Sau khi xảy ra vụ tai nạn thương tâm tại Long An, Phó Thủ tướng Thường trực Trương Hòa Bình đã yêu cầu cơ quan liên quan tổng hợp các vụ TNGT đặc biệt nghiêm trọng liên quan tới xe tải, xe container trong năm 2018, phân tích nguyên nhân, tham mưu đề xuất các giải pháp phòng ngừa.

Tạm giữ tài xế gây tai nạn để điều tra

Trưa 3/1/2019, Thượng tá Nguyễn Minh Sáng, người phát ngôn Công an tỉnh Long An cho biết đã khởi tố vụ án Vi phạm quy định về tham gia giao thông đường bộ, đồng thời tạm giữ hình sự tài xế Phạm Thành Hiếu (32 tuổi) để điều tra.

Trước đó, ngày 2/1/2019, Hiếu lái xe đầu kéo chở hai thùng container gạo (loại 20 feet mỗi thùng) từ Long An về TP HCM. Đến ngã tư Bình Nhựt trên Quốc lộ  1A, đoạn gần cầu Bến Lức, xe lách qua một xe tải phía trước rồi lao vào làn xe hai bánh tông hàng loạt xe máy dừng đèn đỏ.

Chiếc container tiếp tục chạy tới cuốn nhiều xe máy khác vào gầm, kéo đi khoảng 150 m mới dừng lại. Tai nạn làm bốn người tử vong, gần 20 người bị thương, 21 xe máy biến dạng.

Một số người gần nhà Hiếu cho biết, trưa đó Hiếu đi đám tân gia và có khả năng đã uống rượu bia. Sau khi gây tai nạn, Hiếu đóng cửa xe và rời khỏi hiện trường nhưng tối 2/1/2019 đã đến trụ sở công an trình diện. Xét nghiệm lần đầu, Hiếu dương tính với ma túy trong nước tiểu, trong máu có cồn. Bước đầu Hiếu nói có sử dụng bia trước khi lái xe nhưng không thừa nhận việc sử dụng ma túy.

Tài xế này cũng cho rằng trước khi xe gây tai nạn thì “bộ phận phanh có trục trặc”, không thể xử lý để dừng xe được. Tuy nhiên, đây chỉ là khai nhận ban đầu của Hiếu. Hiện, cơ quan điều tra cho giám định xe container gây tai nạn để phục vụ điều tra.

Trả lời báo chí, ông Hồ Thanh Nhàn (45 tuổi, Giám đốc Công ty TNHH Thạnh Đức) cho biết, Hiếu làm việc tại công ty khoảng năm năm, có giấy phép lái xe hạng FC (bằng lái xe container) do Sở Giao thông Vận tải TP HCM cấp năm 2015. Tài xế này được trả tiền theo từng chuyến chở hàng (không ký hợp đồng lao động).

Công ty chuyên kinh doanh về vận tải, có khoảng 20 tài xế. Hiếu được ông Nhàn đánh giá là “tài xế tốt nhất” công ty, “chịu cày” nuôi vợ và hai con nhỏ. “Tôi rất bất ngờ khi Hiếu dương tính ma túy. Mấy năm làm việc, chúng tôi không hề thấy anh ta có biểu hiện hút chích hay nghiện ma tuý”, ông Nhàn đánh giá.

Sáng 2/1, Hiếu đến nhận xe chở gạo từ TP Tân An về TP HCM và “không có biểu hiện gì lạ”. Đến chiều, khi được người dân cho hay, công ty đã cử 6-7 người đến hiện trường cùng đưa các nạn nhân đi cấp cứu. Sáng 3/1, công ty đã thăm hỏi và hỗ trợ các nạn nhân bị thương 3-5 triệu đồng, người chết 10 triệu đồng. “Sau vụ này, công ty sẽ siết chặt hơn việc quản lý tài xế cũng như quá trình giao xe đi chở hàng”, ông Nhàn nói.

Giải pháp nào phòng ngừa?

Đây không phải là lần đầu tiên xảy ra tai nạn “tai bay vạ gió” như vậy với những người đang dừng chờ đèn đỏ. Mới đây, ngày 13/11/2018, một xe khách khi đến khu vực ngã tư Dầu Giây (huyện Thống Nhất, tỉnh Đồng Nai) đã tông vào hàng loạt xe gắn máy đang chờ đèn đỏ khiến 5 người bị thương.

