Legal Protection for Traffic Police in Handling The Covid-19 Pandemic

This article aims to analyze the legal aspects of the traffic police's police in handling the covid-19 pandemic related to the legal basis of the traffic police's actions and analyze the legal protection of the traffic police who act as the Covid-19 chain breaker. Through normative legal research related to the legal aspects of traffic police actions as a Covid-19 chain breaker. In this study, the author uses a type of research, namely normative legal research. Normative research is research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials from each normative law. The findings from this study include: The juridical basis for the traffic police to break the Covid-19 chain is Article 13 of Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Police, Law Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation, Government Regulation Number 21 of 2020 concerning Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), Decree of the Indonesian National Police Number MAK/2/III/2020 concerning Compliance with Government Policies in Handling the Corona Virus, and Police Telegram Letters. The Traffic Police during Covid-19 acted according to the law in accordance with Article 19 of Law No. 2 of 2002 concerning the Police and Article 10 of Indonesian Republic Police No. 8 of 2009 concerning the Implementation of Human Rights Principles and Standards in Discharging the Duties of the Indonesian National Police.

Attitudes toward Applying Facial Recognition Technology for Red-Light Running by E-Bikers: A Case Study in Fuzhou, China

The application of facial recognition technology (FRT) can effectively reduce the red-light running behavior of e-bikers. However, the privacy issues involved in FRT have also attracted widespread attention from society. This research aims to explore the public and traffic police’s attitudes toward FRT to optimize the use and implementation of FRT. A structured questionnaire survey of 270 people and 94 traffic police in Fuzhou, China, was used. In the research, we use several methods to analyze the investigation data, including Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and multiple correspondence analysis. The survey results indicate that the application of FRT has a significant effect on reducing red-light running behavior. The public’s educational level and driving license status are the most influential factors related to their attitudes to FRT (p < 0.001). Public members with these attributes show more supportive attitudes to FRT and more concerns about privacy invasion. There are significant differences between the public and traffic police in attitudes toward FRT (p < 0.001). Compared with the public, traffic police officers showed more supportive attitudes to FRT. This research contributes to promoting the application of FRT legitimately and alleviating people’s concerns about the technology.

Chinese Traffic Police Gesture Recognition Based on Graph Convolutional Network in Natural Scene

For an automated driving system to be robust, it needs to recognize not only fixed signals such as traffic signs and traffic lights, but also gestures used by traffic police. With the aim to achieve this requirement, this paper proposes a new gesture recognition technology based on a graph convolutional network (GCN) according to an analysis of the characteristics of gestures used by Chinese traffic police. To begin, we used a spatial–temporal graph convolutional network (ST-GCN) as a base network while introducing the attention mechanism, which enhanced the effective features of gestures used by traffic police and balanced the information distribution of skeleton joints in the spatial dimension. Next, to solve the problem of the former graph structure only representing the physical structure of the human body, which cannot capture the potential effective features, this paper proposes an adaptive graph structure (AGS) model to explore the hidden feature between traffic police gesture nodes and a temporal attention mechanism (TAS) to extract features in the temporal dimension. In this paper, we established a traffic police gesture dataset, which contained 20,480 videos in total, and an ablation study was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the method we proposed. The experiment results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of traffic police gesture recognition to a certain degree; the top-1 is 87.72%, and the top-3 is 95.26%. In addition, to validate the method’s generalization ability, we also carried out an experiment on the Kinetics–Skeleton dataset in this paper; the results show that the proposed method is better than some of the existing action-recognition algorithms.

Occupational exposures and symptoms of hearing loss among traffic police wardens, Karachi Pakistan.

Objective: To assess the frequency and association of symptoms of hearing loss among traffic police wardens. Study Design: Observational (Cross-sectional) study. Setting: Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. Period: January to June 2019. Material & Methods: Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to employ 181 traffic police wardens. A self-administered questionnaire translated into the Urdu language was used. Written informed consent was taken from the participants. IBM SPSS Statistics version 22 was used for the data entry and analysis. Frequencies were determined of socio-demographic data. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to assess the factors associated with tinnitus. Results: Most of the traffic police wardens were young (mean age: 29.96 years), non-smokers (95%), having a matriculate degree (49.7%). Around 97.8% documented working in noisy places; 98.3% of the wardens did not use any hearing protection devices during work, while 98.9% stated that they never had a hearing test. Multivariable logistic regression showed strong inverse associations of tinnitus with lower education levels, longer duration of work, working in a noisy area, and experiencing sudden noise exposures in their lifetime. Conclusion: Traffic police wardens are exposed to loud noise during work, exhibiting the deleterious health impacts of occupational exposure. This workforce needs to be educated regarding the deleterious impacts of occupational noise pollution, the importance and use of personal protective equipment. Further research is warranted using more quantitative assessment.

