The Transportation Operation Center of the 7th Military World Games held a transportation security drill for the Games' opening ceremony on the 25th. In line with the philosophy of "green, open, shared, and thrifty" event organization, Wuhan is mobilizing the entire transportation industry to ensure smooth transportation support for the opening ceremony. The drill aims to test the processes and details of various special transportation security tasks, accumulate experience, and improve plans to ensure safe, stable, and orderly transportation during the opening ceremony.
During the Games, the transportation security will involve approximately 75,000 personnel and 3,000 vehicles, undertaking the transportation tasks for officials and athletes from delegations of over 100 member states, registered media personnel, members of the International Military Sports Council (CISM) family, technical officials, anti-doping inspectors, relevant staff, sponsor representatives, leaders and entourages of the Organizing Committee, international dignitaries and their entourages, personnel from embassies and consulates, international observation groups, large event participants, volunteers, etc. This includes airport/train station pick-up and drop-off, transportation for the opening and closing ceremonies, competitions, and public transportation security.
The security locations mainly cover 1 Military Village, 1 Media Center, 51 competition venues, over 90 reception hotels, and 4 transportation hubs (1 civil airport and 3 railway stations). The security work focuses on transportation support for arrival/departure, opening/closing ceremonies, and 27 major events with 328 sub-events.
Core personnel for transportation security include drivers and volunteers. There are more than 2,000 drivers from cities across China. Starting in July this year, they underwent professional training, and experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were specially invited to conduct psychological screenings to ensure their mental fitness. All security vehicles are "new cars" within three years of purchase, and drivers are required to perform daily maintenance and cleaning on their vehicles. According to different passenger groups, large and medium-sized security vehicles are divided into three colors: blue, green, and red.
More than 80 Eagle electric sightseeing vehicles participate in the transportation work of the Games. With their vibrant colors and exquisite bodies, they stand out when driving on the East Lake Greenway.
According to passenger flow needs, regular bus routes operate southbound and northbound. Meanwhile, 400 pure electric taxis are organized to designated locations for supply, ensuring sufficient transport capacity at the (targeted security points) of the Military Village.
