Mystery under the steering wheel (1): Interpretation of power steering system

  [Technology] Cars have become an indispensable part of our lives. The combination of steering wheel+shift lever+pedal seems to have become a natural way to control cars, but their respective mechanisms are rarely understood. Take the steering wheel in our hands as an example, the majority of riders are still vague about the common concepts of various steering systems, such as "the difference with hydraulic power" and "what is the variable power", and so on. Below, we will systematically introduce various common steering systems, answer these questions, and discuss the mysteries and mysteries of various steering systems with you.

 Home of the car

  Because of the long space, this paper introduces our most common system now, interprets "where does the power come from" and introduces the classification of power steering system.

  Power steering, as its name implies, is to resist steering resistance by increasing external force, so that drivers can complete steering with less force. It is also called power steering. It was originally designed to make some large vehicles with heavy weight operate more easily, but now it has become very popular. It makes driving easier and easier, and makes vehicles more agile and improves safety to some extent. Power steering can be divided into two categories according to the different sources of power-hydraulic power and electric power.

  The origin of hydraulic power steering can be traced back to February, 1902. Frederick W. Lanchester of Britain invented "Cause the steering mechanism to be actuated by hydraulic power", that is, the hydraulic driving steering mechanism. After that, inventors in the United States and Canada successively registered patents for similar inventions. In automobile production, the commercial production of hydraulic power steering system was first realized, and it was named Hydraguide hydraulic steering system, and it was installed on Chrysler’s sixth generation Imperial in 1951. With the development of technology, the steering system with electronic pump instead of mechanical pump appears, so the current hydraulic power is mainly divided into mechanical hydraulic power and electronic hydraulic power. In addition, the electronic servo hydraulic power steering system is derived from the mechanical hydraulic power.

  Let’s look at the main principle of mechanical hydraulic power steering, which is based on mechanical rack-and-pinion steering mechanism, and adds a whole set of hydraulic system, including liquid storage tank, hydraulic booster pump, mechanical valve connected with steering column, hydraulic cylinder on steering mechanism and the one that can push steering rod, etc.

  The hydraulic pump provided by mechanical power steering is driven by a belt, which means that the steering pump can only run when the engine is running, which is why the steering wheel power disappears after the engine is turned off. On the steering machine, there is a mechanical valve that can rotate with the steering column. When the steering wheel does not rotate left and right, the pressure in the chambers on both sides of the piston is consistent and in a balanced state. When the steering wheel rotates, the mechanical valve connected to the steering column will be opened or closed accordingly, and the oil on one side will return directly to the oil storage tank without passing through the hydraulic cylinder, and the oil on the other side will continue to be injected into the hydraulic cylinder, so that the pressure difference between the two sides of the piston will be pushed under the action of hydraulic force, and then the auxiliary force will be generated to push the steering rod to steer the wheels, which greatly reduces the force required for us to turn the steering wheel.

Home of the car

  Another advantage of hydraulic power steering system is to improve comfort and safety. When the wheels jump violently and the tires turn involuntarily when encountering potholes, the vibration can be well buffered and absorbed by the action of hydraulic pressure on the piston, which greatly reduces the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel. At the same time, this structure also improves the safety. For example, when a vehicle using the traditional rack-and-pinion mechanism turns, the tire suddenly changes direction when it encounters a pothole, and the rack will drive the gear to reverse the steering wheel, resulting in the situation of "beater", which is easy to hurt the driver’s hand, so there will be no such problem in a hydraulically assisted vehicle.

  Mechanical hydraulic booster features:The whole system is a mechanical structure, from the mechanical hydraulic pump driven by the belt to the hydraulic mechanical valve body on the steering column, without any electronic system, with mature and stable technology, high reliability and wide application range. Even if the hydraulic system of the vehicle fails and loses power, it can still rely on the traditional rack and pinion mechanism for steering. Disadvantages are complex structure, large space occupation and high manufacturing cost, which also makes the maintenance difficult and costly. And because the hydraulic pump is driven by the engine belt, it will consume part of the power of the engine, which will affect the fuel economy and the power of the vehicle, especially for small-displacement vehicles with relatively weak power. In addition, the strength of the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system is not adjustable, so it is difficult to take into account the different requirements for pointing accuracy when driving at low speed and high speed.