Trước đó hơn một tháng, ngày 21/10/2018, xe BMW khi đến vòng xoay Ngã tư Hàng Xanh (TP HCM) đã bất ngờ đâm 5 xe máy đang dừng chờ đèn đỏ khiến một người chết và nhiều người bị thương. Nữ tài xế khai nhận trước khi xảy ra tai nạn đã đi ăn nhậu tại một nhà hàng, uống bia dẫn đến tình trạng say xỉn, mất kiểm soát.

Sau vụ tai nạn kinh hoàng ở Long An, Phó Thủ tướng Trương Hòa Bình đã yêu cầu Văn phòng Ủy ban ATGT Quốc gia phối hợp Cục CSGT, Bộ Công an và Tổng cục Đường bộ tổng hợp các vụ TNGT đặc biệt nghiêm trọng liên quan tới xe tải, xe container trong năm 2018, phân tích nguyên nhân, tham mưu đề xuất các giải pháp phòng ngừa.

Trao đổi với PLVN, nhiều chuyên gia cũng đã chia sẻ những kinh nghiệm, giải pháp của mình để góp phần hạn chế tai nạn.

Ông Khuất Việt Hùng, Phó Chủ tịch Ủy ban An toàn giao thông (ATGT) Quốc gia cho biết, trong thời gian tới Bộ Giao thông Vận tải sẽ tiếp tục hoàn thiện Thông tư về công tác đào tạo sát hạch giấy phép lái xe cũng như hoàn thiện bộ tài liệu giảng dạy và bộ đề thi của các loại giấy phép lái xe. Theo đó, nội dung giảng dạy sẽ gắn với thực hành, xây dựng giá trị đạo đức của người điều khiển phương tiện.

Liên quan đến thông tin tài xế xe container có kết quả dương tính với ma túy và có nồng độ cồn trong máu cao, ông Hùng cho biết: “UB ATGT Quốc gia sẽ kiến nghị với Chính phủ chỉ đạo các địa phương, các lực lượng tăng cường công tác tuần tra, kiểm soát tập trung xử lý các hành vi liên quan đến nồng độ cồn. Thứ hai, liên quan đến điều kiện quản lý kinh doanh vận tải, quản lý sức khỏe lái xe trong những tháng đầu của quý I/2019, UB ATGT Quốc gia sẽ yêu cầu tổ chức khám, kiểm tra ma túy trong máu, trong nước tiểu của tất cả các tài xế giao thông vận tải. Trước tiên tập trung vào xe khách, xe container để phát hiện, ngăn chặn những người điều khiển phương tiện dương tính với ma túy dễ dẫn đến nguy cơ gây tai nạn giao thông”.

“Dịp Tết Dương lịch vừa rồi, theo thông tin từ ngành Y tế, nạn nhân nhập viện cấp cứu do tai nạn giao thông và vi phạm nồng độ cồn gây tai nạn giao thông chiếm tỷ lệ cao. Vì vậy Ủy ban ATGT Quốc gia sẽ có ý kiến để kịp thời phát hiện ngăn chặn, không để người có vi phạm điều khiển phương tiện dẫn đến nguy cơ gây tai nạn giao giao thông, giống như vụ tai nạn giao thông hôm qua tại Long An là đặc biệt thảm khốc”, ông Khuất Việt Hùng nói.

Một chiến sĩ CSGT cho hay, có những tai nạn có thể tránh được nếu tài xế không phóng nhanh, vượt ẩu, không dùng chất kích thích, rượu bia. Ông cũng cho hay, các phương tiện xe máy không lấn tuyến xe ô tô để không phải chịu cảnh “tai bay vạ gió”. Công tác kiểm định xe phải được thực hiện nghiêm, tránh tình trạng hỏng hóc bất thường…

Nằm ở Khoa cấp cứu Trung tâm Y tế huyện Bến Lức với vết trầy xước ở chân ở vai, một nạn nhân nói mình vừa trải qua cơn ác mộng. “Tôi đang dừng đèn đỏ thì nghe một tiếng rầm, vừa quay lại thì thấy xe container hất tung nhiều người cùng xe máy và đang lao về phía mình”, anh nói.

Chàng trai và bạn gái bị hất văng sang một bên, còn xe máy gãy làm đôi. “Té xuống tôi nhìn xem bạn gái ở đâu thì thấy cô ấy bị văng cách đó mấy mét đã ngất xỉu, xung quanh người và xe la liệt, rau quả, đồ đạc, tiền bạc vung vãi”, anh Tín nhớ lại.

