During the 2024 Spring Festival, China will encounter the most complicated Spring Festival weather since 2008. This news has attracted widespread attention, and related topics have topped the hot search, with a reading volume of up to 3600 million times. This year's Spring Festival, the flow of passengers returning to their hometowns, visiting relatives, and tourism is superimposed, and the flow of people has reached a record high, and it is expected that 9 billion people will travel. However, before the Spring Festival, there was a wide range of continuous rain, snow and freezing weather in the central and eastern parts of China, which was the strongest winter since 2009. After the Spring Festival, most parts of China have experienced severe weather such as rain and snow, freezing, strong winds and dust.
This extreme weather brings significant challenges to the transportation system, adding complexity to safety, transportation organization and services. According to the summary of relevant experts, the "abnormal transportation" during this year's Spring Festival transportation is facing a number of new challenges. First of all, the intensity of passenger and cargo flows has increased, and the proportion of people choosing to travel by car has also increased. Second, severe weather is frequent, bringing uncertainty to transportation. In addition, the flow of cross-regional tourists has also increased significantly, and rural traffic safety is at risk. This series of problems has exposed many problems such as low redundancy of the transportation network, lack of emergency plans and the ability to respond to emergencies.
In the face of many unfavorable factors, car rescue companies across the country have prepared in advance and actively responded, and gave satisfactory answers with professional skills, enthusiasm and sweat. According to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association, nearly 1.5 million car rescues were made in major provinces and regions during the Spring Festival this year, an increase of 54 percent over the same period last year1%。The highest rescue volume in a single day reached 740,000 orders, with an average daily rescue volume of 460,000 orders. The rescue volume in various provinces and autonomous regions has also increased to varying degrees.
However, while the number of rescues is growing, auto rescue companies are also facing problems such as personnel shortages. The results of the survey show that those that are able to implement standardization in their daily work perform well in response to exceptional situations. This shows that the implementation of daily work standards plays a key role in the actual operation of the enterprise.
In 2024, the Automobile Club Branch of China Automobile Dealers Association will continue to strengthen the formulation, promotion and training of industry standards to promote the leapfrog development of the entire rescue industry.
To sum up, during the 2024 Spring Festival, China is facing complex Spring Festival weather, which has brought great challenges to the transportation system. However, car rescue companies around the world have shown their expertise and dedication to service by preparing in advance and responding proactively. Relevant departments will also further strengthen the construction and training of industry standardization to promote the development of the rescue industry. The impact of this series of events on society cannot be ignored, and it is still questionable whether the future Spring Festival will be able to better cope with extreme weather.