● Electro-hydraulic booster

  The so-called Electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS for short) has exactly the same principle as mechanical hydraulic power steering, but the biggest difference from mechanical hydraulic power steering is that instead of using a hydraulic pump driven by an engine through a belt, it is replaced by an electric pump.

Home of the car

  The advantages of electro-hydraulic power assist are firstly reflected in energy consumption. First, the electronic pump driven by electric energy uses the electric energy output by the generator and the battery, and no longer consumes the power of the engine itself. The start and stop of the electronic pump are all controlled by the electronic system. When it is not steering, the electronic pump is turned off, unlike the mechanical hydraulic power assist pump, which is always linked with the engine, further reducing energy consumption.

  Secondly, the electronic control unit of the electro-hydraulic power steering system can change the power of steering assistance by processing the information of sensors such as speed sensor, lateral acceleration sensor and steering angle sensor, and changing the flow rate of the electronic pump in real time, that is, the function of variable power assistance with speed. Of course, it is not only the electro-hydraulic power assist that can realize the variable power assist with speed. We will introduce various "variable" power assist steering systems in detail in later articles.

  Electro-hydraulic power assist has been gradually popularized since the late 1990s, and brands such as,,,,, and have models using electro-hydraulic power assist system. We are familiar with, and other models use such a system.

Citroen Dongfeng Citroen Triumphal 2006 2.0L Automatic Elite

"Triumph, old models and other models use electro-hydraulic power."

Ford Changan Ford Focus 2011 sedan 2.0AT luxury model

  Why can’t electro-hydraulic assist replace mechanical hydraulic assist?

  No matter from the aspects of technology, function or economy, electro-hydraulic power assistance has more advantages than mechanical hydraulic power assistance. However, at present, electro-hydraulic power assistance has not been able to replace mechanical hydraulic power assistance for the following reasons:

  1. The cost of electro-hydraulic booster is higher. Compared with the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system, after adding the electronic control system and replacing it with the electronic pump, the manufacturing cost of electronic hydraulic power-assisted system is higher, the technology is more complicated, and the difficulty and cost of maintenance are also increased.

  2. The reliability is not as good as that of mechanical hydraulic booster. In addition to the failure of steering mechanism and hydraulic mechanism, electro-hydraulic power assist also increases the possibility of electrical system failure, so its reliability is not as good as that of traditional hydraulic power assist system.

  3. The assistance is limited. Although the use of electronic pump has obvious advantages, it needs to be driven by the electric energy of the generator, and the vehicle-mounted generator itself and the maximum current it can provide are limited, so the power of the electronic pump is also limited, and the load it can carry is also limited. Therefore, at present, most of the models that use electro-hydraulic power are medium-sized vehicles. For vehicles that need greater assistance, the electro-hydraulic assistance system is beyond the reach.

  4. Evolved mechanical hydraulic booster system. With the development of technology, the variable speed function of electro-hydraulic power-assisted system has been realized on the evolved mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system (using solenoid valve body technology), and even a variable speed ratio system has been derived from the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted steering system, so the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system with higher reliability and load-bearing capacity is still welcomed by manufacturers.

Haier commander refrigerator and Haier refrigerator difference Haier commander refrigerator and Haier refrigerator introduction [detailed explanation]

  The brand awareness of Haier refrigerator is very high. Many people have heard that Haier Commander Refrigerator and Haier Refrigerator are the same. What is the difference between Haier Commander Refrigerator and Haier Refrigerator? Why is the price gap so big? The following small series will give you a specific analysis. Let’s take a look.

  Haier tongshuai refrigerator

  Commander-in-Chief is the third sub-brand of Haier Group after Haier and casarte, and it is a customized home appliance brand launched by Haier Group under the background of the Internet era. In 1998, the commander-in-chief brand was exported to the European market as an overseas marketing platform.

  Haier Group products have three brands, Haier, casarte and Commander-in-Chief. Haier refrigerator and Haier Commander refrigerator are both brands of Haier refrigerators, but they are put into different markets. Commander series belongs to Haier’s low-end and mid-end brands. In the early stage, home appliances went to the countryside as Commander refrigerators, and casarte series was the high-end brand of refrigerators.

  The product appearance of Haier refrigerator and Haier commander refrigerator may be different. Haier staff said that Haier’s commander-in-chief brand and Haier brand refrigerator are the same in terms of development and production technology, but the brands are different and the materials of some refrigerators are different. The product quality is the same, and the commander-in-chief also provides product customization.

