I-SafeLight System
I-SafeLight Program esebenzisa amakhamera abuhlaza obomvu aqala eDallas ngo-11 Dec 2006. Amakhamera alubomvu abukela kakhulu izingozi zomgwaqo kanye nezithombe ezisebenzisa izibani ezibomvu. Abanikazi basuke belandelwa phansi ngezinombolo zephayisensi yelayisense futhi bahlawuliswe ngeposi.
Ngezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu zokuqala, iDolobha laseDallas lanikezele izixwayiso ezigijimi ezibomvu ezibanjwe emakhamera.
Kuze kube nemingcele engamashumi ayisithupha eDallas izobe ihlolwe ngamakhamera.
Indlela uhlelo lokuphepha olusebenza ngayo
Uhlelo luzosebenza kanje:
- Imishini yokuthola i-Radar ilondoloza izimoto. Uma isibonakaliso siphendukile, isistimu yekhamera ivuliwe yinoma imuphi imoto ngokusebenza ngokungemthetho ngokukhanya okubomvu.
- Izithombe ezimbili zithathwa ngamakhamera. Isithombe sokuqala sikhombisa ukuthi ngaphambili imoto engakafiki emgwaqeni ngenkathi ukukhanya sekuvele kuvuliwe. Isithombe sesibili sibonisa imoto eqhubekayo phakathi komgwaqo futhi ihlanganisa ipuleti lelayisense.
- Ikhamera ibhala usuku, isikhathi sosuku nesikhathi siphelile kusukela ekuqaleni kwesignali ebomvu.
- Labo abafaka umzila ngaphambi kokuba ukukhanya kuphenduke obomvu, kodwa ngubani, nganoma yisiphi isizathu, abanjwe emgwaqweni lapho ukukhanya kuguquka, ungabangeli ikhamera futhi ngeke uthole umbhalo.
Ingemuva
Amadolobha amaningana aseTexas asevele asetha izinhlelo ezibomvu zekhamera.
U-Denton uthi ukwehla kwezingozi zomgwaqo kulabo abomvu obomvu ngekhamera efakiwe.
Izinzuzo
I-SafeLight Program izovimbela izingozi, ukulimala nokufa. E-United States, ukushayisana kwezimoto ezingu-218,000 kwenzeka ngenxa yabantu abahamba ngezibani ezibomvu. Abantu abangaba ngu-900 babulawa minyaka yonke.
Amakhamera okukhanya okubomvu azenzekelayo, ngakho-ke azonciphisa abasebenzi basebenzisa ukubhala izingcaphuno zomgwaqo.
Imali engenayo la makhamera izongenisa ibalulekile. Abantu kuphela abazokhokhiswa yibo abaphula umthetho, ngakho kulungile.
Le mali ingasetshenziselwa ezinye izinhlangano zokuphepha zomphakathi, njengokuqasha amanye amaphoyisa. I-Dallas yinombolo eyodwa esizweni esibugebengu.
I-Cons
Kubantu abaningi, lokhu kubonakala sengathi kwenziwa imali. I-Dallas ilindele ukuthi idolobha lenze $ 12 million ukusuka kumakhamera kulo nyaka.
Izijeziso zihlukile ngekhamera nephoyisa. Uma iphoyisa liyeka umgijimi obomvu bese libhalela ithikithi, inhlawulo iwubugebengu futhi ihamba irekhodi lomshuwalense lomenzi wecala. Uma ikhamera ikhiphe isitatimende, inhlawulo yombango futhi ayikho inhlawulo yomshuwalense.
Ukuhlasela okuyimfihlo ("uMfowethu Omkhulu"). Abagxeki abaningi bakhuluma ngokuthi "umgwaqo ophuthumayo": Uma idolobha linelungelo lokusibuka futhi lisithinte njengoba sidlulisa izibani ezibomvu, kungani kungabikho amakhamera kuyo yonke indawo, ukusibheka ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke, ukusitshela noma yini ekhona kube yinkohlakalo?
Lapho Uqala khona
I-Senate Bill 125, eyethulwa ngo-29 Nov 2006 nguSen. John Carona (R-Dallas), isusa imali yomuzi ukuqhuba amakhamera ngokuthumela imali eyenziwe nguhlelo kuhulumeni ukuthi isetshenziswe esikhwameni esiphuthumayo nesithuthumayo, izindleko ezihlobene nokusebenzisa uhlelo olubomvu lwekhamera yokukhanya, okubandakanya izindleko ze-hardware, isofthiwe, amaphepha, umsebenzi womuntu, kanye nokubuyekezwa kwamacala aphikisana ngamaphoyisa nezinkantolo.
I-House Bill Bill 55, ithunyelwe ngo-13 Nov 2006 ngo-Rep. Carl Isett (R-Lubbock), ivimbela idolobha ekufakeni amakhamera avule emgwaqweni emikhulu ewela ngaphansi komthetho wedolobha. Njengoba imigwaqo ejwayelekile imigwaqo eyingozi kunazo zonke, imigwaqo emikhulu ibonisa okungenzeka kakhulu njengabenzi bemali ngaphansi kohlelo lwekhamera lokukhanya elibomvu. Futhi, lokhu kususa inzuzo enkulu yezimali yedolobha ukufaka amakhamera okukhanya okubomvu.
UMkhandlu waseDallas uhlose ukulwa nemizamo yabaphathi bezomthetho ukuthumela imali ku-SafeLight Program eya eMbusweni waseTexas. Xhumana nabo ukuze ubazise imicabango yakho kulo magazini.
