The Liuzhou traffic police in southern China has come up with a clever trick, attaching a parking apron to the lampposts to significantly extend the flight time of drones.

Liuzhou traffic police found in their work that the most commonly used scenes of drones are often hovering on the road or above the intersection for shooting. So can we make a simple landing pad on the street lamp pole? The aircraft can be parked on the tarmac, and then the illegal behavior can be effectively captured through the relevant camera, which improves the control ability of the intersection.

Liuzhou traffic police call this simple apron a drone station, which can turn off the rotor after the drone is parked. Shoot video and transmit signals using only the camera and image transfer function. In this way, the working time of a single battery of a drone is extended by three to four times.

At present, Liuzhou traffic police installed a total of 20 drone stations in the urban area, in some relatively remote monitoring blind areas to build such stations, but also allow drones to open the role of temporary monitoring, the cost is far lower than the cost of installing surveillance cameras.

在城市管理中，无人机的作用可以说是越来越显著了，然而由于技术和体积的限制，无人机的续航能力一直是它的短板。为了解决这个弱点，柳州交警部门想出了一个小妙招，在路灯杆上装上了停机坪，显著的延长了无人机的飞行时间。
柳州交警经常使用无人机对路况进行实时监控和违法抓拍。在工作中发现，无人机使用最多的场景往往是悬停在路面或者路口上方进行拍摄。那么能不能在路灯杆儿上做一个简易的停机坪呢？可以把飞机停在停机坪上，然后通过相关自带的摄像头对违法行为有效的抓拍，提升了路口的管控能力。
柳州交警把这个简易的停机坪称为无人机驿站，无人机停上去后可以关闭旋翼。只使用摄像头和图传功能拍摄视频并传输信号。这样一来，一台无人机单块电池的工作时长延长了三到四倍。
目前，柳州交警在市区共安装了20个无人机驿站，在一些比较偏僻的监控盲区建设这样的驿站，还能够让无人机开启临时监控的作用，成本却远远低于安装监控摄像头的费用。在天网监控摄像探头没有覆盖到的地方，也设置了这个无人机驿站，可以对老百姓比较深恶痛绝的一些违法行为，进行一个着力的一个重点打击。
