CCTV.com News: The number of passengers sent by railways across the country during the Spring Festival travel rush is expected to exceed 510 million, with an average daily number of 12.75 million, an increase of 5.5% year-on-year compared with the 2024 Spring Festival travel rush. Since the Spring Festival tickets were released on December 31 last year, as of 16:00 on January 12, a total of 75.74 million tickets have been issued. While the railway department is increasing its transportation capacity, the use of a batch of smart devices is also ensuring that passengers can go home safely and comfortably for the New Year.
The driving guide that is sending driving reminders looks like an ordinary tablet computer, and it has great wisdom. In addition to summarizing and reminding the train from the beginning to the end, it can also combine the train temporarily added and passenger flow distribution and other situations of the Spring Festival travel rush, using a big data platform to sort out the safety tips for drivers in advance.
Kong Xiangpai, the driver of the Jinan Locomotive Depot of the National Railway Jinan Bureau, introduced that the tablet computer of each train gives him professional and meticulous planning guidance, especially when entering and leaving the station, there are more cross-operations and complex operations. Its reminder can give the driver time for full analysis and judgment, and add another guarantee for the driver's smooth operation and safe driving.
The section of the Zhenjiang Pass to Huangsheng Pass of Sichuan-Qingqing Railway has been put into the Spring Festival travel rush for the first time this year, and a high-speed train departs in less than half an hour on average every day. In the high-altitude and cold areas of the plateau, turnouts will freeze when they encounter rain and snow. These smart turnout snow melting devices along the route are like sticking "warm babies" on the turnout. Through the remote control terminals of the dispatching center and the station, real-time monitoring and automatic heating can be monitored and automatically.
Cheng Xin, secretary of the Party Branch of Maoxian Signal Workshop, Chengdu Electrical Affairs Section of Chengdu Railway Chengdu Bureau, said that once the rail temperature is detected to be low, the station remote control terminal will start the electric heating element, heat the rail temperature to 80 degrees Celsius within ten minutes, and heat the switch equipment at a fixed point positioning and heating. It greatly improves efficiency and ensures train passage compared with the traditional manual snow sweeping and de-icing in the past.
The smoothness of the line is directly related to the safety of the train operation. On the Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway Line, this "little yellow car" can emit ultrasonic waves to detect rails. Through the big data calculations of the host system and computers on the car, the detector can accurately find out the health problems of the rails through the analysis of the waveform.
Yang Wei, foreman of the flaw detection work area of the Wuhan High-speed Railway Bureau Wuhan Bureau, introduced that before, they had to take tens of thousands of steps a day, stop and bend over for thousands of times to test, and 5 people could only complete the flaw detection task of 11 kilometers in 4 hours. Now, 4 people can complete the 45-kilometer flaw detection task in 4 hours, with the flaw detection accuracy reaching 100%.
After completing the task, a train of EMUsing the EMU inspection warehouse will have to return to the EMU inspection warehouse for "physical examination". During this year's Spring Festival travel rush, the maintenance robots of the Zhengzhou EMU section have become everyone's good "helpers". It can penetrate into places that cannot be seen by the human eye, enabling rapid scanning of close-range and real-time images from multiple angles. Each frame of the screen will be saved by the server. During each maintenance operation, the server will automatically retrieve the previous "physical examination screen", focusing on checking the risk points to ensure that all hidden dangers are eliminated.
At present, the railway department has strengthened patrol and maintenance of key driving equipment and facilities such as railway contact networks, switches, rolling stocks, communication signals, etc. in advance to ensure the safe and smooth railway artery during the Spring Festival travel rush.
