This year's Spring Festival travel rush, the "intelligent tidal robot" will be on duty at the Lubu Toll Station in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. These robots are powered by solar energy, and the toll collector can control the robot to move in a designated direction by pressing buttons, and lane switching can be achieved in just 2 minutes.
When the inlet flow at the toll station is significantly more than the exit, the robot moves to the exit side and expands the import lane from 3 to 4. It is understood that since the use of the "intelligent tidal robot", it has greatly alleviated the congestion at the entrance and exit of the Lubu toll stations at morning and evening peaks. Depending on the traffic flow on that day, the congestion time at morning and evening peaks can be shortened by 1-2 hours compared with the original, greatly improving the traffic efficiency of the Lubu toll stations.
Since the Spring Festival travel rush, the Ministry of Transport has focused on the development of new quality and productivity in transportation, adhered to innovation-driven development, empowered transportation development with scientific and technological innovation, and served to ensure the comprehensive transportation Spring Festival travel work.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Transport that the transportation departments in various parts of my country have strengthened the dynamic analysis and operation monitoring of large passenger flows during the Spring Festival travel rush, and strengthened comprehensive coordination and overall scheduling around information exchange, ticketing interconnection, and service connection, and continuously improved the level of comprehensive transportation services.
Especially for pain points and difficulties such as highway congestion, charging of new energy vehicles, and passenger transport of Qiongzhou Strait, we should focus on improving the level of service guarantee through scientific and technological innovation. For example, in the main channel of the national highway network and major national and provincial trunk lines, monitoring capabilities are improved through technologies such as big data and the Internet of Things, and congested sections and toll stations are dispatched in real time; the status of charging piles in the service area is monitored in real time, and dynamic releases are carried out on multiple platforms, and mobile charging robots are deployed in the service area, turning the past "people looking for piles" into "piles looking for people"; the Qiongzhou Strait is used for the first time to realize the situational awareness of traffic flows into islands, reasonably allocate transportation capacity, and achieve accurate matching of supply and demand.
According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Transport, new energy vehicles account for nearly 20% of the national highway traffic. During this year's Spring Festival travel rush, 35,000 charging piles were put into operation, and the coverage rate of highway service areas reached 98%. In order to alleviate the "energy replenishment anxiety" of new energy vehicle owners, the transportation department has accelerated the application of ultra-fast charging and high-power facilities, and fast charging facilities above 120kW are widely used in highway service areas across the country. Provinces with large new energy vehicles such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong have also built 600-800kW super charging stations to achieve "one second, one kilometer" of charging.
In Heilongjiang, the local area relies on video cloud to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted electronic patrols on toll roads, grasp information on road traffic, speed, road surface conditions and other information in real time, and detect abnormalities in a timely manner and warn them. Build three innovative drone application networks for high-speed patrol, emergency rescue and escort services, and analyze key scenario nodes of hover detection based on AI. When an emergency occurs, the drone calls function maintains on-site order, guides traffic, distributes supplies at a distance, and continues to light and warn high altitudes at night to quickly open up traffic jams. In extreme weather such as Blizzard, the "speed-pressing vehicle" and "open and ground flight" mode will be activated to escort the vehicle to safely pass.
Sichuan Province has developed a Shudao New Energy Charging and Swap Operation Management Platform to realize real-time monitoring of 81% of the charging piles in the province's highway service areas. AI image recognition technology can monitor the busy charging situation and faults and hidden dangers in real time, and improve the comprehensive scheduling level and troubleshooting efficiency.
Sichuan, Hunan, Xinjiang and other provinces and regions have also introduced mobile charging robots into service areas, adding flexible charging services to service areas where charging is busy, realizing the transformation from "people look for piles" to "pole look for people".
