A few days ago, the G92 Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway Land Port Toll Station "Intelligent Tidal Robot" was officially inaugurated before the Spring Festival. Its opening will greatly alleviate the congestion at the entrance and exit of the inland port toll station, improve the efficiency of lane traffic, and escort the Spring Festival.
According to statistics, the average daily flow of toll stations in Lubu in Zhejiang Province is 3About 10,000 vehicles, which is a typical "small station with large flow", and the daily traffic distribution is characterized by "the import flow is higher than the export from 8 o'clock to 13 o'clock, the export flow is higher than the import flow from 14 o'clock to 17 o'clock, and the import and export flow is balanced during the rest of the period". Since its opening, in order to alleviate congestion, the ETC lane near the exit has been set up as a tidal lane, but because the tidal lane barrier adopts hard isolation, manual intervention is required when switching lanes, and the efficiency is not high.
After consultation, the Ningbo Management Center of Zhejiang Communications Investment Group and the three major teams of Ningbo Expressway Traffic Police decided to comprehensively upgrade the tidal lane barrier and replace the original hard isolation with an "intelligent tidal robot". Through solar power supply, it can achieve fully automatic "walking", don't look at its cute and bulky appearance, walking can be described as "wind under the feet", it only takes about 2 minutes to realize the lane switch between the entrance and exit. During the morning rush hour, the "Tidal Robot" moves to the exit side, and the number of entrance lanes changes from 3 to 4. During the evening rush hour, it will move to the entrance side, and the exit lanes will be changed from 5 to 6. It is worth mentioning that it also comes with BGM and lighting effects when moving, and the "tidal lane is switching, please pay attention to safety" and the flashing flashing warning lights will repeatedly remind the majority of drivers and passengers to pay attention to avoidance, so as to ensure the safety of the scene to the greatest extent.
At present, the use of "intelligent tidal robot" has greatly shortened the congestion at the entrance and exit of the land port in the morning and evening peaks, and the congestion time in the morning and evening peaks can be shortened by 1-2 hours compared with the original according to the different traffic flow of the day, which greatly improves the traffic efficiency of the land port toll station.
Next, the land port toll station will also re-optimize the tidal lane, expand the function of the artificial lane on the basis of the original ETC special lane, and further improve the traffic efficiency of the lane.
