Realize traffic integration

The 8th Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional Cooperation and Development Forum and Trade Fair was held in Hainan from November 28th to December 2nd. Experts at the meeting pointed out that the trend of integration of transportation in the Pan-Pearl area is obvious, and the total regional transportation demand will usher in rapid growth.

To realize the integration of transportation in the Pan-Pearl River Delta, three-pronged approaches must be adopted to solve the problem that the regional traffic information system is not perfect, and the mechanism for the construction and management of transportation does not meet the requirements of economic development, and the transportation between regions is not smooth.

—— Strong demand for regional transportation and development cooperation
The Pan-Pearl River Delta region covers Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hainan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, nine provinces and Hong Kong and Macao, two special administrative regions, referred to as "9+2", with a total area of ​​1/5 of the country, and population of the country. 1/3 of the total economy accounts for more than 40% of the country's total.

The experts pointed out that in recent years, the construction of the transportation infrastructure in the Pan-Pearl River Delta region has achieved remarkable development, accelerating the integration of transportation within the region. In terms of highway construction, the connection between provincial highways, national highway construction plans, and development plans of Hong Kong and Macau Road Network has been strengthened; in railway construction, the regional railway transportation network has been increasingly perfected, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Railway, and the inter-city railroad of the Pearl River Delta. The construction and connection with Hong Kong and Macao have been strengthened; in the area of ​​air transport, the Pan-Pearl River Delta “Airport Alliance” has been established, and cooperation between airlines and airports across the region has been strengthened. In addition, the tunnel section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Island Tunnel project has completed the first batch of pipe joint production tasks, and will begin the floatation and settling operation of the first section of the pipe section at the end of this year.

Experts believe that with the rapid development of the regional economy, the total regional transportation demand will continue to grow.

The strengthening of regional economic and trade cooperation will increase the total flow of resources between regions. With the increasing frequency of regional economic and trade activities, the flow intensity of economic factors such as production and living between regions will increase significantly. It can be predicted that the overall demand for transportation between the Pan-Pearl River Delta regions will continue to grow in the future.

Xie Qingsheng, deputy governor of Guizhou Province, said at the meeting that traffic is the precursor to economic development and the basis for regional economic cooperation. Guizhou has always endeavored to work with the Pan-PRD parties to improve the traffic conditions in the region, build a fast and comfortable modern integrated transportation system, and promote the formation of an accessible three-dimensional transportation network and a modern logistics system in the region.

In addition, the transportation demand for specific materials between Pan-PRD provinces will continue to grow in the future.

The Pan-Pearl River Delta region includes coastal developed provinces such as Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan, as well as mid-western developing provinces such as Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, plus Hong Kong and Macao SARs. Among them, developing provinces have a relatively large scale in energy and agricultural products supply and undertake industrial products, while developed coastal areas have a greater demand for energy and agricultural products. This kind of transport demand for specific materials with industry and product complementarities makes the region The demand for goods and transport in the east-west and north-south direction increased.

- Realizing traffic integration requires three major issues to be resolved

Experts at the meeting pointed out that in the face of huge transportation demand, the Pan-Zhu area, which has abundant transportation resources, has not played its due advantages. Judging from the current situation of regional transportation, the development of regional transportation and transportation cooperation is confronted with problems such as the incompleteness of the traffic information system, the inability of the transportation and construction and management mechanisms to meet the requirements of regional economic cooperation, and the inaccessibility of transportation between regions.

First of all, the traffic information system between Pan-PRD regions needs to be improved. In recent years, the overall construction of the Pan-Zhu area transportation and information system has made some progress, but the transportation and information systems of various provinces and cities are in a state of development. There is insufficient exchange of information on traffic administration and information on market demand between various regions, and the compatibility of hardware and software construction of transportation information needs to be improved.

Experts pointed out that the establishment of a unified traffic information platform enables the necessary government affairs, market demand, and travel information that can be enjoyed by different users to be accurate as soon as possible for managers, operators, and ordinary users in the transportation industry. Travel information. This is of great importance to the establishment of integrated transport.

Second, the mechanism for transportation construction and management needs to be improved. Not meet the requirements of regional economic cooperation and development. At present, the Pan-Pearl River Delta region's transportation cannot meet the requirements for the development of regional economic cooperation. There is no situation of coordinated development of unified planning, overall construction, and unified management. Traffic construction in each province is still a development of its own, self-contained system, leading to an incomplete regional transport network.

Participating experts believe that the transportation service system also lacks a coordination mechanism for coordination and unified management, and different tariffs and outflow and entry management systems between provinces and regions or between Hong Kong and Macao and 9 provinces and territories restrict the development of transportation cooperation in the Pan-Pearl River Delta region. .

In addition, the transportation between different regions is not smooth and restricts the cooperative development of the regional economy. In the current status of regional traffic and transportation corridors, the railway-oriented transportation pressures in the southwest region leading to the southern coastal and Pearl River delta regions and the southwest region to the eastern coastal area are mainly transport pressures, long distances and low transportation efficiency. The international transportation corridors are also inadequate. Civil aviation international routes, the lack of outbound passages for highways and railways, and the capacity of port container transportation cannot meet the needs of regional export-oriented economic development.

-- Three-pronged approach to promote regional transportation integration

To realize regional traffic integration, a unified traffic management information system needs to be established. For different regions, different transportation management departments and different transportation companies, different traffic information systems are integrated so that the information of the entire industry can be shared. In this way, the advantages of the entire industry information system can be brought into play and the operational efficiency of the entire transportation industry can be improved.

The chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Ma Wei, said at the meeting that it is necessary to establish a mutually compatible and interconnected logistics platform and information network to achieve the sharing of logistics public service facilities in the region.

At the same time, we must also plan the infrastructure construction in a unified way. For the construction of the transportation infrastructure in the Pan-Pearl River Delta, on the one hand, we should pay attention to the construction of the nodes, that is, to build transit hubs with strong functions and multiple transportation modes in some major cities; on the other hand, we must pay attention to the construction of channels for mutual contact among various regions. Such as routes, railways and highways, so that the transportation network to meet demand, smooth.

Ma Yun also said that it is recommended that China jointly develop the medium and long-term plans for transportation in the Pan-PRD region, jointly accelerate the construction of railways, highways, and inland waterways that connect the neighboring provinces and regions, and jointly open up the decapitated road and break the river to speed up the process of traffic integration.

In addition, highly coordinated traffic management measures. Road transport is only part of the entire transportation system. If integrated transportation is to be realized throughout the entire region, all relevant departments, such as railways and aviation, will need to make greater cooperation in policies and operations. This cooperation is not only an industry. Between, and also between the regions.
