How to punish an unscrupulous driver

Problem

The larger the city, the more there on the road problems. And let today Moscow lot of time to comply with traffic rules, stop rules, all metropolitan motorists still forget to pay for parking, ignore the signs "No parking" and "No Stopping" spoil lawns, I stop at the sidewalks. This creates inconvenience to pedestrians, provokes a dangerous situation on the roads and causes the just indignation.

Suppose you want to compete for order in their city or region, see the next incorrectly parked car and you want to perform a civic duty. One way - application for the offender to the executive authorities. To do this, you will need to properly photograph the vehicles the offender from certain angles, go to the website and fill in the traffic circulation correctly. It is long and difficult. The modern person simply does not have the appropriate skills and time.

What to do

To simplify and accelerate the process of Moscow Department of Transportation issued a special supplement. "Assistant to Moscow" - is the official certified the instrument by which people can independently, quickly and simply fix the violations of traffic rules and submit them to the appropriate authorities structure.

How it works

To use the "Helper Moscow" will need:

1. Smartphone on iOS or Android camera with at least 5 megapixels and GPS / GLONASS.
2. Account on a portal of the Moscow government services. If uchotki not, then now is the time to start it. The process takes one minute and saves time due to convenient ways of payment of utility bills, taxes, penalties and so on.

The application will automatically helps the user to take a picture of the car right to appeal is not rejected, but also eliminates the routine with a description of the violation.

The process is fully automated. Just follow the instructions on the screen and the rest is "Assistant Moscow" will make itself.

Many seemingly necessary functions intentionally blocked. For example, the user can not specify the location. The application does this by yourself, with requires a good signal from the satellites to prevent malfunctioning.

Enter the number of the car can not. He only recorded automatically by the camera and only built-in scanner application. Thus excluded abuse of the service, and in particular the pre-processing of the images before sending it to the executive authorities.

For the same reasons, to limit the list of violations that can be fixed. They include only those that are set explicitly by using the photos:

1. Violation of rules of stopping the vehicle (mark 3.27).
2. Violation of the vehicle stopped at a crosswalk rules.
3. Violation of the order of payment of parking.
4. Violation of rules of stopping the vehicle on the sidewalk.
5. Violation of the vehicle parking rules (mark 3.28).
6. Parking on the lawn.

In this case, the application does not collect personal data of users and drivers. Thus, the vehicle driver can not identify the person who sent the image, and the process of the application is reliably protected from theft and fraud.

After confirmation, the user will not cause violations of the police and would not require to report for clarification and other formalities. Everything takes place only on the basis of data from the application.

Interesting fact: "Assistant Moscow" are not only citizens, but also inspectors. For them, there are special accounts with extended powers, like checking a taxi license. The average person this account does not receive.

Apart from recording the violations, the app allows users to prepare and submit their proposals and suggestions directly to the Department of Transport in Moscow.

Quests and rewards

To increase the motivation of users, the developer added to the service points system with leaderboards, achievements, quests and rewards.

For each fixing violations quest and discovery achievements are awarded points, which can then be spent on the very real useful bonuses: free travel on public transport, parking time and other incentives provided by the project "Active citizen".

It really works?

Yes. During the work of the Department of Transportation service in Moscow reported on the 180 000 recorded violations. Each user can track the results of consideration of the application directly in the application.

It is planned to add new features to expand the list of violations that are available for fixation. But, as you know, all this will happen only after a thorough debugging and testing. Any shortcoming in this case can hit the wallet of an innocent man.

Is this ethical?

Projects such as "Assistant Moscow" criticized only by those who have never encountered rudeness on the roads. Because disturb and do not care about all of us normally, and to fight for a comfortable and secure life in their same city - badly.

Do not let people who call the just cause of the denunciation, to manipulate your opinion. They act solely in their own interests. They are convenient situation when you can behave like a pig and go unpunished.

Do you want to live in Moscow was better? Start with yourself. Instead of hot air in sotsialochkah useless and inherently public censure you finally get real It runs fast and easy way to report directly to the executive authorities of the abuse and punish the unscrupulous driver. Use this.