  Generally, Haier refrigerators have refrigerator specification labels (or refrigerator nameplates) attached to the inner wall of the refrigerating room or the back of the refrigerator, which indicate the specifications, models (such as "BCD-216YH silver gray" for a 216-liter silver gray refrigerator), power, circuit diagram and so on. Haier’s products exclusively used in urban and rural areas are generally not fully labeled or not labeled at all, but the performance of the products is the same as other products. For the refrigerators exclusively used, only the refrigerators are more suitable for the supply and demand sides.

  The difference between Haier commander refrigerator and Haier refrigerator is here for everyone. You should be able to distinguish between the two refrigerators now, and also introduce the relationship between them. In the future, you can clearly distinguish when buying Haier refrigerator. I hope the content introduced above can help those in need.

Dragon boat races, dumplings, and folk customs … The festive atmosphere around the Dragon Boat Festival is getting stronger and stronger.

CCTV News:On May 24th, 2025, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Maozhou River Dragon Boat Race started.

This dragon boat race is the first provincial dragon boat race in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area this year. There are 24 professional teams from Greater Bay Area, which are divided into three groups: Bay Area Men’s Team, Bay Area Women’s Team and Shenzhen Team. After two hours of fierce competition, the Chenpi Dragon Boat Team of Hongdatang, Xinhui, Jiangmen, the Hong Kong, China Women’s Dragon Boat Team and the Xiayong Jiangxia Huang Dragon Boat Team of Yanluotang won the first place in each group respectively.

Tongxiang, Zhejiang: Dragon Boat Race, Visiting the Market, Colorful Folk Customs and Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival

On the 24th, in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, citizens gathered at the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to watch the dragon boat race and experience the folklore of the Dragon Boat Festival.

At 10 o’clock in the morning, more than 10 beautifully decorated dragon boats are ready to go in the Chongfu section of Tongxiang of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. As the drums sounded, the dragon boats split the waves in pairs on the water. Dragon boat race on the river, the oars flying over, the team members joined forces to paddle in the drums and applause, bravely competing for the first place.

There are not only dragon boat races, but also folk cultural projects such as fish lantern performances, canal encouragement and lion dance performances.

Shiqian, Guizhou: skillfully making tea-scented sister dumplings to convey neighborhood feelings

In Xinhua Village, Shiqian County, Tongren County, Guizhou Province, villagers are working together in Qi Xin to make tea-scented sister zongzi with unique local characteristics, so that the thick zongzi fragrance is intertwined with the neighborhood.

Early in the morning, the villagers in Xinhua Village of Wude Town were busy. Pick the fresh leaves of the day, wash and dry them, prepare local glutinous rice, chestnut, straw and other materials, and wrap the sister dumplings according to the method passed down by the older generation. First, fold the leaves into a funnel shape, add stuffing such as glutinous rice and chestnut, and wrap them into triangular dumplings. Then, take a small piece of rice dumpling leaves and repeat the above steps. Place the small triangular rice dumpling next to the big triangular rice dumpling, cover it with the same rice dumpling leaf, and finally tie it tightly with straw, and a sister rice dumpling with unique shape will be completed.

Later, the villagers set up firewood and started to cook the sister dumplings with iron cooking utensils, which took two and a half hours. The secret of the unique flavor of sister zongzi lies in putting in the newly picked moss tea in that year. Under the slow stew of firewood, the fragrance of moss tea blends with the fragrance of zongzi, emitting an attractive aroma.

In Xinhua Village, Bao Sisters Zongzi is not only a food production and cultural heritage, but also a bond of neighborhood friendship. When a pot of steaming tea-scented sister dumplings comes out of the pot, the villagers will distribute them to their neighbors and relatives to share the joy and warmth of this festival.

Changning, Yunnan: The special zongzi "Xiang" is about the unique and popular flavor of the Dragon Boat Festival.

In Changning County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, there are many kinds of special zongzi, such as tea zongzi, alkaline zongzi and ham zongzi, which satisfy the taste buds of different diners with their unique flavors.

Early in the morning, Shaojuan, a tea farmer, began to select local high-quality old-tree black tea, boil a reddish-brown tea soup, let it cool, and then pour it into the washed glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice was soaked, everyone sat around and wrapped zongzi, and then cooked it with a big fire. Soon, the angular and fragrant tea zongzi were freshly baked.

