Recently, careful citizens found that a yellow display screen with "electronic police supervision (illegal whistle)" was added to Xuwei Hutong, Dongcheng district and Ximen, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, showing three rows of license plates at a time, the license plate number does not change. The reporter of Beijing Morning Post learned that this is the newly launched capture system of illegal whistle of urban roads in the traffic control department of this city. This system can accurately reproduce the whole process of illegal whistle of motor vehicles by using high-tech means, it provides authoritative basis for the police to strictly manage and punish illegal whistle.

The reporter saw the newly employed "whistle capture system" at the northeast corner of Ximen intersection of Concord Hospital ". In addition to the whistle collection system above, the most conspicuous one is the huge "electronic police supervision (illegal whistle)" notice board. The reporter noticed that the yellow notice board can display the complete car number of three rows, and scroll in real time according to the whistle of the approaching car.

The patients who went to Concord Hospital were in a constant stream. At the same time, because the hospital was located in a bustling commercial street, traffic flows often interwoven in front of the hospital. Because no traffic lights are set at this intersection, if pedestrians pass through the intersection, drivers will whistle from time to time. If there is a backlog of rear cars caused by pedestrians crossing the road, the whistle will often fall one after another, making the road noisy.

Just as the reporter stood by the roadside, a car with Beijing N license plate approached the whistle capture system. Because the front car avoided pedestrians from driving slowly, the driver with Beijing N license plate rang the horn many times, at this time, the system captured the sound, and then the license plate was displayed on the notice board.
