the distance between the bike and passing cars. The device will make a loud noise if the car is within one meter of the bike, the legal limit in the city of Ottawa, allowing the police rider to radio ahead to his colleagues so that the driver can be pulled over. “The safety of all road users is extremely vital, including cyclists. These cycling changes are directed at encouraging cycling, promoting road safety, and sharing the road,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program.
The authorities started the program last week with a single sonar device. One police officer rode the bike bearing the device around the city on Tuesday to prove the effectiveness(有效性) of the technology. Within a few minutes of riding, the device was beeping, registering that two drivers had violated the one-meter distance requirement. The drivers were pulled over and given brochures informing them that they had broken the safe distance law.
Wilkinson noted that the device is not currently being used to issue fines, which can go up to $110, and that there are no plans to use it for enforcement(执法)in the future. At this point, its main use is to spread awareness about the safe distance law, which was passed last September in an effort to encourage rider safety and reduce deadly crashes.
在路上开车离骑自行车的人有点太近的司机很快就会被当场抓住。渥太华法律部门采用的一项新技术可以帮助骑自行车的人和路上的汽车保持合法距离。
该装置像自行车铃声一样固定在自行车车把上,使用声纳(声呐) 测量自行车和过往汽车之间距离的技术。如果汽车距离自行车不到一米,该设备会发出巨大的噪音,这是渥太华市的法律限制,允许警察骑手提前向同事广播,以便将司机拦下。渥太华道路安全项目协调员Rob Wilkinson表示:“包括骑自行车的人在内,所有道路使用者的安全都至关重要。这些自行车运动的改变旨在鼓励骑自行车、促进道路安全和共享道路。”。
当局上周用一个声纳设备启动了该项目。周二,一名警察骑着装有该装置的自行车在城市里转了一圈,以证明其有效性(有效性) 技术的进步。骑行几分钟后,该设备发出哔哔声,显示两名司机违反了一米距离的要求。司机们被拦下,并收到宣传册,告知他们违反了安全距离法。
威尔金森指出,该设备目前没有被用于罚款,最高可达110美元,也没有计划将其用于执法(执法)未来在这一点上,它的主要用途是传播人们对安全距离法的认识,该法于去年9月通过,旨在鼓励乘客安全,减少致命车祸。