In addition to tea dumplings, alkaline dumplings are also deeply loved by local people. This kind of zongzi is made by burning corn stalks into ash, adding boiling water and filtering to make alkaline water. Then, the glutinous rice and alkaline water are mixed and soaked for 5 to 6 hours to color and enhance the fragrance of the glutinous rice. After the dumplings are wrapped in alkaline water, they need to be cooked for about 4 hours on high fire, and the taste is the best.

When wrapping rice dumplings with alkaline water, local people will also add ham produced in Yunnan to make a unique ham dumpling. After eating it in one bite, the salty flavor of ham and the sweetness of glutinous rice will be perfectly integrated, and the lips and teeth will remain fragrant.

Kunming, Yunnan: All kinds of zongzi are freshly listed, packaged and sold with old flavor.

In the major farmers’ markets in Kunming, Yunnan Province, all kinds of special zongzi are on the market, especially the dumplings now packaged are very popular.

In this large-scale farmer’s market in Kunming, the Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi has entered a hot-selling period, and the special Zongzi from Kunming, Honghe and Xishuangbanna have been placed in the obvious position of the stalls.

After shopping around, this zongzi from Guizhou also attracted many consumers to buy it. The boss said that this time he brought more than a dozen kinds of zongzi, all of which were sent from Guizhou, focusing on characteristics and freshness.

Zongzi with various new flavors has become the darling of the market, but many people still like the old flavor of being packaged and sold now.

There are people who buy finished zongzi, but some consumers still like to buy zongzi leaves and materials to wrap at home, so that the Dragon Boat Festival zongzi is full of home flavor.

Disease control: I hope to cover all possible countries and regions as far as possible in traceability research.

  CCTV News:On the afternoon of April 8, the State Council held a press conference on the traceability research of COVID-19 in China.

  At the press conference, a reporter asked: What kind of cooperation plan will China have with the international community in the future regarding the investigation and research on traceability? Are there any specific international cooperation arrangements or plans?

  Zhou Lei, a researcher at China CDC, responded that Covid-19’s traceability is not a matter for one country, nor can it be accomplished independently by one country. It necessarily requires the joint efforts of the global scientific community. Therefore, it is imperative for the whole world to unite, especially for scientists to work together to carry out traceability, which is also necessary and what we have always advocated. We are adhering to an open, objective, scientific and open attitude to cooperate with WHO. We have also invited international experts many times. For example, since 2020, we have invited at least two international experts to China to carry out traceability research. I think this will not change in the future, which is certain.

  In fact, just now, several of my colleagues have repeatedly mentioned that the first phase of our joint research cooperated with more than 10 international colleagues and top international experts selected by WHO to carry out joint research work, and formed a particularly detailed joint research report for joint release. This is an attitude in itself, and this is our research result. After that, we didn’t stop our research work, and our expectation and efforts to trace the source never stopped. A large number of research results and data we carried out in the later period were shared with our international counterparts in various forms without reservation. We published many scientific papers, shared our sequences and shared our data and information in multiple databases. In addition, we supported the decision of WHO to conduct global joint traceability. We sent experts to collect more data and information, and we have been doing what China can do. In fact, we very, very much hope that global traceability can really become a global traceability. We have repeatedly called for the location and angle of traceability research to cover all possible countries and regions as much as possible, and we should stop speculating and paying attention to Wuhan all the time. We have done a lot of work in this regard, and I have reiterated this many times. China’s attitude has never changed. Traceability research should be an international action. We also very much hope that WHO is an authoritative professional organization and international organization, which can really organize the global traceability work and organize all the elites in the international scientific community with a scientific, rigorous and fair attitude.Let us trace back to Covid-19 and get a convincing answer in the future.

The comedian organized a group to drag the opera, and the film "The Great Anti-school" was set.

Today (11th), the official announcement of the comedy film "Big Anti-Faction" will be released nationwide on April 4th. It is reported that the film has assembled more than 20 gold medal comedians, which will bring a relaxed and joyful work to the audience during the Qingming small holiday.

The comedian organized a group to drag the opera, and the film "The Great Anti-school" was set.

