In recent years, with the surge of drones, the application of drones in various industries has gradually penetrated. In the security industry, due to the obvious advantages of drones in aerial photography, the shortcomings of surveillance cameras previously known as surveillance dead ends and physical destruction are expected to be improved. As a long-term service provider in the fields of public security, transportation, energy, and fire protection, security manufacturers have accumulated a lot of industry experience and resources in this regard.
Recently, Wang Zhanchao, deputy chief engineer of China Aviation Industry Development Research Center, said that the statistics of China Aviation Industry Development Research Center from July 2015 to June 2016, the size of the UAV industry in the security field is about 180 million yuan, accounting for Than 12%. Wang Zhanchao pointed out that although the market size of the drone industry is directly related to the population size, Beijing, Xinjiang, Tianjin, and Tibet are key national security areas, and the demand for the drone market in these areas is greater. So, what are the applications and cases of drones in the security industry?
Application of UAV in Security Monitoring
Compared with traditional monitoring methods, security UAV monitoring is mobile, high efficiency, three-dimensional and so on. Drones are used in the field of security surveillance. The surveillance camera can no longer be fixed in one place. The drone carrying the camera device is used to carry out large-scale aerial photography to achieve the effect of aerial overlooking and make the scope of video surveillance more open.
Since Xi’an entered the winter prevention period in November, pollution control and haze reduction has become one of the main tasks of the urban management law enforcement department. In the process of law enforcement, some workers were indifferent to the “territorial ban”, and they refused to open the door when they were inspected by law enforcement officers. Some workers were also arranged to look out for the wind and close the door immediately when they saw the law enforcement officers coming. In response to this problem encountered in law enforcement, the Squadron of Urban Management Fish Chemical Industrial Park, Yanta District, Xi’an City purchased a drone to assist in law enforcement inspections. Even if the construction site does not open the door, the camera on the drone will transmit the situation on the construction site to the mobile phone. It is clear at the site whether there are any violations of laws and regulations. A construction site can be inspected in 5 minutes.
Law enforcement officials said that in the past, it took at least 30 minutes to walk through the corners of the site after manual inspection, and the use of drones not only saved manpower but also saved time. The on-site data captured by the drone can be transmitted to the back-end system of the unit synchronously. If there is a violation of the law that requires entering the on-site law enforcement, the squadron will immediately send additional personnel to deal with it. In addition, the UAV can also be used to investigate and deal with garbage incineration, and can shoot within a certain range, which can promptly find the phenomenon of incineration of garbage.
Application of Drones in Intelligent Transportation
The participation of drones in urban traffic management can exert its own expertise and advantages, and help public security city traffic management departments to jointly solve the stubborn diseases of large and medium-sized cities. Not only can macroscopically ensure the implementation of urban transportation development plans, but also microscopic live surveillance, The regulation of traffic flow, the construction of a three-dimensional water, land, and air traffic management system to achieve regional management and control to ensure smooth traffic, respond to unexpected traffic incidents, and implement emergency rescue.
The drone assists traffic management, which greatly improves the efficiency of accident response. Once a traffic accident occurs, the drone can capture an intuitive picture to help the traffic control master the final position of the vehicle involved and quickly restore the scene when the traffic accident occurred. Provide data support for accident liability determination. It can also quickly collect complete on-site information when expressway congestion or major accidents occur, clarify the congestion points, and promote the unblocking work. Even at major intersections and important sections in urban areas, drones can collect all-round high-altitude video and store it for a long time, so that the traffic police department can make adjustments based on long-term traffic conditions, such as resetting the timing of intersection signal lights to improve traffic efficiency.
In July this year, the Shenzhen Traffic Police UAV Squadron officially appeared on the road for law enforcement, and investigated and dealt with the occupation of emergency lanes and vehicle jams. It is understood that the average drone can capture 20 to 30 violations every 90 minutes during test enforcement.
Application of Drones in Fire Fighting and Disaster Relief
The drone moved quickly and took only 7 minutes from takeoff to landing, and completed 100,000 square meters of aerial photography, which is of great significance to the rescue work after the disaster. In addition, drones ensure the safety of rescue work. Through aerial photography, they avoid the danger zones that may have collapses. They will provide a reasonable distribution of rescue forces, determine key disaster relief areas, choose safe rescue routes, and select sites for post-disaster reconstruction. Very valuable reference. In addition, unmanned aerial vehicles can monitor the situation in the affected area in real time in order to prevent secondary disasters.
On August 12, 2015, a dangerous goods explosion occurred in the Tanggu Development Zone, Binhai New Area, Tianjin. Due to the large amount of hazardous chemicals stored on the site, a large amount of toxic and harmful gases were generated after the explosion, which directly posed a serious threat to the lives of frontline combatants. The traditional The method of manually collecting images has been unable to carry out effectively.
Therefore, the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security urgently mobilized 8 fire drones in Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong Corps at the first time, accompanied 31 communication backbones to assist Tianjin overnight, and fully utilized the fire drones to obtain all-round high-altitude and high-definition disasters in real time On-site images enable effective dynamic monitoring of disaster situations and rescue. According to statistics, in 7 days, the fire drone has carried out 87 reconnaissance flight missions, transmitting images of the explosion core area for more than 750 minutes, providing the headquarters with a large amount of detailed dynamic image information of the disaster situation, for the on-site command of scientific decision-making A unique role.
Application of Drones in Express Delivery Industry
At present, although the transportation of air and railway has greatly shortened the transportation itinerary, most of the parcels need to go through the road transportation link to the master, but the logistics industry currently lacks an intelligent highway logistics network operation system and lacks complete functions. Logistics network is still a big problem. In response to the logistics and transportation problem, the e-commerce giant Amazon first proposed a drone transportation solution. In recent years, as the popularity of drones continues to rise, drones have also become a new channel for more and more logistics and e-commerce distribution.
On December 21,2016,7-Eleven, one of the world’s largest convenience chain stores, announced that it had completed 77 UAV delivery services transactions in Nevada. According to the reporter, the commercial drone company Flirtey cooperated with 7-Eleven. Both parties completed the first courier service in July this year. Flirtey is also the first drone delivery company approved by the FAA. It is reported that the 7-Eleven drone express delivery mainly includes cold drinks, hot food and non-prescription drugs. Customers place orders online, and the staff places the order items unattended. Express delivery box is sufficient, and the entire delivery time does not exceed 10 minutes.
summary
In fact, the application of drones in the security industry is far from these, such as digital cities, urban planning, land and resources survey, land survey and law enforcement, mineral resources development, forest fire monitoring, flood control and drought relief, environmental monitoring, border monitoring, military reconnaissance and police There are many industries such as fire control monitoring and other special industries that can be used for drone operations. However, before the drone enters thousands of households, the unsafe factors of the drone cannot be ignored. After all, the drone will affect the normal management of the airspace and will also bring a series of security issues such as privacy violations. Only when the word “pipe” comes first will the drone fly higher.
