The masses are traveling hot, and the cars are busy across the sea. This year's National Day holiday is the first long holiday ushered in after the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, during the holiday 7 seats and below small passenger cars are free of charge, the traffic flow increases, and the work of ensuring safety and smoothness ushers in the first "big test". Guangdong Communications Group revealed that the traffic volume of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor reached a new high since its opening on October 1, with a daily traffic volume of 155,000 vehicles, an increase of 56.27% month-on-month.
"Since 3 p.m. on September 30, the westbound traffic flow of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has gradually increased, and the underwater interchange and undersea tunnel section connecting with the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Yanjiang Expressway on the Shenzhen side have slowed down." Xu Xianwei, deputy director of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor Road Network Dispatching Center, said that the enthusiasm of the masses for travel was high during the holiday, and the main passages across the Pearl River Estuary were full of traffic. At present, the traffic flow is still at a high level, mainly concentrated in the westbound tunnel section to Zhongshan, and the eastbound traffic in the direction of Shenzhen has also increased significantly compared with normal days. It is predicted that there will be a peak of return trips on October 5 and 6, and the traffic flow will be concentrated in the eastbound direction of Shenzhen, from the Wanqingsha Interchange to the middle section of the undersea tunnel.
Multi-party linkage to ensure traffic order
Since the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan channel, the road administration department has established a multi-party joint logistics linkage mechanism with the traffic police in Shenzhen and Zhongshan, and the adjacent road sections, and set up a number of standby points on the east and west artificial islands and Zhongshan Ma'an Island. "We have implemented the 'stationed + patrol' dual cycle mode with the rescue unit, and set up 8 emergency stationing points across the line, which are linked in a counterclockwise manner to achieve efficient accident handling and quick support." Ye Xiangcai, deputy captain of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Passage Road Administration Brigade, said, "On the basis of ensuring safety and smoothness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have further optimized measures and implemented 'one blockage point and one plan' for easy blockage points." It is understood that during the National Day holiday, more than 170 road administration, monitoring, rescue and maintenance personnel, nearly 100 special operation vehicles, and more than 100 people were also invested in the traffic police departments of Shenzhen and Zhongshan.
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is the world's first extra-long two-way eight-lane undersea tunnel, underwater hub interchange, and extra-long offshore bridge combination project, which is difficult to operate and manage, and has high safety risks. It is understood that in order to cope with the huge traffic flow during the holiday, the traffic police department will take measures such as remote diversion, drip release, proximal optimization of lanes, alternate traffic and other measures depending on the traffic flow to reduce the probability of accidents, ensure the smooth flow of bridges and tunnels, and quickly rescue and deal with traffic accidents in case of traffic accidents. "In view of the changes in traffic flow and drivers' driving habits, we use the digital twin platform to simulate, analyze and judge the points and factors that affect the traffic efficiency, reasonably shorten the solid line distance in the tunnel, optimize the signs and signage, and further improve the overall traffic efficiency in the tunnel." Xu Xianwei said.
"During peak traffic hours, we also use drones to conduct automatic inspections, and the inspection screen information is synchronously reflected to the monitoring road network dispatching center, which can quickly find abnormalities and quickly locate them, and can also guide the scene through drones equipped with loudspeakers." Ye Xiangcai introduced that there are 4 sets of UAV automatic take-off and landing cruise equipment on the whole line of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, which can realize the automatic air inspection of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, Zhongshan Bridge, and Cuihengdong Interchange. "If the driver encounters temporary control, please be calm. A momentary slow drive is to get there better. Please make travel plans and try to travel off-peak. ”
Please keep this travel safety tip in place
It is understood that after the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, the cross-city buses of Shenzhen and Zhongshan are widely popular, and the density of other passenger vehicles passing through the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel is also larger, with an average of about 1,800 buses passing through the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel every day. In order to ensure the safety of passengers, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, the traffic police and the transportation department have jointly established a passenger transfer mechanism for faulty buses to carry out emergency transfer and evacuation of passengers stranded for any reason. Xu Xianwei said: "We call on all passenger transport companies to strengthen the maintenance of vehicles and safety inspections before leaving the car, eliminate hidden dangers in a timely manner, and reduce the incidence of failures on the road." This plays an extremely important role in ensuring the safety of passengers and the smooth flow of roads. ”