The movie "The Great Anti-Faction" tells the story of the little actor Bi Chao (Bao Beier) who finally got the chance to play the big villain after all the hardships. However, Bi Chao accidentally lost his memory and mistakenly thought that he was a suspect in the kidnapping case. With amnesia, he was determined to "go against the sky and change his life" and continue his plan of "kidnapping the richest man", but he did not expect to be crushed in action. Bi Chao, who was unarmed, was not only starved and beaten along the way, but also offended three gangsters who wanted money and didn’t want to die. Can Bi Chao’s goal be achieved in the end, and what kind of jokes will he encounter? It remains to be seen.

In the preview of the film’s "This villain is not very clever" version, a news report confessed that "kidnapper" Bi Chao was running around the city, but it was completely inconsistent with the description of "extremely vicious" in the report. Bi Chao not only had no money to be sent back to his original place by taxi driver, but also was caught by the security guard and ate several "big pockets" in the process of secretly stepping on the spot. The robber Bi Chao experienced all kinds of oolong events in the process of completing the goal of "kidnapping the richest man", and the unreasonable storyline also attracted the audience to burst into laughter, all of which revealed the film purpose of "making fun". And dazzling female stars, resplendent party scenes and other "eye-catching" pictures are also very eye-catching.

At the same time, there are also big scenes of "package stimulation" such as drifting around the corner and flying car blasting, which instantly boost the adrenaline of the audience. At the end of the preview, the richest man was not afraid of the robbers who caught up, and even boasted that "this is bulletproof glass", but he didn’t expect to be backhand. Bi Chao directly opened the car door, raised his pistol and said, "Get off!" It will break the game in an instant, and the relationship between the robbers and the rich will be reversed instantly. Subverting the brain hole and constantly reversing the comedy burden has also made the audience increasingly look forward to what interesting plots will follow.

The film assembled more than 20 golden comedy lineups that made people "smile", and all the performers staged a "drama in the play" that was constantly reversed. Bao Beier, the leading actor, became a distinctive "villain" this time, which was crushed by reality and brought a refreshing hilarious experience to the audience. The actors such as Xiao Spicy Li Jiaqi, Dayong Zhou, Clara, Wei Xiang, Jia Bing, Yang Haoyu and Andrew, who all appeared in the preview, are even more eye-catching. The super comedy lineup joined forces to attack, and everyone collectively shook their burdens and pulled the "laugh" fruit full.

Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist Kong Xiaoping

The car will not give way to each other, and the "road anger" man actually instructed the truck to hit the car.

  Guangzhou Daily News (all-media reporters Jessica Fong Ching correspondent Li Xiaoyuan and Zhou Bo) On March 23rd this year, a movie-like "car-chasing and intercepting play" was staged on Jinsha Road in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. In order to stop a car, two large trucks did not hesitate to chase the car for one kilometer, cross the line, turn around and even hit the other car’s head. It turned out that the driver of this car had beaten with another car driver, Zhou, because of the problem of not giving way to each other in the narrow road. When Zhou was angry, he called relatives driving big trucks to intercept each other. On the morning of July 30th, Guangzhou Haizhu District People’s Court held a public hearing on Zhou’s case of suspected trouble-making, and pronounced a sentence in court. Zhou was sentenced to seven months’ imprisonment.

  According to the prosecution’s allegations, at 22: 40 on March 23 this year, when the defendant Zhou drove a car out of Innovation Road via Xinmin Sixth Street in Haizhu District, he met Kuang Mouming driving a car from Innovation Road to Xinmin Sixth Street. Because of the narrow road, two cars cannot pass at the same time. Due to the problem of avoiding the car, the defendant Zhou had an argument with Kuang Mouming and his co-pilot Kuang Mouhua, and then the two sides beat each other.

  After a "scuffle", Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua drove away first, and the defendant Zhou immediately left a voice message on his relatives’ WeChat group using WeChat, claiming that he was injured in Xinmin Sixth Street and asked his relatives to come over to help chase him by car. At the same time, he also called relatives to inform them to drive to the scene.

  Later, two large trucks called by the defendant Zhou arrived at the scene, and Zhou sat on one of the large trucks and commanded to catch up with the car for nearly one kilometer. When chasing after the Jinsha gas station near Jinsha Road in Haizhu District, Zhou’s big truck intercepted the small car driven by Kuang Mouming. When Kuang Mouming saw it, he turned around and fled. At this time, another big truck rushed from the opposite lane and crossed the line and crashed into the small car driven by Kuang Mouming, causing damage to the left front of the car and the left rear mirror.

