BigC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So who ever owns the shares or gps company shall make a fortune As for criminals meeting up i understand is some is on bail But treating everyone as criminals just in case they are thats wrong If someone is acting susupsiocly then the police are normally called anyway So they don't have resources for pulling people over for speeding but have resources to remotely monitor cars abd bikes?????<deleted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatupThailand Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey, you got to give those Chinese something to do in Thailand. Just think about all the new Chinese manufacturing jobs to be created....for Chinese. Also another step closer to China's social spy system. I have to wonder if this guy wears Red Underwear with a Star on it. Also Chinese/Thai Family history perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Cannt imagine this bill getting through It effects Thais officals everyone Nooje wants that kind of strict level monitoring Can't even imagine judges wanting thier cars tracked Unless you car is a government car or company vehicle then the excuse to track speeding can be done from the ground I mean who is going tk monitor all these speedint vehicles or is rhe system going to auto send us letters in the post eventually noone will have license people be losing their jobs Everyone speeds I mean everyone Including the people behind this Plus not everykne crashes due to speeds Seen people crash at nornal speed in a straight line just simply fall off Also people hittint pot holes I hit a pot hole the other day on a government road caused both my car tyres to explode Can I have 5000 baht in damages ?

BigC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Allot if crashes due to badly lite areas Allowing u-turna on highways is super dangerous Other obstacles People hitting concrete electric posts Some posts are in the main road. Maybe peoppe should go around taking photos if these hot spots Also drunk driving which a gps cannot pick up that would need to be done on the road Maybe inssurance companies can offer cheapet rate if optional GPS but up to the individual Some people maye wish to have it but large amount of people will not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it can track you when switched off. I don't know if this is true or anecdotal. I don't even know if taking the battery out changes anything. Just did a google on the NSA system. They can track a switched off phone if they download a trojan to the phone that still sends a 'here I am signal'. Taking the battery out stops this. The other way is to somehow physically insert a 'chip' in the phone that will 'signal' where the phone is. I take it might have it's own mini power source charged from the battery. So, unless you are a 'person of interest' that requires tracking ie not you, me or joe soap, taking the battery out limits tracking to the last known location by tower triangulation. As soon as you put the battery back you're on the map again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greer Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The silly part is this... a GPS unit doesn't report your location to anything - it is a receiver only - then it has to be coupled to a device that has a data connection to the internet - as in your mobile phone, in which you then have to enable a reporting app to share your location data - now that is the phone version, and obviously this would have to be quite different. What they are talking about is a GPS receiver WITH an internet connection and software that reports location every say second or 5 seconds or something. Hence the minister mentioning the 300 baht "operating costs"... probably per month - which covers the cost of the internet data connection. This is going to be very problematic because all of a sudden you are going to have something like 37+ MILLION extra devices (one per vehicle) connecting via wireless data to the internet - and the authorities will have to set up an entire facility that monitors all vehicles. The bigger issue though is that for a huge percentage of those drivers, 3000 baht initial cost, plus an ongoing 300 baht a month is too expensive. Bear in mind that the vast majority of road accidents involve motorcycles... and many of those are low cost bikes and it is unlikely that the owners could afford to buy the GPS device at all.

For the tiny amount of data each unit would send I reckon 300 Baht per annum would cover it easily.

FarFlungFalang Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Will not be long before they are able to eliminate speeding by having the speed of the vehicle controlled by the GPS data that will be sealed in a tamper proof box.When coupled with radio GPS can be accurate to within a couple of centimetres.We build rail and roads and even do land boundary work with GPS so people better get ready because this is well on the way to becoming reality.How do people think google are able to provide google maps?I can tell you it's not with a tape measure and a theodolite,they even operate planes with this technology.Not to mention all those military drones!

As usual they a merely copying ideas and it's not so idiotic as it sounds as enforcement would not be reliant upon inefficient policing by inefficient enforcement officers and could eliminate the bribery element of which many here have expressed their dislike for.It would have a major impact on peoples tendency to speed especially all those mini vans which go screaming past me even when I'm speeding.Imagine the benefits of reducing the fatality rate from accidents.Also imagine getting a ticket each time you exceed the speed limit.I'm wondering why people think that reducing speeding is such an idiotic idea,perhaps you may be able to inform me as you are one of those people.

I'm sure there are ways to block the signals but I'm also sure that any interference with the signal could be detected which could then be addressed with a fine!I've also read that man has not made a lock that can't be picked so I'm sure some people would end up bypassing any system.
