Walking into the traffic field command center of the Expo command center located in the center of Hongqiao World, a 100-day countdown schedule on the wall is eye-catching, and the schedule marks the content that needs to be completed every 10 days of the on-site command in the countdown to the Import Expo, and the project content involves road reconstruction, parking lot construction, bus route coordination, traffic information access, emergency plan formulation, drills and other aspects. In the small room, more than twenty people in the seats were busy.
Most of them are "elders" who have participated in traffic security for five consecutive terms, but whenever the new CIIE officially enters the preparation for launch, everyone is like a new person, and they dare not slack off at all, hoping to find the best golden coordinates of the traffic security program in the change and unchanged.
There are still 10 days before the opening of the fifth CIIE, and the on-site command has begun to operate at high speed as early as August 15 until the day when the event is successfully concluded.
Participating in the guarantee for five consecutive years is a rare experience
Xie Enyi feels that she is lucky, working for 7 years after graduating from graduate school and participating in the Expo for 5 consecutive years. "It's an experience, not everyone has such a good opportunity, just after graduation to participate in such a large event in a row."
As a member of the comprehensive research and judgment team of the headquarters, Xie Enyi and the colleagues of the comprehensive research and judgment team are one of the earliest personnel to participate in the protection of the Expo. At the beginning of the year, they need to formulate a preliminary overall plan for the protection of the Expo according to the experience of the past years and the actual situation of the year, and then decompose and implement and continuously improve.
"Compared with previous CIIE, although the overall plan and layout have not changed much this year, we still hope to show more highlights in details." Xie Enyi told reporters that the visitor flow of the Expo over the years shows that the passenger flow entering from the west side of the National Convention and Exhibition Center is significantly higher than the passenger flow entering from the east side, which is very unbalanced, which is not conducive to the protection of safety and epidemic prevention and the order of the exhibition, "The main reason is that most of the traffic endpoints such as subways and parking lots are on the west side of the exhibition hall." ”

Based on this characteristic, the balance of passenger flow in the east and west is as much as possible in the formulation of guarantee plans. To this end, this year, the relevant working group combined with the optimization of the bus line network, increased the access of public transportation on the east side of the exhibition hall, and added the extension of bus No. 121. It is reported that the 121 extension line connects Metro Line 2 and Line 13 at the same time, passing through more than 20 hotels and hotels, providing a public transportation plan for visitors to enter the museum from the east side.
"At present, the main work is to connect and coordinate with various support units, and once the Expo opens, timely information transmission and comprehensive research and judgment will be made." Xie Enyi said that during each CIIE, the comprehensive research and judgment team needs to make statistics on the comprehensive data from 8 am to 8 pm every day and form a "hourly broadcast" to report, and issue a comprehensive research and judgment report every day to put forward forward-looking suggestions for the next day's traffic security.
Coordinate communication to find the best implementation
Ma Fei, head of the transportation support team of the on-site command center of the Expo command center, rarely saw a smile on his face, perhaps because of the professional habits he had developed in transportation management positions for a long time. The connection of yards, stations, cars, and people connects every link of the passenger transport organization, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Compared with the first CIIE, we have more experience, but the surrounding environment of the National Convention and Exhibition Center changes every year, and we need to go to the field to inspect, coordinate and communicate, and come up with practical, convenient and efficient solutions in the preparation stage." Ma Fei said frankly that this year, the surrounding environment of the National Convention and Exhibition Center has undergone great changes, and it has encountered difficulties in determining functional parking lot resources, "If the parking resources cannot be determined, our connection lines and taxi guarantees cannot be discussed." ”
In the early stage, under the leadership of the headquarters, the transportation support team conducted many consultations and communication with relevant departments and territories, and finally 20 temporary parking lots were implemented. Among them, P1 parking lot continues to be used for connection lines and other guaranteed parking; The P15 parking lot is the closest to the venue, and vehicles can stop and go; Vehicles transporting materials to the Expo will be parked in the P24 parking lot; As a secondary parking lot for taxis, P20 parking lot will allocate vehicles in time according to the use of vehicles in P6 taxi parking lots...
"At present, according to the plan, we require relevant units to train support personnel, such as informing each driver of the taxi entry and exit route map in the parking lot, and only by preparing in advance can it be orderly." Ma Fei said.
Continuously optimize the program for a goal
"There's never a perfect solution, but we need to build a plan that can't be broken through in an emergency. Therefore, try to think through it beforehand to see what else can be optimized. As soon as Cai Jingyan, deputy commander and dispatcher chief of the traffic support site command of the Expo, walked into the office, he immediately convened the heads of various support groups to start discussing new issues. In everyone's eyes, he will always be like that, just like when he first saw him five years ago.

Cai Jingyan told reporters that compared with the previous four CIIE, this year's command system will be more accurate due to the help of science and technology. The traffic command platform integrates Maas 1.0 to collect the travel mode data of the audience and provide scientific data support for future comprehensive traffic judgment. At the same time, the style and layout of the software page have also been optimized, enhancing the functions of data aggregation and summary, fusion processing, comparative analysis, trend prediction, etc., and strengthening data support and auxiliary decision-making for traffic support. The pilot video intelligent application scenario of the parking lot automatically presents the cumulative total number of taxis, hourly entry and exit, and total passenger flow on the command platform through the background calculation of camera images, so as to improve data analysis and traffic management efficiency.
The countdown has entered the final stage, and in the various project schedules, the focus of the work of the command has become "checking and filling gaps". In response to the sudden epidemic, large passenger flow and other situations, through the real scene and actual combat drills of key links, the measures of the traffic guarantee emergency plan of the Expo were tested, and the emergency linkage handling ability was tested.