Nam thanh niên cho biết anh cùng người yêu làm công nhân ở Bình Dương. Tranh thủ kỳ nghỉ Tết Dương lịch, cả hai về thăm nhà cô gái rồi trở lại làm việc nhưng không may gặp nạn. “Tưởng rằng chuyến thăm nhà sẽ trọn vẹn thì ngày cuối lại gặp nạn. Bạn gái tôi bị thương ở đầu, tôi chỉ mong cô ấy không bị nặng”, anh nói giọng buồn buồn.

Chứng kiến cảnh la liệt người, bê bết máu sau tai nạn, nhiều người dân quên đi nỗi sợ để cứu người, anh Đặng Trường Giang (ngụ Bến Lức) nhớ lại, lúc đó anh đang ở bãi cát dưới chân cầu Bến Lức thì thấy tiếng rầm rất lớn, rồi tiếng la hét, kêu khóc.”Đến nơi tôi thấy khung cảnh tan hoang như thời chiến. Ba người nằm một chỗ đầy máu. Tôi cùng một số người đưa họ lên xe cấp cứu”, anh Giang thuật lại.

But for now, a shopping bot is an artificial intelligence (AI) that completes specific tasks. With shopping bots, customers can make purchases with minimal time and effort, enhancing the overall shopping experience.

But when bots target these margin-negative products, the customer acquisition goals of flash sales go unmet. All you achieve is low-to-negative margin sales without any of the benefits.

First, you miss a chance to create a connection with a valuable customer. Hyped product launches can be a fantastic way to reward loyal customers and bring new customers into the fold. Shopping bots sever the relationship between your potential customers and your brand.

Shopping bots have an edge over traditional retailers when it comes to customer interaction and problem resolution.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

You don’t have to tell it anything, just choose a category and then a product and the AI will start asking questions to find the right item.

You can write your queries in the chat, and it will show results in the left panel.

Navigating the e-commerce world without guidance can often feel like an endless voyage. With a plethora of choices at their fingertips, customers can easily get overwhelmed, leading to decision fatigue or, worse, abandoning their shopping journey altogether. They crave a shopping experience that feels unique to them, one where the products and deals presented align perfectly with their tastes and needs.

Chatbots also cater to consumers’ need for instant gratification and answers, whether stores use them to provide 24/7 customer support or advertise flash sales. This constant availability builds customer trust and increases eCommerce conversion rates.

They streamline operations, enhance customer journeys, and contribute to your bottom line. Online customers usually expect immediate responses to their inquiries. However, it’s humanly impossible to provide round-the-clock assistance. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. While physical stores give the freedom to ‘try before you buy,’ online shopping misses out on this personal touch. One of the significant benefits that shopping bots contribute is facilitating a fast and easy checkout process.

You don’t want to miss out on this broad audience segment by having a shopping bot that misbehaves on smaller screens or struggles to integrate with mobile interfaces. This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store. The customer’s ability to interact with products is a key factor that marks the difference between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. When a customer lands at the checkout stage, the bot readily fills in the necessary details, removing the need for manual data input every time you’re concluding a purchase. This vital consumer insight allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their product offerings and services continually. Ranging from clothing to furniture, this bot provides recommendations for almost all retail products.

Whether an intentional DDoS attack or a byproduct of massive bot traffic, website crashes and slowdowns are terrible for any retailer. They lose you sales, shake the trust of your customers, and expose your systems to security breaches. So it’s not difficult to see how they overwhelm web application infrastructure, leading to site crashes and slowdowns.

Theo thông tin của rất nhiều khách hàng không may sử dụng dịch vụ của công ty tài chính COMB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB, thì họ liên tục bị điện thoại khủng bố người nhà và cả bạn bè trên Facebook, mặc dù khoản vay chưa đến hạn thanh toán. Ví dụ bạn có khoản vay 20 phải đóng hàng tháng thì từ ngày 10 đến ngày 20 bạn sẽ liên tục bị gọi điện ngày 2-3 cuộc nhắc nợ, nếu khách hàng cảm thấy phiền không nghe thì họ sẽ tìm thông tin của bạn bè người thân trên facebook rồi gọi điện làm phiền. Theo như nhiều người sử dụng các dịch vụ tài chính thì chưa có dịch vụ tài chính nào có kiểu nhắc nợ bỉ ổi như công ty tài chính ComB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB. Các công ty tài chính chỉ gọi điện nhắc nợ nhiều lần khi khách hàng đã quá ngày thanh toán mà chưa hoàn thành còn trước đó họ chỉ gọi 1 cuộc để nhắc nhở khách hàng mà thôi. Co những khách hàng lịch sử trả nợ rất tốt, chưa bao giờ bị quá hạn vẫn bị khủng bố như thường.
