Recently, a semi-trailer caught fire on the highway, and the express packages on the vehicle almost burned down, causing heavy losses. Fortunately, everyone was safe. A big fire burns up everything, giving the logistics industry and truck drivers a lesson: "Safety first, drive carefully"!

According to the investigation, the fire was caused by the long downhill braking and heating of the semi-trailer, and the rear wheel caught fire, causing the combustion of the trailer compartment.

Accidents like semi trailer fire caused by high temperature occur from time to time. As watchers, we should think deeply about whether effective measures can be taken to prevent such accidents to the maximum extent.

Here, I propose to all drivers:

1. Drive at low gear on long slopes, curves and mountain roads to reduce frequent braking

The brake of freight cars is generally drum brake. Frequent braking will cause the temperature of the brake drum to rise rapidly, which will lead to tire burning.

Therefore, it is recommended to drive at low gear on long slopes, curves and mountain roads to reduce frequent braking. Especially in the summer high temperature period, some auxiliary braking should be reasonably used to control the downhill speed. Even when the braking efficiency of the vehicle is poor, it is recommended to stop and repair before going on the road.

2. Select reliable brand tires

At present, there are many good and bad tire brands on the market. Choose reliable semi-trailer brand tires instead of low-grade tires, and avoid using San Bao tires; Select tyres with different tread patterns according to wheel position, vehicle type and road conditions.

3. Regular inspection

Previous data shows that "improper tire maintenance is the culprit of vehicle accidents".

Tires are essential items, but they are also wearing consumables. Therefore, regular inspection of tires is more important. Therefore, it is very necessary to appeal to all drivers to measure the pressure, temperature, trauma, aging, pattern depth, and regular rotation of tires at high frequency.

4. Real time monitoring

If tire maintenance is static protection, real-time tire monitoring is real-time dynamic protection!

The use of intelligent terminals can just judge the tire temperature and pressure scientifically and accurately, and inform managers and drivers in a timely manner; This can greatly avoid potential safety hazards caused by delayed monitoring.

Moreover, if the trailer car in the accident is equipped with smoke detection in advance, the sound alarm will be given in time when the fire is budding, which can also prevent the situation from becoming serious and causing a lot of losses

For example, at present, Dongfang Post Station has developed an intelligent terminal E-Box for trailer tire detection, smoke detection and other functions, so as to provide real-time monitoring for drivers in terms of trailer safety.

In addition to the monitoring of tires, cars, etc., it is recommended to use anti lock devices in terms of braking safety, which can ensure that the vehicle will not be locked; It also avoids tire burning caused by sudden heating of brake drum due to emergency braking.

As mentioned above, only one of the many functions of the intelligent trailer is on the ice, such as disc brake, air suspension, running track, reversing blind spot monitoring, electronic control suspension system, EBS anti rollover... These will also become the standard configuration of the intelligent trailer of Dongfang Post Station.

In a word, driving is a technical activity, and it is a science to "drive a good car, drive on a safe road and return safely". Rely on your own feelings and despise the inspection, lacking the necessary monitoring means, it is bound to be unable to minimize the risk. Therefore, take effective security measures to ensure your travel.
