CCTV News:New infrastructure is an important part of modern infrastructure system and an important support for implementing innovation-driven development strategy and promoting high-quality economic and social development. In recent years, new infrastructure construction represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, data center and industrial Internet has shown a good development momentum, and new infrastructure construction is deeply implanted and empowering China’s economic and social development with high quality.
Shaoxing, Zhejiang: How to Realize the Smart Passage of "Smart Expressway"
In recent years, China has continuously laid out new infrastructure construction in the field of transportation, and promoted the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of transportation infrastructure from point to area. On January 19th this year, the Hangshao section of Hangshao-Ningbo Expressway connecting Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Ningbo was completed and opened to traffic. Hangzhou-Shaoyong Expressway is the expressway with the highest degree of intelligence and the most digital application in Zhejiang. Since the Hangshao section has been in operation for more than a month, the intelligent facilities of this smart expressway have been further optimized and improved. How does the wisdom highway realize the wisdom passage?
Accurate information comes from nearly 10 smart sensing devices arranged on average per kilometer on the smart highway. Since the intelligent high-speed operation for more than a month, it has actively seized more than 100 abnormal traffic incidents on expressways, such as anchoring and throwing things. These incidents can be actively discovered within an average of 5 seconds, with an active detection rate of 99%. After running for more than a month, the expressway management department has been constantly adjusting these sensing devices to make data collection more accurate.
This expressway, which has been in operation for more than a month, has crossed two important nodes, such as Spring Festival travel rush and free travel during the Spring Festival holiday. Now, with the continuous operation of Smart Expressway, more and more data will be deposited, which will make Smart Expressway more and more "smart" and provide intelligent support for the application of new scenes such as autonomous driving in the future.
Deqing, Zhejiang: The intelligent upgrade of "unmanned minibus" has brought about great changes
Deqing County, Zhejiang Province is the venue of the first United Nations World Geographic Information Conference. In recent years, the local geographic information industry has been vigorously developed, and the geographic information town has become a national geographic information industry gathering area. In 2023, Deqing County, Zhejiang Province became a national-level vehicle networking pilot area. As a pilot project for the construction of a strong transportation country, Deqing County is constantly taking advantage of its industrial advantages to launch new scenarios of driverless applications. A number of new self-driving applications, such as unmanned minibuses in scenic spots and smart sanitation sweepers, have been launched in Deqing. Let’s follow the reporters at the main station to experience the changes brought about by intelligent improvement.
As a national geographic information industry cluster, there are more than 400 related enterprises in the geographic information town of Deqing County, and a large part of them are conquering the related technologies in the field of autonomous driving. This "unmanned minibus" has 8 stops throughout, passing through an important tour route of Deqing Geographic Information Town. In fact, the unmanned minibus itself is also one of the important places to visit.
This year, Deqing County will promote intelligent sanitation application scenarios on a large scale. By the end of 2024, the area of intelligent driving sanitation and cleaning will reach about 2.9 square kilometers, exceeding 40% of the current public cleaning area in the central city.
At present, there are about 950 kilometers of roads in Deqing county, and all of them have been opened for testing. Among them, the two-way intelligent infrastructure is laid over 360 kilometers. A number of new autonomous driving applications that deeply integrate urban governance, such as smart driving buses and online car rides, will be launched one after another this year.
Continuous layout of China’s new transportation infrastructure has made positive progress.
At present, China’s traffic construction is actively integrating with new digital technologies, and information infrastructure such as Beidou and 5G is deepening its application. In addition to the construction of smart roads, the latest data shows that up to now, the mileage of the national inland river electronic waterway map has exceeded 5,700 kilometers. There are more than 40 automated container terminals built and under construction, and more than 10 million road transport and urban passenger vehicles using Beidou terminal have been installed. The application rate of Beidou system in key areas exceeds 95%. The quality of travel services continued to improve, and the regulatory effectiveness of the digital empowerment industry gradually emerged.
