Thousands of people have thousands of journeys, and science and technology warm every way home
According to the latest data from the Ministry of Transport, it is expected that the cross-regional flow of people will reach 9 billion during the Spring Festival this year, a record high, of which about 7.2 billion passengers will travel by car, and about 1.8 billion will be commercial passengers by railway, highway, water transport and civil aviation. Behind the figures is a huge and more diverse demand for Spring Festival travel: the proportion of self-driving travel will hit a record high, the proportion of new energy vehicles will increase significantly, and inter-city travel needs to be connected and combined......
"The Spring Festival transportation work is connected with the people's will and public opinion, and is related to social harmony, the Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to it, and all sectors of society pay attention to it, which is an important livelihood project and political task, and it is also an annual 'big test' to test the safety production level and transportation service capacity of the transportation system. Geng Jinjun, a second-level inspector of the Transportation Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, said.
The 2024 "Warm Way Home" service plan is a comprehensive travel service matrix created in response to the new situation of the Spring Festival, aiming to meet the diversified, personalized travel needs based on digital innovation, and pay more attention to the details of various travel experiences, so as to create a safe, convenient and warm Spring Festival for users.
For example, with the increasing number of new energy vehicles, users' worries about the power during long-distance driving have also become a hot topic. The "2024 Warm Way Home" includes "the world's first new energy navigation with self-learning ability", which can calculate power consumption based on multi-dimensional dynamic factors such as slope, temperature, air conditioning, traffic conditions, and vehicle models of the route, and combined with AutoNavi's newly upgraded "Charging Map 2.0", it provides refined travel routes, charging timing planning, and minute-level waiting time estimation in real time, so that new energy vehicle owners can have a good idea of energy consumption at any time and greatly alleviate "power anxiety".

For users who choose public travel, AutoNavi provides "door-to-door" cross-city bus services including buses, subways, trains, planes, walking, taxis and other travel modes, which can not only intelligently recommend routes and purchase tickets with one click according to multiple factors such as duration, cost, transfer situation, walking distance, etc., but also take into account the details such as the transfer distance and duration within the user's station and the recommended departure time, and carry out "one-click" planning, which truly saves time, worry and effort for intercity long-distance travel.

In addition, the "2024 Warm Way Home" service plan also focuses on upgrading the blind spot car warning service, which realizes the early warning of incoming vehicles in blind spots based on Beidou, a space-time infrastructure with independent intellectual property rights, such as mountain curves and unlit intersections, and greatly reduces the risk coefficient. In addition, there are services such as AutoNavi safety rescue, intelligent traffic light countdown, lane-level traffic incident warning, taxi safety bodyguard, etc., which always remind users in various forms that "safety" is always the first priority of travel.

For a wider range of people and scenarios, the "2024 Warm Way Home" service plan also provides a series of services to provide protection for the return journey. For example, lane-level navigation, intelligent traffic light countdown, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao integrated navigation and other services based on Beidou's global positioning capabilities make navigation guidance on the way home more intelligent and accurate;
All parties work together to build a digital standard for the Spring Festival
According to reports, behind the "2024 Warm Way Home" service plan, AutoNavi Map has focused on the technology accumulation and innovation of travel services for more than 20 years, adheres to the aggregation model, opens up core capabilities such as map navigation, technical services, and platform traffic, and continues to cooperate deeply with government agencies and industry partners who are deeply involved in the transportation industry.
"On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2018, AutoNavi Map proposed the 'Warm Way Home' service plan for the first time - 'Use technology services to make the road home warmer and escort every returnee', and this road has been going for 7 years. Wang Guixin introduced that by 2024, AutoNavi Map has upgraded its mission, and the "Warm Way Home" has evolved to not only meet the diverse and personalized travel needs of users, but also help optimize and upgrade transportation infrastructure, improve the management and service capabilities of relevant partners, and make users' journey home more worry-free and smoother.
For example, in this year's plan, AutoNavi Map has reached cooperation with thousands of traffic management departments across the country to release authoritative travel information in real time during the Spring Festival to ensure the safe travel of the public.
In order to better cope with the peak period of Spring Festival travel, AutoNavi Map also released the "2024 Spring Festival Travel Forecast Report" in conjunction with the Road Network Monitoring and Emergency Response Center of the Ministry of Transport, which is expected to be the peak of national high-speed travel before the Spring Festival on February 3, and the return peak will be February 17, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, and the Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl River Delta region are the busiest during this year's Spring Festival.
In addition, in this year's plan, AutoNavi also cooperates with taxi associations, taxi patrol network integration platforms, and online car-hailing platforms in more than 200 cities across the country, such as China Taxi and Car Rental Association, Beijing Taxi and Car Rental Association, Volkswagen Taxi, and Cathay Taxi. AutoNavi also cooperates with various transportation hubs and stations to recommend passengers to choose the officially designated pick-up point, and guides passengers to arrive at the pick-up point faster and more accurately through real-life pictures, AR navigation and other functions, so as to improve the efficiency of passenger guidance.

"Serving the Spring Festival and guarding every way home for everyone is not only a test of AutoNavi's own service ability, but also our unshirkable social responsibility. Wang Guixin said that in the future, AutoNavi will also work with the government and industry partners to strive to do a good job in the digital standard of user travel, and better help the construction of a "transportation power".