  After Kuang Mouming was hit and stopped, Zhou’s big truck immediately stepped forward to intercept. Zhou and others got off the cab and wanted to rush to the vehicle driven by Kuang Mouming. When Kuang Mouming saw it, he immediately drove away from the scene and called the police for help. Subsequently, the defendant Zhou was arrested by the police. After identification, the injuries of Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua were all minor injuries, and the loss price of the car driven by Kuang Mouming was RMB 8663.22.

  The prosecutor asked in court, "Do you know the consequences of chasing cars on the main road?" "Why didn’t you call the police immediately?" Zhou argued that the reason why he informed his relatives to chase and intercept Kuang Mouming’s driving vehicle was that Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua beat him and fled. He didn’t remember their license plates, only recognized cars and people, "just wanted to intercept the other vehicle and call the police", but there was no alarm after the collision.

  After trial, Haizhu District People’s Court held that the defendant Zhou chased and intercepted others, and the circumstances were bad; Arbitrary destruction of public or private property, if the circumstances are serious, has constituted the crime of stirring up trouble. The defendant Zhou confessed his crime truthfully after arriving at the case and voluntarily pleaded guilty, which can be given a lighter punishment according to law. The defendant, Zhou, had an altercation with Kuang Mouming’s party because of the meeting, and then beat each other. After Kuang Mouming’s party left, he still called others to drive the truck to catch up with and intercept the vehicle driven by Kuang Mouming. His behavior of catching up and intercepting had a great impact on traffic order, and he was given a heavier punishment as appropriate. Considering that Kuang Mouming was at fault, and the defendant Zhou had actively compensated Kuang Mouming for his losses, he was given a lighter punishment as appropriate. In the end, the court ruled that the defendant Zhou constituted a crime of seeking trouble and sentenced him to seven months in prison.

The 40-day Spring Festival travel rush officially kicked off, and they guarded passengers’ safe travel in this way.

Text/Yangcheng Evening News All-Media Reporter Li Zhiwen

At 0: 50 on January 7th, the K4562/3 train with 1813 passengers left Guangzhou Station slowly. This is Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s first passenger train during Spring Festival travel rush in 2023, which marks the official start of the 40-day Spring Festival travel rush.

This year, Spring Festival travel rush is the first Spring Festival travel rush after the introduction of the "New Ten Articles" for epidemic prevention and control. The reporter observed in railway stations, airports, passenger stations and other transportation hubs that compared with the previous epidemic period, there have been many new changes in Spring Festival travel rush this year: the green code has not been checked, the nucleic acid has not been looked at, and the passenger pit stop process has become simpler; Wearing masks, protective clothing and gloves-there are fewer fully armed passengers or even out of sight; There are more and more passengers with their families, big bags and small bags, and smiling faces … In order to make passengers travel safely and smoothly, they do this.

Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation

This year, the Provincial Department of Transportation further strengthened the linkage between departments, improved the working mechanism of Spring Festival travel rush, further sorted out the traffic jams and toll stations, strengthened the road network detection, dispatching and emergency response of important transportation corridors, key nodes and traffic jams and bottlenecks, and improved the rapid response capability.

In order to build a safe Spring Festival travel rush, the Provincial Department of Transportation will continue to implement the "one-day-one-judge" Spring Festival travel rush working mechanism, and coordinate the prevention and control of Spring Festival travel rush epidemic and the guarantee of transportation services. Do a good job in the dynamic intelligent monitoring of operating vehicles, focusing on strengthening the safety supervision of long-distance passenger transport, tourist chartered cars, rural passenger transport and dangerous goods transportation. Do a good job in the source management of passenger stations, and urge passenger stations to strictly implement the "three no-stops and six no-exits" system. Keep a close eye on key nodes such as "passenger ro-ro transportation in Qiongzhou Strait" and "four types of key ships" and strengthen waterway safety supervision.

In order to further improve the service level of Spring Festival travel rush, the transportation system of the whole province will actively carry out voluntary services such as "Warm Winter Action", "Warm Migrant Workers in Spring" and "Spring Breeze Action" to provide information consultation, civilized guidance, tea supply and other services for drivers and passengers in the past, so as to warm passengers’ way home. Strengthen the sanitation and cleaning of transportation stations, provide waiting areas and consulting services for pregnant women, children, sick and disabled passengers, and further improve the waiting environment for passengers. At the same time, strengthen the transportation service guarantee in key periods, and actively organize "point-to-point" transportation such as chartered cars, special trains and charter flights to meet the needs of people returning to work and returning to school.

