Wisdom is on the front line, this' small transformation 'safeguards high-speed safety

Now both railings can be lifted at the same time, and there's no need to manually operate the remote control anymore. It's really convenient

Effectively protecting the safety of pedestrians, that's great

At the entrance of Xiaogan East Management Office, on the ultra wide lane, the left and right double railing machines are like a pair of powerful arms waving up and down at the same time, orderly bidding farewell to the departing vehicles.

The 'minor renovation' is related to the well-being of the people

The total length of the road section under the jurisdiction of Jingzhu Operation Company is about 697 kilometers, with a total of 45 toll stations. Each toll station includes two ultra wide lanes, one in and one out. The existing ultra wide lane is 4.8 meters wide, and the crossing railing arm is 3.1 meters long, which cannot fully exert its blocking effect, resulting in pedestrians and motorcycles taking advantage of this gap to mistakenly enter the highway, posing a certain safety hazard.

In order to plug this "security loophole" at the source, the Beijing Zhuhai operation company has implemented classified measures and step-by-step promotion. Based on the daily number of ultra wide vehicles passing through the ultra wide lane, two measures have been taken to strengthen on-site control: physical isolation of the ultra wide lane and the transformation of the double railing machine. However, the added railing machine in the later stage is not connected to the existing industrial control computer in the toll lane. When encountering vehicles with wider body, the on duty toll collector has to manually lift the pole with a remote control, greatly reducing work efficiency. At the same time, it is also easy to scrape past vehicles, bringing extremely bad driving experience to passing drivers and passengers.

To effectively solve this problem, Xiaogan East Management Institute is based on reality, fully utilizes subjective initiative, takes solving practical problems as the starting point, encourages employees to use "brainstorming" to come up with solutions and clever ideas in details, and strives to create a "safe, smooth, and orderly" traffic environment.

'Golden Ideas' Innovation Shows Wisdom

During the renovation process, the Xiaogan East Institute Electromechanical Renovation Team fully considered the arrangement characteristics of the lane railing machine lines. After repeated experiments, they connected the controllers of the two railing machines in series through a waste power line, achieving the dual railing machines to "fight side by side". The renovated new and old dual railing machine arms can rise and fall synchronously with a response speed of less than 0.5 seconds. At the same time, in emergency situations, the original remote control is used to manually control the rise and fall of the toll barrier, forming a two-way intervention of "automatic+manual", ensuring that the toll barrier "one car, one pole" is foolproof, greatly improving lane traffic efficiency.

These "golden ideas" for solving problems effectively demonstrate the "wisdom" at the grassroots level and the "strength" on the front line. Xiaogan East Management Office will conduct a public opinion survey on the use of the "small renovation" of the double railing machine in the later stage, collect the advantages and disadvantages in practical application, and make adjustments and improvements one by one to ensure that the "small renovation" can meet the practicality and stability in various working conditions.

It is reported that the Beijing Zhuhai Operation Company's super wide lane double railing machine renovation project will be piloted and installed at 10 stations along the line. Later, the renovation will be gradually implemented along the line based on the traffic flow of the super wide lane and the actual situation. The "small renovation" of the double railing machine at Xiaogan East Management Office will provide valuable reference for the later mechanical and electrical renovation.
