Zero-error ticketing, scheduling & clearing: GBase database safeguards peak holiday traffic

During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, China's transportation system experienced a peak in passenger flow, with cross-regional mobility reaching a record high. Behind the intensive train schedules, round-the-clock flights, sprawling highway networks, and tidal surges in urban rail transit, the GBase database is quietly playing a critical role.

Rail Passenger Transport: The Data Bedrock for Over 100 Million Trips

During the dual-holiday period, national railway passenger flow remained at high levels. According to China State Railway Group, the total number of passengers transported during the holiday exceeded 100 million, with single-day volumes repeatedly surpassing 18 million.

Facing such immense passenger flow pressure, the railway ticketing system and related operation dispatching systems are under enormous strain. The GBase database supports the China State Railway Group and its local bureaus by managing over 200 TB of data storage and processing, enabling sub-second, efficient online analysis of hundreds of billions of data records. It powers accurate and smooth ticket searches and real-time booking for rail travel.

Air Transport: Stable Support Behind a Daily Average of 2.392 Million Passengers

The civil aviation sector also saw a passenger peak. Data shows that during this year’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, China's civil aviation transported a total of 19.138 million passengers, averaging 2.392 million passengers per day, a 3.2% increase from the same period in 2024.

Amid these challenges, the secure, autonomous, stable, and efficient GBase database provides foundational support for the smooth operation of the civil aviation system. It is deeply integrated into core business scenarios such as route planning, ticket availability queries, information dissemination, and cargo management, enhancing flight operational efficiency and the travel experience through optimized data services.

Expressways: Smooth Passage for Tens of Millions of Vehicles

The expressway network also faced enormous pressure during the holiday. On the first day of the holiday, Guangdong Province recorded an all-time high of 10.2911 million vehicle trips on its expressways. In Anhui Province, the daily average expressway traffic was over 5.4 million vehicle trips, up 14% year-on-year.

Faced with surging traffic, the GBase database plays a key role in core business systems such as expressway tolling, traffic monitoring, and incident management, ensuring the efficient operation of the road network.

Urban Rail Transit: A Robust Backbone for Heavy Passenger Flows

During the holiday, rail transit systems in many cities across the country faced immense passenger pressure. For example, Shenzhen North Station Hub set a new single-day record of 1.2819 million passenger trips during the holiday.

Under sustained passenger flow pressure, the GBase database provides vital support for the efficient operation of rail transit. It is now deployed in 27 cities across China and on more than 70 metro lines, covering core business modules such as Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and Automated Clearing Center (ACC) systems, breaking the monopoly of foreign databases in this field.

As new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things accelerate integration with the transportation industry, the GBase database continues to innovate. With its proven stability and performance, it is becoming a key cornerstone for building intelligent transportation. In the future, GBase will continue to safeguard every journey and inject more powerful data momentum into building a transportation powerhouse.