This year, Spring Festival travel rush’s transportation system will fully implement the latest epidemic prevention and control optimization measures and "Class B and B management" measures of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, continue to do a good job in the normalization prevention and control of "two stations, one field, one port and one service area", strictly implement measures such as disinfection of passenger stations, service areas and means of transportation, and do a good job in cleaning the environment, ventilation and ventilation. In principle, disinfection and ventilation should be no less than once a day.

At the same time, strengthen the passenger flow organization of passenger stations, guide passengers to wait for passengers and sit in scattered places when conditions permit, and reduce the concentration of people. Long-distance road passenger drivers should try to fix the lines and vehicles during their work, and drivers of long-distance passenger lines and drivers and passengers of important energy transportation channels should try to arrange fixed rest places to prevent cross-infection.

All localities will further optimize the ticketing organization, actively provide contactless services such as mobile terminal ticket purchase and ID card checking, and guide passengers to wait for the bus (ship) and board the bus (ship) in an orderly manner. Strengthen the connection of various modes of transportation, effectively improve the efficiency of combined transport and continuous transfer, and effectively solve the "first and last mile" of passenger travel. Increase the organization and management of rural passenger transport and the delivery of transport capacity, improve the coverage of rural passenger transport lines, and ensure the travel needs of the masses.

Guangzhou Railway Group: The renovation and inspection of locomotives, vehicles, line equipment and station equipment have been completed in an all-round way.

In terms of hardware, Guangzhou Railway Group has strengthened the inspection and maintenance of service facilities and equipment. In front of Spring Festival travel rush, the ticket vending machines, elevators, air conditioners and seats were thoroughly inspected and rectified to ensure that basic services such as environmental sanitation, toilet use and boiled water supply were in place. At the same time, before New Year’s Day, the service "Keep Smooth" project in Guangdong Province was put into use as scheduled. For example, Guangzhou South Railway Station also completed the construction of Spring Festival travel rush Security Project, the west platform completed the optimization of compound security check and exit streamline, and eight channels were added at the security check and exit.

Increase investment in safety equipment. Spring Festival travel rush Former Group Company has completely completed the renovation and inspection of locomotives, vehicles, line equipment and station equipment, so as to ensure that these equipment can run safely and smoothly during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush.

In terms of service upgrading, we adhered to the standards of demand orientation and passenger satisfaction, coordinated Spring Festival travel rush, epidemic prevention, transportation and safety, focused on the service needs of passengers, and introduced 15 measures to facilitate the people and benefit the people, such as adjusting the preferential standard for children’s tickets to age according to their height, and canceling the restriction that students can only buy student discount tickets in winter and summer vacations.

Baiyun Airport: "Spring Breeze Service" Helps Passengers Travel Well

While ensuring the safe operation, Baiyun Airport practiced the "Spring Breeze Service" and launched a series of warm service measures in view of the "key and difficult points" in Spring Festival travel rush’s security work. All units in the frontcourt will strengthen the deployment of manpower, and the security inspection channels will be opened in advance according to the passenger flow situation, and all channels will be opened during the peak passenger flow period to quickly check and release passengers.

During the security inspection in Spring Festival travel rush, according to the actual demand on site, passages for "first passengers", "students returning from winter vacation" and "late passengers" were set up to provide convenience for special passengers such as those who arrive late for some reason and those who are old, weak, sick and pregnant.

Air Service Branch has set up a special service counter and a love counter at the duty officer’s counter at Gate 2 of Terminal 1 and the check-in counter at No.17 on M Island, respectively, to give priority to check-in procedures for passengers in need. For special international passengers, assist in making electronic health declaration and provide customs clearance guidelines.

Although the market of DEB is not very large, B-VEC has proved the feasibility of the company’s technology platform to some extent. Besides the skin diseases and respiratory diseases that have been laid out at present, the company has also started clinical trials to treat cystic fibrosis. In addition, Jeune Aesthestics, a subsidiary of KRYS, is still trying to enter the field of medical beauty.

With its unique technology platform value and several promising research pipelines, KRYS is expected to become an M&A option for large pharmaceutical companies.

10、Xenon(NASDAQ:XENE)
