Lu Baohua： the ingenuity of railway ＂soil experts＂

Xintai Line, which is under the jurisdiction of Jinan Railway Depot, Jinan Railway Bureau, has many crossings, pedestrians and vehicles. The attendant in the driving room promptly informs the crossing workers that there is a train passing by, so as to prevent the problem of "mistakes, omissions and forgetfulness", which is very important for crossing safety. Since the development and application of crossing warning system in this section, whenever a train approaches the station, the system will send out a voice warning to remind the duty officer to inform the crossing workers, and the crossing safety has realized double insurance of machine control and human control.

The person who developed this crossing prompt system is Lu Baohua, the director of the technical department of Jinan Railway Depot. Over the years, Lu Baohua has researched and developed more than 40 safety management application systems. At the end of last year, he became an outstanding professional in the first batch of "1231" backbone talents project of Jinan Railway Bureau, and enjoyed the talent allowance.

From "soil expert" to "programming expert"

It’s true that Lu Baohua is a "soil expert". He graduated from high school, has no training in programming professional systems, and has been studying hard just because he likes to study electrical maintenance and computer technology, and has become a "master" who can write programs and software. 　　

In 1986, Lu Baohua worked as a connector at Zaoyuan Station for two years, and then transferred to Duan to be responsible for the maintenance of shunting walkie-talkies, which lasted for more than 30 years.

During his work, Lu Baohua became interested in computers. At that time, the price of a desktop computer was 30 thousand to 40 thousand yuan, while the monthly income of employees was only 100 yuan. In order to study computer principles and learn programming techniques, Lu Baohua saved 2000 yuan, bought motherboards and accessories, and assembled an 8086 computer with a shoe box as the chassis and a black-and-white TV as the screen. It is this machine that runs DOS system, has no mouse and hard disk, and has opened another field that he still loves today — — Computer programming.

The road to study and study technology is boring, but the experience of exploring new knowledge is happy. In order to understand the programming language, he dug out the high school textbook again and carefully reviewed English words; In order to understand the concept of function, he humbly asked young students; In order to adapt to the hardware upgrade, he scrimped and saved to update accessories.

Heaven rewards diligence. After several years of self-study, Lu Baohua mastered the programming technology. In 2000, he completed the compilation of the home page of the first office network in the train operation depot. Today, the homepage of Duan Office Network, which has been revised by him for many times, has maintained stable and efficient operation.

Concentrate on programming and take the lead

In 2004, Lu Baohua undertook the important task of developing the "Safety Management Information System" in the section. Compared with office web pages, this system is more logical and complicated to write.

Combining his years of driving experience, he began a difficult climb in the field of programming. He learned and tried again and again, analyzing function by function, testing module by module, writing down millions of bytes of code, and often reinventing himself because of a new inspiration and a new idea.

After half a year’s unremitting efforts, the "Safety Management Information System" has been developed and successfully put into use. Section safety management, information reporting and problem handling have been networked, open and visualized, and safety management has become more standardized and efficient. In 2005, "Safety Management Information System" won the third prize of scientific and technological progress of Jinan Railway Bureau.

Since then, Lu Baohua has provoked the whole system development, and successfully completed one management system after another. His newly developed version of "Safety Management Assessment System" has realized the intelligent management of safety problem entry, inquiry, statistics and assessment, greatly improved the work efficiency and made the assessment more open and transparent. The "Construction Management System" developed by him manages all the information such as construction content, registered stations, related stations, speed limit, safety measures, marking and controlling personnel, etc., and the formulation, review and approval of construction safety measures and operation processes are all carried out online, and the safety agreements signed with various units are also entered into the system, which makes the responsibilities and rights of construction safety management more clear and the process records well documented.

Strive for Excellence and pursue the ultimate

Lu Baohua is a persevering person who strives for perfection, and constantly revises and perfects the developed system to achieve perfection. The "Electronic Account Management System" developed by him was officially put into use in January this year. Information such as which reports each station needs to report, whether there is any omission or late reporting, whether the account records are filled in in time, etc. can be seen at a glance on the Internet, and the account is paperless.

Although the system has won unanimous praise from cadres and workers after its application, Lu Baohua feels that there is still room for improvement. He pointed to the computer screen and said, "When you look at this spreadsheet, when you pull it down, you can only see the numbers line by line, but you can’t see the column contents above, which is very inconvenient, so I made an improvement to make the column contents move down automatically with the table, so that even if you look at the numbers in the bottom line, you can know which column contents it is." Lu Baohua said this problem, many people will encounter at work, but he used his "super brain" to solve this problem for everyone.

Lu Baohua, 53 years old, has an ingenuity of Excellence and perfection under his ordinary appearance. He said: "every management system developed is a work made with painstaking efforts. Striving for perfection is my pursuit of work and the joy of my life." (Text/Jing Hui Wang Tian)
