Multiple measures taken in transportation to escort the Spring Festival travel rush
2024-01-29
At 5:34 am on January 26th, train G6701 slowly departed from Beijing West Station, marking the first high-speed train to operate in the Beijing area during this year's Spring Festival travel rush. On that day, the 40 day 2024 Spring Festival travel event officially kicked off. As the first Spring Festival travel after a stable transition in epidemic prevention and control, comprehensive analysis shows that the scale of personnel flow during this year's Spring Festival travel will significantly exceed pre epidemic levels, and the passenger volume of railways and civil aviation is expected to reach a new historical high. According to calculations, during this year's Spring Festival travel rush, the total number of cross regional personnel mobility in society will reach 9 billion, setting a new historical high. Faced with enormous passenger pressure, transportation departments have strengthened transportation connections, strengthened safety production, optimized travel experiences, improved emergency capabilities, ensured material transportation, and created a warm atmosphere, striving to create a "safe, convenient, and warm Spring Festival travel". Guarding 7.2 billion self driving trips "This bowl of Congee is really delicious. I didn't expect that we could drink a bowl of hot Congee when we were running around. Not only the body is warm, but also the heart is warm." Master Zhang, the long-distance truck driver, said happily after receiving the Congee sent by Yingshanhong volunteer from the Qichun Management Office of Hubei Edong Expressway. Hot Congee can drive away the cold and warm journey. A bowl of steaming Congee, a sincere concern and a simple greeting make every passing driver and passenger feel the warmth of home in the cold winter. With the improvement of living standards and the increasing popularity of cars, highways have become the main battlefield for the Spring Festival travel. "It is expected that the passenger flow of self driving during this year's Spring Festival travel will exceed 7.2 billion, accounting for more than 80%." Li Yang, Deputy Leader of the Comprehensive Transportation Spring Festival Travel Work Team and Deputy Minister of Transport, introduced that the daily average traffic volume of the road network will reach 37.2 million vehicles, an increase of 7.5% compared to the same period last year. It is expected that the peak will occur on February 17th (the eighth day of the first lunar month), and the peak of the highway will reach 65.2 million vehicles, which is about 1.75 times the average traffic flow of the road network during the Spring Festival travel period. Among them, the peak passenger flow will reach 62.7 million vehicles. During the 2024 Spring Festival travel rush, long-distance inter provincial travel will significantly increase, and the road network traffic will continue to be saturated, especially during the two peak periods of returning home before and after the holiday, which will bear enormous pressure. In response to this, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security have jointly proposed eight measures to ensure road travel during major holidays, including strengthening the guidance of congested road sections, improving the capacity of toll booths, and optimizing obstacle clearance and rescue. Various regions should conduct advance inspections of the facilities and equipment of toll stations on highways, strengthen the maintenance of networked toll systems, ensure that all toll lanes operate normally, and reasonably open according to changes in traffic volume. The ETC lane and mixed toll lane configurations should be scientifically set up to improve the efficiency of toll station traffic. Strengthen the operation and management of highway service areas in various regions, supervise the management of parking, refueling, charging and other services, and strictly prevent safety hazards caused by parking chaos, queue congestion and backflow on the main road. Explore the implementation of fast service measures in service areas, while meeting basic needs, appropriately adding mobile toilets and charging facilities in high flow service areas, arranging dedicated personnel to guide vehicles to park, charge and refuel, exploring the implementation of quantitative charging, reducing congestion and queuing, and improving the transfer efficiency and turnover capacity of service areas. Increase the supply of catering and goods in service areas, explore the introduction of high-quality and chain catering brands, and ensure business success
