Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 9 (Reporter Xu Rui) The research team of the Public Law Research Center of Tsinghua University Law School released the "White Paper on the Development of the Driving Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper") on the 8th. The "White Paper" shows that since 2016, the demand for driving services and market scale have grown rapidly. Last year, the total order of the national driving industry has exceeded 253 million orders, and the total output value has reached 15.40 billion yuan.
According to the White Paper, drunk driving is still the largest usage scenario for users, accounting for 97.8%, followed by work fatigue, business transportation, and family transportation. While the concept of "driving without drinking, drinking without driving" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the value of the driving industry has also been fully reflected. It is estimated that the driving industry reduced the number of traffic accidents caused by drunk driving 3.50 million last year, exempting 830,000 from criminal law sanctions, and reducing property losses by 46.20 billion yuan.
The white paper also shows that chauffeur driving has become an emerging professional position, becoming the main source of income for many families. According to the data, the average monthly income of full-time chauffeur drivers in the country is 6,957 yuan, and the income of full-time chauffeur drivers in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou is more than 10,000 yuan.
In recent years, local traffic police departments have been actively exploring new methods to manage drunk driving, and "Internet + driving" has become an important breakthrough point. Represented by platforms such as Didi Driving, the driving industry has formed a new economic format, and has become an effective means to manage drunk driving and reduce traffic safety accidents. Didi Chuxing relies on massive data and intelligent transportation cloud computing platform to mine and apply big data in the field of driving to provide technical support for governing drunk driving and managing urban road traffic.
In March this year, Didi cooperated with Shenzhen traffic police to launch a new "smart transportation + drunk driving governance" method, using Internet big data, high-tech algorithms, and "Internet +" methods such as real-time heat maps to try new effective governance measures in drunk driving intervention and drunk driving law enforcement.
Last month, Didi’s "Diyu · Xingcheng" heat map has been used by traffic police in 12 cities across the country, including Nanjing, Wuhan, Qingdao, Guangzhou, etc., in daily work to control drunk driving.
"With the Xingcheng system, we combine the traffic flow and past law enforcement experience of the traffic police to more accurately control the trend of drunk driving in the city, optimize the location of the investigation and punishment of drunk driving and the time of the police, and accurately crack down on drunk driving, saving a lot of police and material resources." Jinan traffic police official said.
Cheng Wei, founder, chairperson and CEO of Didi Chuxing, introduced that since its establishment in July 2015, Didi Driving and the traffic police departments of 51 cities have carried out anti-drunk driving related activities, more than 118 times, including road Security Training, drunk driving activities, public welfare activities, anti-drunk driving alliance, etc., and actively promote the "anti-drunk driving" concept.
