一项人工智能试点测试在短短两周内在伯明翰和伍尔弗汉普顿识别出了近19,000起潜在的驾车违章行为。
An artificial intelligence trial identified almost 19,000 potential driving offences in Birmingham and Wolverhampton in just two weeks.
西米德兰兹郡市长理查德·帕克称这些调查结果“令人震惊”，并表示置自己和他人于危险境地的司机数量“远超我们的预期”。
West Midlands mayor Richard Parker called the findings "shocking" saying the number of drivers putting themselves and others at risk was "far higher than we expected".
该试点测试于3月在莱迪伍德和法灵斯帕克消防站外部使用人工智能摄像头，以识别潜在的安全带和手机违章行为。
The trial used AI-powered cameras outside Ladywood and Fallings Park fire stations in March to identify potential seatbelt and mobile phone offences.
它们捕获的图像包括一名副驾驶座位上的乘客腿上抱着一名未系安全带的小孩，以及一名司机双手拿着手机。
The images they captured included a front-seat passenger holding a small child on their lap without a seatbelt and a driver holding a mobile phone with both hands.
数十张图像显示儿童在乘车时未使用与其年龄相符的安全约束装置。
Dozens of images showed children travelling without age-appropriate restraints.
在莱迪伍德，该技术识别出了11,045起潜在的安全带违章和1,163起潜在的手机违章。在法灵斯帕克，它记录了6,030起潜在的安全带违章和757起潜在的手机违章。
At Ladywood, the technology identified 11,045 potential seatbelt offences and 1,163 potential mobile phone offences. At Fallings Park, it recorded 6,030 potential seatbelt offences and 757 potential mobile phone offences.
帕克表示：“置自身及他人（包括一些极小的儿童）生命安全于不克斯险境的人数坦率地说令人震惊，且远高于我们的预期。”
Parker said: "The number of people risking their own lives and the lives of others, including some very young children, is frankly shocking and far higher than we expected.
他补充道：“我曾遇到过因鲁莽驾驶而失去亲人的家庭，他们永远无法从这些悲剧中恢复过来。”他还表示，在对调查结果进行审查的同时，他将动用“所有可用的资源”来让道路更加安全。
"I've met families who have lost loved ones to reckless driving," he added. "They never recover from those tragedies." He said he would use "every resource available" to make roads safer as the findings were reviewed.
该试点项目由西米德兰兹郡联合管理局资助，并与警方和消防部门合作开展。该试点不打算采取执法行动，其旨在确定使用手机和未系儿童安全约束装置的潜在规模。
The trial was funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority working with the police and fire service. No enforcement is planned as a result of the trial, which was intended to establish the potential scale of mobile phone use and failures to use child restraints.
西米德兰兹郡警察与犯罪专员兼该地区道路安全伙伴关系委员会主席西蒙·福斯特表示，这些调查结果“令人深感担忧”。
Simon Foster, West Midlands police and crime commissioner and chairman of the region's road safety partnership board, said the findings were "deeply concerning".
他补充道：“我们正在密切评估这些试点结果，以考虑如何部署这种先进的人工智能技术用于未来的警方执法。我们将动用手头一切有效的工具来确保我们的道路更安全。”西米德兰兹郡道路安全专员马特·麦克唐纳表示，开车时使用手机和未系安全带是该地区道路上导致死亡和重伤的两大主要原因。
"We are closely evaluating these trial results to consider how this advanced AI technology can be deployed for future police enforcement," he added. "We will use every effective tool at our disposal to ensure our roads are safer." Mat MacDonald, the West Midlands road safety commissioner, said mobile phone use at the wheel and failing to wear a seatbelt were two of the leading causes of death and serious injury on the region's roads.
联合管理局表示，去年的道路安全数据显示，英国道路上有32起死亡事故与使用手机有关，而有133起死亡事故与未系安全带有关。
The WMCA said road safety data for last year showed mobile phone use was linked to 32 deaths on UK roads while unfastened seatbelts were linked to 133 deaths.
在西米德兰兹郡，每年约有2,000名司机因开车时使用手机而被罚款并扣分。
About 2,000 drivers a year in the West Midlands are fined and given penalty points for using a phone while driving.
