Key points in this article
The pre-holiday sweep
Before major holidays, transport, power and operators sweep highway service-area stalls—checking interfaces, wiring and cooling—to clear faults so problems are 'found early, fixed early'. Round-the-clock network monitoring flags congestion and pushes diversions across channels.
What experts recommend
Experts urge stronger holiday price oversight against arbitrary hikes, a fast complaint-response system with 'report-to-repair' for faulty stalls, 'tidal' management using AI to forecast and pre-position across sites, and extreme-weather contingency plans.
Yantai's proactive O&M
Community shelters must maintain ahead too. Dongdian Huichong's Yantai shelters run 24/7 backend monitoring and regular patrols, turning O&M from reactive repair into proactive inspection so every scan-and-charge rests on reliable gear and prompt support.
