Tickets for illegal parking and speeding have been handwritten by the police in the past, but mistakes are made from time to time and the process is time-consuming. Therefore, a pilot plan was launched in March last year to replace the traditional handwritten "beef jerky" with an electronic ticket.
According to a document submitted by the Police Force to the Transport Panel of the Legislative Council today, between 2017 and 2020, the police issued an average of about 1.7 million paper "beef jerky" and about 6,700 "wrongly copied cards" that had to be withdrawn. The error rate was Up to 0.39%. After the trial of e-ticketing, because the process is more time-saving and the number of card copying has increased by more than 30%, it is recommended to apply for non-recurring expenses of RMB 352 million and recurring expenses of approximately RMB 50.02 million per year to launch electronic transportation. In the law enforcement system, in addition to electronic card copying, citizens can also view electronic tickets, pay fines, and even browse illegal photos or videos through a dedicated website.
The relevant electronic system is expected to be implemented in stages in the first quarter of 2023, and the system is expected to be fully operational in January 2024.

An average of 6700 wrong copies of e-tickets each year save 10 to 15 minutes
At present, most of the "beef jerky" information is handwritten by police officers and then entered into the computer by the logistics staff. The process is quite time-consuming.
According to a document submitted by the police to the Legislative Council, the current process of issuing tickets generally takes 15 to 30 minutes. After that, civilians will be required to enter the system of the Judiciary. However, with the use of electronic tickets, the process is generally large. It takes 5 to 15 minutes to save 10 to 15 minutes.
The document also pointed out that between 2017 and 2020, an average of about 1.7 million paper illegal parking tickets were issued, of which about 6,700 had to be withdrawn due to human error. The problems included failure to identify the tickets or traffic summons applications. The error rate of the handwritten information, wrong/missing input data, etc. on the form reached 0.39%; however, there is still room for error after the change to the electronic ticket. The document indicates that about 1 million electronic tickets will be issued in 2020, and there will be about 800 Zhang Xu withdrew at a rate of 0.08%, which was a significant drop from the paper notice.
The police will provide a phone with a related mobile application. After scanning the QR code on the driving license and driving permit, and using the global positioning system to retrieve the location of the scene, the ticket can be filled in automatically.

Electronic ticketing saves time by 10-15 minutes
In March last year, the trial of electronic ticket notification was carried out. Police officers only need to use the two-dimensional code on the "du" vehicle permit to issue a ticket. As it saves time, the number of ticket copies has also increased.
According to the document, nine months after the launch of the electronic ticketing pilot program, that is, between April and February last year, the police issued a total of about 2.2 million illegal parking tickets, of which more than 4 became electronic tickets. In 2020 A total of 2.7 million illegal parking tickets were issued throughout the year, which is 33% more than in 2018.
According to the police, it takes about 5 to 15 minutes to issue an electronic ticket, which is 10 to 15 minutes less than manual ticketing.
From 2017 to 2020, an average of about 6,700 tickets have to be withdrawn due to human error each year.

New system allows citizens to pay fines online to view illegal photos
The proposed electronic traffic law enforcement system will not only make it easier for the police to copy cards, but also establish a dedicated platform for electronic traffic law enforcement. The public can log in to the website through "Smart Convenience" for identity authentication, check electronic tickets and view illegal photos after application. And videos, you can also pay fines online such as credit cards, FPS, and other related services.
In addition to copying illegal parking, the red light camera and speed detection camera "Shadow Quick Photo" will also be connected to the license plate and driving license system of the Transport Department, allowing the police to inquire about the information of the illegal vehicle.
After the use of electronic tickets, the number of tickets issued increased by 33%.

To use electronic card copying, the government needs to amend some laws, and also allow the Commissioner of Transport to collect the email addresses and phone numbers of registered car owners. The government plans to submit relevant bills to the Legislative Council in 2021/22.
The government expects to implement the above electronic system in phases from 2023. It will apply for 352 million yuan in this legislative year to purchase the necessary equipment and staff training, taking into account the hardware and software costs, as well as saving printed documents and inputting paper data. Computer clerical staff, the project's annual recurrent expenditure is about 50.02 million yuan.
The government expects that the system will be fully operational in January 2024.
