2. Strengthen joint control

During the operation, the joint control of trains, trains and guards shall be conscientiously implemented, and the wireless dispatching and communication equipment of trains shall be fully utilized to understand the situation of lines and flood conditions, so as to be aware of them. Implement the report system according to the regulations.

 

3. Look carefully

Operation in stormy weather, single-driver on-duty to double-driver on-duty. Drivers should strengthen their lookout during operation, and pay attention to the status of lines, bridges, and catenary at all times, especially when they are close to easy-to-fall trees, landslides, rockfall, line sinking sites, and key flood control areas, and they should be more vigilant. When the situation in front is unclear, the impact of the lookout cannot guarantee driving safety, and when you see the protective signal of the protective personnel, you must decisively take measures to slow down or stop, and notify the nearest station of the situation.

 

4. Resolutely slow down or stop

①. When the situation ahead is unclear, driving safety cannot be guaranteed because of the impact on the lookout, or when you see the protective signal of the protective personnel, you must decisively take measures to slow down or stop, rather stop by mistake than drive blindly, and notify the nearest station of the situation.

 

②. When the flood reaches the shoulder of the road, the train should run at the prescribed speed limit: when falling rocks, fallen trees and other obstacles endanger driving safety, the driver should stop immediately, remove the obstacle and confirm that it is safe before continuing to run.

 

③. When a train encounters emergencies that endanger driving safety, such as line collapse and empty track bed, the driver should immediately take emergency safety measures and immediately notify the tracking train, adjacent trains and nearby stations. Trains equipped with train protection and alarm devices should first be protected with train protection and alarm devices.

 

④. During the operation of the EMU train, if the driver finds that the water is higher than the rail surface, he should stop immediately and report to the train dispatcher (station duty officer), and confirm the driving conditions with the on-board mechanic according to the situation on the spot or request rescue.

 

⑤. During the flood control period, for Level 1 flood control sites, if the train fails to respond to three calls, measures to slow down or stop should be taken. After stopping, report to the nearest station, and continue to carry out the joint control of the aircraft. Only after getting a clear answer can you drive according to the relevant regulations.
