Just saw a news, Beijing netizens suggested that the highway holidays are free to change to 3,000 kilometers per car per year free. Curiously, the Ministry of Communications has even responded to the eight times; some experts say that it is the method introduced by the state to promote tourism, or whether experts dare to think and dare to say it.
This is actually a typical idea without deep thinking, and the free passage on holidays is not given to you by anyone, it is a last resort. Because everyone has to travel on holidays, many highway entrances and exits are blocked, resulting in the de facto paralysis of the highway, so it has to be introduced along the water to introduce a holiday free method to avoid the complete paralysis of the highway.
If 9 years ago, before this policy was introduced, you had a deep experience of walking on the highway on holidays, and it may take you a few hours to get out of the highway when you reach the destination, what is the reason for this?
Holiday travel is just needed, whether it is free or not, the walk will go, but the toll station this node leads to a great reduction in traffic efficiency, usually the performance may not be very obvious, the holiday traffic increase in most toll stations appears, do not give up the charge everyone can not go, or can not get off the highway, this is the real key to the problem. If there is no toll station, how wide the highway should be, do you see if the highway is still congested? Therefore, the real key to solving the problem is to remove all toll stations and use electronic facilities on the node to automatically obtain vehicle traffic information and automatically deduct tolls.
It seems that Australia is like this, once the self-driving walked thousands of kilometers, basically did not see any toll booths, all the way unimpeded, that is, the kangaroos that were killed along the way abounded, shocking. Just come back for many days, the credit card is still from time to time to send a charged text message, read the description to know that it is a highway toll, I also thought that australian highways are free of charge, white happy.
One could argue that automatic deductions will make cars that use license plates profitable. On the contrary, the phenomenon of fraudulent use of license plates may now be very common, but the vast majority of them cannot be detected at all, so that lawbreakers have an opportunity. Once the automatic deduction is implemented, you can immediately find that your license plate has been taken, and then immediately call the police, can you not catch a square? Therefore, this method may actually eliminate the phenomenon of counterfeiting.
In fact, the reply of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport has explained this reason, but it is a bit obscure, not like I directly pointed out, "The main purpose of China's introduction and implementation of the policy of exempting small passenger cars from tolls on major holidays is to alleviate the congestion of highway toll stations during major holidays and facilitate public travel." ”
The man who proposed this method was a genius who found a solution from an unexpected perspective, but he was certainly not an expert, but probably a staff member or a traffic policeman; the person who could come up with this method was definitely a warrior, because he had to face interests and pressures that you absolutely could not imagine.
But now, this problem needs to be solved by geniuses and warriors, because with the surge in vehicle ownership, the existing solution has obviously failed, and there are two reasons for the congestion of toll booths: the barrier makes the vehicle stop, and the narrow road slows the vehicle. Holiday free passage only solves the problem of releasing without lifting the pole, does not solve the problem of passing without deceleration, if all toll stations are removed, there are no nodes that must be decelerated, and the traffic efficiency will be increased by at least several times. For example, like the Jincheng Lake toll station on the Chengdu Ring Road, once it is revoked, the congestion problem of Jiannan Avenue, which has been tossed for several years, may be solved immediately.
The genius solution has arrived, where is the Warrior?
