[Reporter Zheng Weiqi/Taipei Report] Next weekend will be the Double Tenth National Day holiday. Although the border is about to be unblocked, many anti-epidemic actions of Taiwan's high-speed rail are still uninterrupted.

In order to serve the crowds of passengers during the evacuation period, in addition to regular cleaning and disinfection of Taiwan's high-speed rail stations and trains to implement epidemic prevention, a safe ride webpage will be set up on the official website from now on. Operation safety and anti-epidemic actions; including the first release of the actual measurement video of "in-car ventilation", so that passengers can directly see the high-speed rail car through continuous ventilation, which can complete the air circulation efficiency of the whole car in about 7 minutes, ensuring the air inside the car. circulation.

Gao Changxiu said that after the high-speed train starts, the air-circulation operation is carried out in the carriage at any time, and unlike the simple internal circulation of automobile air conditioners, the high-speed rail can continuously introduce fresh air from outside the carriage into the carriage, and then pass it through the air-conditioning system for two times. After the filtration process, it enters the car, and at the same time, the air with poor quality in the car passage and toilet is preferentially discharged out of the car, and an average of 7 minutes can complete the air replacement of the whole car.

The high-speed rail conducted an actual measurement of the air circulation system at Nangang Station today. The inside of the carriage was filled with smoke, and fresh air was introduced through the outside of the carriage. After entering the filter screen, it entered the carriage through the air-conditioning outlet under the luggage rack in the carriage. Under the seat, it takes about 6 to 8 minutes to remove all the smoke and replace it with fresh air.

In addition, on the "Disaster Prevention" page of Anxin Ride Professional, the topics of earthquake and stratum subsidence prevention that are of concern to the public are explained, and the response measures taken by the high-speed rail company against the stratum subsidence are presented in a lazy package. In line with government policies, groundwater pumping was stopped to slow down the rate of subsidence.

The service facilities page lists various passenger safety equipment and services provided by HSR stations and trains. Among them, barrier-free services and parent-child friendly facilities are a concrete demonstration of Taiwan HSR's commitment to creating friendly services; the railway safety page has "Automatic Train Control System". ” (ATC), and safety knowledge such as “Management of Adjacent Facilities and Items along the High Speed ​​Rail”.
