In the next two years, at Guangzhou's bus station, you can get information on when the waiting bus arrives through the station's electronic screen; just one call, the taxi will be accurate within five minutes. Stop at your side; if there are accidents happening on the way, you will also get the fastest rescue assistance... All this will be achieved with the comprehensive construction of the Guangzhou Public Transit GPS satellite positioning system.
Recently, the reporter learned from the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Commission that by 2005, within the scope of Guangzhou City, all smart buses will be installed on buses, buses will be fully dispatched intelligently, and bus stops and bus stops will be equipped with electronic stop signs. Public transport information is published so that the bus can be equipped with a smart brain.
According to reports, there are currently 16 bus companies in Guangzhou, more than 7,000 buses, more than 320 bus lines, and a daily passenger flow of 5 million passengers; 108 rental companies and 16,025 taxis, with a daily passenger flow of 600,000 passengers.
Xie Zhendong, deputy director of the Technology Management Office of the Guangzhou Municipal Communications Committee, told reporters that transportation has long relied on manual scheduling, and it has been difficult to achieve scientific management for vehicle deployment, and the level of public transport information is low. With the economic development and social progress, people’s pace of life has been accelerating, and increasingly attention has been paid to time and efficiency. The contradiction in the unreasonable allocation of transportation resources in the transportation industry has become increasingly prominent. First, there is a lack of scientific and rational management methods in the industry management; The quality of enterprises varies, and some companies lack the necessary hardware and software. The operational and scale benefits of the transportation industry cannot be realized. Third, there is a lack of supervision and control measures for drivers.
The establishment of a bus GPS project information release and organization and dispatch system will effectively improve the efficiency of public transport through information technology and provide a convenient, economical, and high-volume public system in order to achieve efficient use of urban land space resources and energy.
The Guangzhou municipal government will use the World Bank loan to implement the “Guangzhou downtown traffic project†including the bus GPS project. At present, some public transport units in Guangzhou have already raised funds by themselves to carry out construction project trials using GPS to organize and dispatch. Taking Kangwang Road as a pilot, the public transportation monitoring and dispatching of this road and the construction and implementation of the electronic stop sign display system have been completed. Real-time monitoring of vehicles running on bus lines.
At the same time, the Guangzhou Communications Commission also applied the GPS system to the monitoring of dangerous goods transport vehicles. It is understood that there are 82 state-owned transport companies in Guangzhou and 1810 vehicles in crisis transportation, including 698 tanker trucks. Dangerous transport vehicles are more difficult to supervise. Once a dangerous situation arises, the timeliness and effectiveness of remedial measures are limited.
To this end, the Guangzhou Municipal Communications Commission plans to start using GPS satellite positioning systems on some of the dangerous vehicles as pilots starting in April this year, and will strive to complete the installation and use of GPS in all dangerous road transport tankers by the end of June 2005.