Reforming the fleet of public authorities

The negative environmental implications and the reduced ψlevel of social services in many urban areas have attracted significant attention over the last years. Sustainability and quality of life are evolving to demanding actions in urban areas and public authorities have started to buy cleaner, greener vehicles in order to reforming their fleets. This paper presents and analyses a case study of the Traffic Police Division of Attica transition to a new vehicle fleet. It aims to examine how they managed to decrease the inefficiencies of their transport services in terms of both operational and environmental costs by achieving reduced fuel consumption as well as Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. It focuses on the impact on the environment due to the fuel consumption of vehicle fleet by using proper performance indicators (such as l/100 km for fuel consumption, g/km for CO, g/km for CO2). Overall, the performance of reforming the fleet of the Traffic Police Division of Attica is evaluated in terms of fuel consumption and GHG reductions following a proposed approach for estimating emissions.

Effectiveness of lumbar support with built-in massager system on spinal angle profiles among high-powered traffic police motorcycle riders: A randomised controlled trial

Traffic police riders are exposed to prolonged static postures causing significant angular deviation of the musculoskeletal, including the lumbar angle (L1-L5). This postural alteration contributes to awkward posture, musculoskeletal disorders and spinal injury, especially in the lower back area, as it is one of the most severe modern diseases nowadays. Thus, the study aimed to evaluate the effect of lumbar support with a built-in massager system on spinal angle profiles among traffic police riders. A randomised controlled trial (pre-testpost-test control design) was used to assess spinal angle pattern while riding the high-powered motorcycle for 20 minutes. Twenty-four traffic police riders were randomly selected to participate and 12 riders were assigned to the control group and 12 riders to the experimental group. The pre-test and post-test were conducted at a one-week interval. Each participant was required to wear a TruPosture Smart Shirt (to monitor spinal posture). The TruPosture Apps recorded the spinal angle pattern. The data indicated that the police riders using motorcycle seat with lumbar support and built-in massager system showed a huge improvement in maintaining posture which only involves slight spinal angle deviation changes from the spinal reference angle throughout the 20 minutes ride. The data collected then were analysed using the Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed-ranked test to verify a statistically significant difference between and within the control and experimental groups. There were significant differences in all sensors between the control group and experimental groups (p<0.05) and within the experimental group. According to the findings, it can be said that the ergonomic intervention prototype (lumbar support with built-in massager system) successfully helps to maintain and improve the natural curve of the spinal posture. This indirectly would reduce the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders and spinal injury among traffic police riders.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal impairment in traffic police of District Swabi, Pakistan.

The number of vehicles has been increasing out of proportion for the capacity of road infrastructure in particular in developing countries. The duty of a traffic police officer includes the implementation of daily traffic regulations. This involves long-standing hours and also particular repeated body movements. There is limited literature available on the musculoskeletal disorders develop among traffic police. Therefore this study was designed to include 219 traffic police officers from 23 traffic booths of district Swabi, Pakistan. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaires (CMDQ). Informed consent was taken before filling the questionnaire. Age distribution of the participants was grouped as: 20 to 30 years (n=51, 23.4%), 31 to 40 years (n=141, 64.7 %), and over 40 years (n=26, 11.9%). Out of 219, 23% were diabetics, hypertensive participants were 21.9% (n=48), while 54% (n=120) had no history of chronic illness. The majority of traffic cops in district Swabi reported mild discomfort in their shoulders, arms, forearms, thighs, lower legs, knees, and feet, but moderate discomfort in their neck and back. The results of the study indicate that the traffic cops in the district of Swabi suffer back and neck pain, causing them to have moderate difficulty doing their duties.
