CCTV News: The Spring Festival travel rush has begun, and the busy transportation lines allow people to feel the vitality and vitality of mobile China. Behind the accelerated flow of people and goods is a smarter transportation network year after year. At the beginning of the Spring Festival travel rush, let us follow the reporter's camera and see the technological style of the Spring Festival travel rush in various places.

In the 2025 Spring Festival travel rush, nearly 9 billion people are expected to move across regions, with highways, national highways and rural roads intertwining into people's way home. In Zhejiang, there is a smart expressway - G92 Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway. Every day, nearly 270,000 cars pass through the road; every minute, more than 120 cars pass through the ETC entrance and exit. Faced with the Spring Festival travel exam, this road has its own "exclusive secret".

Whenever a vehicle illegally parks, breaks down, congestion occurs on the expressway, the unmanned will automatically and immediately arrive at the accident point. Hover warning calls, and night lighting and other services are provided.

Not only that, on this road, there are not only a large number of sensing equipment arranged, but also cloud toll stations and tidal intelligent robots cooperate with each other, and the traffic efficiency is significantly improved.

Real-time temperature measurement of ice and snow roads, technology helps to return home safely

In addition, during the Spring Festival travel rush, many mountain roads also face the challenge of rain, snow and freezing. In Shaanxi, Xizha Expressway is an important north-south channel in the province, and snow and freeze on the roads in winter.

During the Spring Festival travel rush, a batch of ice condensation warning systems on Xizha Expressway were fully put into use. A terminal can monitor the road surface temperature in real time.

This year's Spring Festival travel rush, the Ministry of Transport strengthened cross-regional and cross-field data sharing and business collaboration, and significantly improved the efficiency of emergency response. On the high-speed intelligence board, the latest road conditions information is updated continuously; in the service areas, charging robots relieve energy replenishment anxiety; with enough technology, the road home is faster and smoother.

Song Jie, deputy director of the Travel Service Department of the Road Network Monitoring and Emergency Response Center of the Ministry of Transport, said that during the Spring Festival travel rush, the road network had obvious characteristics of super large traffic, with the average daily flow of highways nationwide of about 38.5 million, and new energy vehicles continued to grow. The transportation department has established a scheduling and guarantee mechanism for busy highway charging service areas during major holidays to maximize the need for energy replenishment of new energy vehicles for high-speed travel.

Drone delivery accessories, charging and hydrating equipment is fully "water Spring Festival travel" convenient and efficient

In addition to people enjoying their journey, during the Spring Festival travel period, technological support is indispensable behind the flow of goods. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, known as the "golden waterway", is now ushering in a peak in transportation. How convenient and efficient is the water Spring Festival travel rush?

On the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Huai'an ship lock is a must-pass place for traveling south and north, and stopping here is a choice for many ships passing by. This year, the use of smart devices has made the water Spring Festival travel more convenient and efficient. Charging and water replenishing piles are discharged in the water service area to continuously supply energy to ships.

The 404-kilometer northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal spans four cities, 14 counties (districts) including Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, etc. There are 10 shipping steps and 28 large ship locks along the way. In the past, the entire line of ship locks operated and dispatched. This year's Spring Festival travel rush, the new version of "Ship Communication" covering the entire line was officially put into use. On this port and shipping Runyang 6091 cargo ship, the owner He Zhaojun was calmly waiting for the gate. After pulling this goods, he went home for the New Year.

This year's Spring Festival travel rush, the daily pass through volume of ships in the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is expected to reach 5 million tons. The new "full-intelligent" gate pass through the locks allows ships to achieve one-click smooth travel of 28 locks!

Feng Yu, deputy director of Huai'an Ship Lock Management Office of Huai'an Navigation Center, introduced that when all ships enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal for the first time, all data must be recorded in the system, including the length and width of the ship. Ships are intelligently dispatched by this system to maximize (improve) the utilization rate of the lock chamber and ensure that the ship passes through the lock quickly and easily.

Drone transfer materials to improve railway inspection efficiency

During the Spring Festival travel rush, many railways are also stepping up inspection and construction. The Nankun Railway spans three provinces and regions, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and is a new western land-sea channel connecting the southwest inland and coastal areas. The railway crosses the rolling mountains, and the construction and transportation of materials on the mountain is a big problem. In order to promote the project smoothly, the construction workers used drones.

Traditional railway transportation methods rely on traditional construction methods such as people carrying horse garlands, and there are great safety risks to go up the mountain. The Baise Industrial Section of Nanning Bureau Group Corporation introduced drone aerial survey technology and opened up drone air transportation channels. Sand and gravel with a load of 50 kilograms will be delivered from the foot of the mountain and will be delivered to the top of the mountain in 5 minutes. After the drone was commissioned, the materials used for maintenance were hoisted and taken off slowly.

In addition to using drones to transport materials, they also use drones and underwater drones to inspect and deal with high steep slopes, dangerous rock falling rocks, drainage equipment, etc. in the pipes.

The homework is over, it is already three o'clock in the afternoon. Deng Junyu and his colleagues completed the 5-ton material transportation task. On the way home from the Spring Festival travel rush, drones assist railway workers to ensure the safety and smooth roads and the safe return of passengers.
