When the cold wave hit, Qingpu Public Transport activated the emergency plan for severe weather, and took multiple measures to implement cold and frost prevention to ensure the safety and warmth of citizens.
In the bus parking lot, the maintenance technician carefully inspects the vehicle to ensure that the lights, wipers, braking system, tires, etc. are in good condition, and the antifreeze, engine oil, and transmission oil of the operating vehicle are measured, and the omissions are checked and filled, so as to ensure that the bus parts are good and running normally in the cold wave weather. In response to the cold wave and low temperature weather, the bus driver will warm up the vehicle in advance and turn on the warm air in advance to provide a comfortable and warm riding environment for citizens and passengers.
We inspect the air conditioning and heaters of all vehicles in operation every day to ensure the comfort of passengers. In terms of vehicle safety, we will test the vehicle antifreeze, check the tire pressure, and most importantly, check the gas circuit, because the temperature drops quickly in the cold wave, and the moisture in the gas path will freeze the air duct and affect the safe driving of the vehicle. Because the rubber is easy to break when the weather is cold, we replace it in time according to the tightness and aging of the belt to ensure the safe operation of the bus. Jiang Mingqiang, director of the Qingpu Bus Maintenance Department, said.
According to reports, in addition to the daily maintenance of the bus technicians, focus on the six main fire lines, insurance, retarder, protection circuit, new energy vehicles "three electricity" and other key parts of fire prevention, as well as high-voltage batteries, heating air conditioning and plumbing systems for careful inspection, found faults and potential safety hazards in a timely manner. At the same time, targeted winter driving safety training is carried out for drivers in cycles, focusing on safe driving specifications and driving operation essentials under specific weather conditions such as rain, fog, snow, slippery and icy roads, etc., so as to strengthen drivers' awareness of safe driving and operation skills, and ensure that citizens travel safely, warmly and smoothly.
