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.
