With the great development of The New Lingang Area, the freight demand of Yangshan Deepwater Port has developed rapidly, and the traffic flow of the southeast ring of G1503 (Shanghai Suburban Ring) has also risen rapidly, especially from Wednesday to Friday, when the port schedule is concentrated, large container trucks are piled up. With this high-speed traffic congestion, there are more traffic violations such as fatigue driving, illegal lane changes, and even various traffic accidents. How should I go to the collection card to the port? How do collectors choose time to avoid congestion and prevent fatigue driving?
· Traffic is increasing day by day, and various accidents are frequent
The southeast ring of the G1503 expressway has a total length of 50.7 kilometers, the western section is in Fengxian territory, two-way 4 lanes plus emergency stop belts on both sides, and the eastern section is in Pudong territory, with two-way 6 lanes plus emergency parking lanes on both sides. The Southeast Ring Road is an important passageway connecting Fengxian and Lingang New Area, so freight cars account for about 50% of the average daily traffic. Since the establishment of the Lingang New Area in 2019, Yangshan Deepwater Port has developed rapidly, and the traffic of the southeast ring of G1503 has risen rapidly, especially from Wednesday to Friday, the port schedule is concentrated, and the traffic during this time is higher.
The proportion of large cars is high, the driving speed is slow, and some small passenger cars constantly change lanes between lanes, which increases safety hazards and often causes traffic accidents. At the same time, the southeast ring only has a stop in the Guangming service area, and there are only 13 parking spaces, insufficient storage, some truck drivers are often unwilling to spend more time queuing up to stop, willing to endure fatigue to continue driving, which also caused a lot of fatigue driving rear-end accidents.
Since May 2018, all container terminal companies in Shanghai Port have fully activated the "Shanghai Port Service Platform" APP as the only online channel for container road transport enterprises to apply for pick-up and unloading operations in the port area. Vehicles with a collection card that have not applied for an electronic equipment slip will not be able to enter the port area. Reservations are generally open 5 days before the opening of the container ship, and the collector can make an appointment more than 1 hour before the vehicle arrives at the wharf. Although this APP provides convenience to avoid the blind travel of trucks, in the case of concentrated arrival time of the ship schedule, the collection of truck vehicles is still concentrated in and out, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem of congestion.
· Staggered peaks to avoid congestion Travel Service center rest
In the face of the surge in traffic demand, G1503 can not be broadened in a short period of time, as a collection of truck drivers should how to travel, so as to reduce the congestion waiting time, reduce accident safety hazards? It is recommended that the truck drivers travel to make these two preparations: First, to stagger the peak travel, according to the ship schedule, by making an appointment on the APP, you can make an appointment 1 hour before the vehicle arrives at the dock, so that you can estimate the time and avoid blind waiting, thus causing fatigue driving. Secondly, before traveling, check the road conditions through various navigation software, choose the appropriate route, avoid congested road sections, and do not change lanes at will in case of congestion.
So what if you find vehicles lined up when you're about to arrive at the port? Parking spaces are limited in the Guangming Service Area and there is no place to rest. In 2020, a new card service center was built near Guangxiang Road near S2, and a directional ramp with direct access to the service center was added, and 710 parking spaces were available for large trucks. Moreover, the service center is fully equipped and functional, and in the case of concentrated shipping schedules and vehicles, truck drivers can rest and wait here. At present, the parking lot utilization rate is usually about 40%, about 80% during peak periods, and there are many vacant spaces for large trucks. Therefore, if you encounter a large number of cars, or if the time is not up, you can't enter the port for the time being, and the truck driver can go to this service center to rest. This is the only way to the pier, no detour is required, it is more convenient, after enough rest, then sail to the pier according to the schedule.
The first phase of S3 has been opened to traffic, and the second phase (Zhoudeng Highway - G1503) is currently under construction, and it is expected to open to traffic at the end of this year, which is expected to alleviate the traffic pressure of G1503 and S2. Moreover, the "Shanghai Port Service Platform" APP is also being optimized, and it is expected to achieve accurate appointments on the day and time.
