康涅狄格州校车安装AI车牌识别摄像头追踪违规驾驶

康涅狄格州至少7个城镇与BusPatrol公司合作，在校车上安装了人工智能车牌识别摄像头，用于记录驾驶员非法超越停驶校车的行为。1这些城镇包括弗农、桥港、丹伯里、谢尔顿、斯特拉特福、北黑有和新海文。1新海文市已在超过300辆校车上部署了该技术，迄今已捕获12000起违规事件。1在项目启动的前三天内，弗农镇就通过摄像头识别了近100名驾驶员的违规行为。1

州政府推进这一举措的背景在于校车安全问题。1康涅狄格州在过去六年中经历了12人死亡和23人重伤的校车相关事故。1为鼓励驾驶员遵守交规，2024年州法律更新将首次违法罚款从450美元降至250美元（如被摄像头捕获）。1

这一监控措施引发了隐私方面的担忧。1康涅狄格州州长拉蒙特已呼吁为期30天的暂停期，以制定数据保留和共享指南。1民权倡导者丹·派珀表示："我认为校车上的AI摄像头应该被禁止，就像州内和全国所有AI摄像头一样。"1截至目前，康涅狄格州已安装近800台自动车牌识别摄像头，是新英格兰地区人均摄像头最多的州。1

At least seven municipalities across Connecticut are installing artificial intelligence-powered license plate reading cameras on school buses in partnership with BusPatrol to catch drivers illegally passing stopped buses 1. New Haven has equipped over 300 buses with the technology, which has already recorded 12,000 violations 1. Vernon recorded nearly 100 illegal pass-throughs in just the first three days of the program 1.

The initiative comes as the state grapples with school bus safety concerns. Connecticut has experienced 12 deaths and 23 serious injuries from school bus incidents over the past six years 1. The state legislature recently adjusted penalties, reducing first-time fines from $450 to $250 for violations captured on camera under a 2024 law update 1.

The deployment has raised privacy concerns among residents and state officials. Connecticut has already installed nearly 800 automated license plate recognition cameras statewide, making it the highest per-capita user of such technology in New England 1. Governor Lamont has called for a 30-day pause on new installations to establish data retention and sharing guidelines 1. Civil rights advocate Dan Piper stated: "I believe AI cameras on school buses should be banned, just like all AI cameras in the state and across the nation" 1.
