Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – On January 29th, multiple departments in Sichuan Province conducted a comprehensive, full-element, and full-process road emergency rescue drill on the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway (Chengdu-Nanchong section) to strengthen safety measures for the upcoming 2026 Spring Festival travel rush.
It is understood that this drill was jointly organized by the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation, the Sichuan Provincial Fire and Rescue Corps, and West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The aim was to improve the coordinated response and emergency rescue capabilities of multiple parties involved in multi-lane, high-traffic highway emergencies.
During the drill, helicopter rescue and the traffic accident victim treatment information service platform were used for the first time in Sichuan's multi-lane highway emergency response, marking a crucial step forward in the construction of Sichuan's "air-ground integrated" and "police-medical collaborative" emergency rescue system.
The drill simulated a rear-end collision between a passenger bus and a heavy truck on the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway (Chengdu-Nanchong section) during the Spring Festival travel rush, resulting in multiple injuries, including one person trapped and in critical condition. Following the accident, relevant departments and platforms immediately monitored anomalies and issued automatic warnings, supporting one-click dispatch and rapid response across multiple parties, minimizing the risk of secondary accidents and shifting emergency response from passive to proactive warning. "The 'multi-party' system jointly developed the '1+7' intelligent highway management platform, with 'grid-based management' at its core. Utilizing AI video analysis and multi-source data fusion technologies, it divides the Sichuan highway network into dynamic management grids," explained Wang Zhaohui, captain of the Traffic Management Brigade of the First Branch of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department's Highway Public Security Bureau.
During the drill, the "five-post integration" mechanism established by highway police in conjunction with traffic enforcement, monitoring operations, and other relevant units enabled a rapid response model of "1-minute detection, 1-minute dispatch, and 10-minute arrival" through multi-point, tiered deployment of rescue forces. Rescue personnel relied on drone warnings, dynamic speed limits, and actively applied collision-absorbing vehicles and vehicle intrusion prevention warning systems to ensure the accident was preventable and controllable, continuously improving the ability to handle incidents at all times and in multiple dimensions.
Reporters at the drill site witnessed the arrival of the "CERT" (Joint Emergency Response Team), led by highway police and trained by West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Upon arrival, the team quickly triaged the injured and, for the first time, deployed helicopters for transport and rescue of the seriously injured. Equipped with ventilators, defibrillators, and other equipment, the helicopters functioned as "mobile ICUs in the air." Through a traffic accident victim treatment information service platform, they shared information with hospitals in real time, ensuring smooth "air transport, ground coordination, and in-hospital emergency care," achieving "admission upon boarding, and doctors waiting for patients."
It is understood that Sichuan will continue to deepen the "one road, multiple parties" collaborative mechanism, promote the deep integration of smart highways and emergency rescue, and fully strengthen the road traffic safety barrier. (End)
