Ministry of Transportation: Accelerate the application of "artificial intelligence + inspection", and speed up the construction of the "human inspection + technical inspection" system.

On April 9th, the Ministry of Transport held a video deployment meeting on the road safety risk control during the flood season in 2026. The meeting emphasized the need to deeply understand the current situation facing the road safety risk control during the flood season, adhere to focusing on effectiveness, highlighting proactiveness, strengthening precision, and seeking stability while making progress, comprehensively implement all tasks related to road safety risk control during the flood season. There is a need to update the "to-do list", continue to carry out map overlaying, thoroughly conduct risk and hidden danger inspections, and strengthen the closed-loop management of risk and hidden dangers. It is important to strengthen early warning response, classify and forward early warning information, strengthen the closed-loop response to early warnings, and optimize the verification methods for early warning responses. It is essential to enhance road patrols, strictly implement patrol requirements, strengthen supervision of patrol situations, accelerate the application of "artificial intelligence + patrol", and expedite the construction of the "human patrol + technical patrol" system. Furthermore, there is a need to strengthen proactive defense and control, further refine and improve proactive defense and control standards and specific work measures, expand information dissemination channels, and timely release travel advisory information. It is important to enhance the capability of pre-positioned forces, improve pre-positioned force locations, detail pre-positioned force standards, and establish an emergency force "map". In addition, there is a need to enhance monitoring and early warning capabilities, accelerate the deployment of monitoring and early warning facilities, optimize provincial monitoring and early warning information systems, and enhance warning and interception capabilities. It is crucial to enhance the capacity for intrinsic safety, continuously advance safety resilience improvement projects, strictly control survey and design at the source, and conduct in-depth special governance actions.
