Anti-congestion GPS monitoring should “open the way” for grave sweeping this winter

□Under the guidance of various measures, the road to tomb sweeping is expected to be smoother in the future.

This Saturday, Shanghai will gradually enter the peak period of winter solstice tomb-sweeping. Yesterday, reporters learned from relevant departments that it is expected that 2.06 million citizens in Shanghai will go out to sweep graves this winter. The city will use a dynamic satellite real-time monitoring system (GPS) to dynamically monitor the 15 cemeteries in Shanghai with the highest concentration of commemorative grave sweepers.

As soon as there is a blockage, call the police immediately.

The reporter learned that a dynamic satellite real-time monitoring system will be installed at the entrances and exits, parking lots, gates, and main roads of each cemetery to monitor the traffic conditions inside and outside the cemetery and the crowds of worshippers. The monitoring images will be transmitted in real time to Visit the emergency command center. Once a traffic jam or a large number of people entering the cemetery is detected, the command center will issue an alarm and take measures.

This year, two cemeteries, Qingming Songhe Cemetery and Lexiang Cemetery, tried the GPS system and the results were good. Lu Chunlin, Director of the Funeral Department of the Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, told reporters that during the winter solstice this year, GPS systems will appear in 15 cemeteries with the highest concentration of tourists, including Binhai Ancient Garden and Fushou Garden. Basically every district or county will have a cemetery with small satellites installed inside. Once results are achieved, we will work hard to promote it to 44 cemeteries across the city within three years.

Currently, several cemeteries are intensively installing GPS. The relevant person in charge of Fuyuan told reporters that the GPS is also connected to the monitoring system in the cemetery park, which can monitor the situation in every corner of the park.

No tolls will be charged at toll stations with congestion exceeding 2 kilometers.

The city has 44 commercial cemeteries and 9 commercial columbariums, more than 1.4 million graves have been sold, and 210,000 squares have been stored and buried. This year's winter solstice falls on December 21, with approximately 2.06 million tomb sweeps, 170,000 vehicles, and nearly 30,000 caves buried.

From December 6th to December 21st, the entire winter solstice snow clearing activity lasted for 16 days. Among them, December 13th, 14th, 20th, and 21st fall on weekends, and it is expected that there will be peak passenger flow, especially on the 20th and 21st. The city's main roads leading to places of worship and street sweeping are likely to be congested from 8:00 am to 11:30 am on these four days.

According to current predictions, Jiading District is the area with the largest visitor flow for Winter Solstice festivals, with approximately 460,000 citizens coming to worship, followed by Fengxian, Qingpu, and Baoshan. The relevant person in charge of the Pudong New Area Funeral Management Office told reporters that although only 180,000 citizens went to Pudong to sweep graves during the Winter Solstice, the north passage of the airport is being built on Huaxia East Road in Chuansha, Pudong, which involves travel to three cemeteries including Lexiang Cemetery and Yongan Cemetery. Road congestion may occur. In response, many cemeteries have opened temporary parking lots and temporarily added signs on construction roads.

According to the municipal department, if there is highway congestion during the winter solstice, when the congestion exceeds 2 kilometers, toll collection will be stopped at all toll crossings to allow vehicles to pass quickly.

You can take a free shuttle bus to visit the tomb in the future.

Currently, all cemeteries are making emergency plans for the arrival of the peak winter solstice day. All cemeteries admit that although the crowding level during the Winter Solstice is not as good as that during Qingming Festival, Shanghainese people usually have the custom of burying people at sunset during the Winter Solstice. It is estimated that the peak period for memorial services will still occur on December 21st.

Each cemetery will take its own measures in this regard. On the day before the winter solstice peak (December 12th and 19th), Fuyuan will send warm reminder text messages to all burial families to inform customers of burial instructions in advance to avoid the morning peak. From December 15th to 19th, five days before the winter solstice, citizens who take the Shanghai-Shanghai Line and Shenhai Line to visit Wanzhou's grave can reimburse their round-trip tickets with their one-way tickets.

In addition, this year, Binhai Ancient Garden promised that if the shuttle bus to the 20 outlets in the city is not late for ten minutes on the four peak days of the memorial service, citizens can take a taxi there, and all costs will be borne by the cemetery to avoid the peak days of the memorial service. The shuttle bus is late.

This winter solstice, paper cranes, mini windmills, and commemorative cards will all appear in cemeteries, allowing citizens to express their longing for their loved ones in unique ways.
