Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 23 (Reporter Huang Yao) Recently, the China Meteorological Administration and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Provincial Severe Weather High Impact Road Section Optimization and Improvement of Meteorological Support Work Plan", which will be used in 108 severe weather high impact road sections across the country. Comprehensive promotion.
The dense fog and icy roads that have troubled everyone for a long time have now been accurately warned, and traffic safety has been more guaranteed.
For a long time, dense fog and icy roads have caught drivers off guard, which can affect the speed of vehicles at light level, and threaten traffic safety at worst.
In the future, when you are driving on the highway, your mobile phone may receive an early warning message like this: "There is a local thick fog on the road 3 kilometers ahead, and the visibility is less than 100 meters. Please drive carefully!"
Xue Jianjun, deputy director of the Emergency Disaster Mitigation and Public Service Department of the China Meteorological Administration, said that in addition to informing ahead of time meteorological information such as localized dense fog on the road ahead, early warning information and road prompts will also remind drivers and passengers to turn on the lights correctly and limit the speed. 60 kilometers per hour and maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle in front.
At the same time as early warning, the high-speed traffic police and road administration departments will also increase the patrol density on the affected road sections to assist in dredging the traffic flow; before the dangerous road sections, warning signs such as speed limit, prohibition of overtaking, prohibition of parking, and maintaining a safe distance will also be in place.
"The new early warning method can provide timely and reliable bad weather information and location, support the public security traffic control department to accurately control in advance, warn drivers and passengers to reduce speed and control distance, etc., under the premise of ensuring safety, reduce road closures and ensure smooth traffic, allowing everyone to travel A little more predictability and a sense of security." Li Yingwei, director of the Traffic Emergency and Security Guidance Division of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said, "This is a new starting point for early warning and escort safe travel, and will continue to be optimized in actual work."
According to the plan, the provincial meteorological and public security traffic management departments will jointly investigate and determine the risk level of dense fog and road icing disasters in road sections, draw disaster risk maps, and put forward optimization suggestions based on the layout of the existing highway traffic meteorological observation station network.
At the same time, an integrated traffic meteorological service technical scheme from observation, forecast and early warning to emergency response will be established to guide local meteorological and public security traffic control departments to realize the localized application of key technologies for monitoring and early warning of dense fog and road icing.
"This year's 108 roads are only the first batch of optimized and upgraded road sections, and will be expanded and extended according to the actual situation in various places." Xue Jianjun said that after the plan is implemented, high-speed drivers and passengers can use a variety of navigation software, high-speed electronic display, Receive early warning information through intelligent speed limit intelligence boards, sound and light warnings, etc.
