Industry experts' interpretation: Where should the future of the "double wisdom" city go?

Intelligent connected cars and smart city infrastructure have become ubiquitous elements of everyday life. In 2021, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will list 16 cities as pilot cities for dual intelligence, exploring the coordinated development of smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles. What ideas did the pilot cities offer? Where should the future of "double wisdom" go? These issues have become the focus of the current dual wisdom industry.

Drive construction with application scenarios

Smart city infrastructure is an important part of the "double intelligence", of which the word "infrastructure" is part of the traditional infrastructure in the eyes of many people, which means that the double wisdom should take the lead in starting large-scale hardware facilities, such as installing a large number of traffic lights with sensors at intersections, and intensively arranging radar, electronic monitoring and other equipment on the road.

Recently, at the "Expert Seminar on Dual Wisdom Construction" jointly held by Tencent Smart Transportation and Tencent Research Institute, Guo Renzhong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that "double wisdom" is an innovative exploration, and it is necessary to promote this work from multiple dimensions such as theory, technology, engineering, application, policy, standard and norms, which is the most important and the ultimate goal of double intelligence construction.

Guo Renzhong stressed that it is impossible to plan and build all the infrastructure well, and then do the application of the scene, it should be the infrastructure and related application scenarios to develop in synergy and achieve mutual achievements, and what kind of infrastructure there is now, you can start to study, excavate, and build what kind of supporting application scenarios.

Wang Xianjin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president and chief engineer of the Academy of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Transport, mentioned that smart transportation should empower smart cities, and transportation is an important application scenario to drive the innovative development of smart cities. Based on this, in the construction of the main focus on software construction, but also in the hardware to make better use of existing facilities, this concept should be implemented at the planning and deployment, policy standards and other levels, from construction to operation to be sustainable.

Combined with the experience of the pilot cities, Zhao Yixin, president of the Urban Transportation Research Branch of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, pointed out that in the process of promoting the pilot work of "double wisdom", more emphasis is placed on the drive of the scene. Because the level of infrastructure in major cities in China is still good, under the condition that the foundation is already available, combined with the specific problems of different cities, find specific application scenarios, and carry out double-intelligence pilots, which is an important entry point for the construction of dual-intelligence.

Public transportation is an important application scenario in "double wisdom". Wang Zhiqin, vice president of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, introduced the experience of Xiamen and Changsha: Xiamen's BRT system, through the 5G network for precise control, to achieve accurate parking of vehicles between BRT buses and platforms, to ensure the safety of passengers; Changsha smart bus based on LTE-V2X and traffic lights interconnection, to achieve accurate guidance, bus priority, so that the bus travel time optimization of about 13%, to enhance the experience of bus users.

"These application scenarios are one of the most important driving forces for the development of the entire dual intelligence," Wang Zhiqin said.

Zhong Xiangping, vice president of Tencent and president of Tencent Smart Transportation, supplemented the case with tencent's participation in chongqing. Tencent participated in the creation of a city-level MaaS application in Chongqing, which provides a convenient unified entrance for travel services such as real-time bus, local characteristic navigation, road condition clairvoyance, parking space reservation, road traffic reservation and traffic government affairs.

"People-centered" is the core of "double intelligence"

With the advent of the digital tide, more and more elements in the city have been endowed with the concept of digital and intelligent, but for the people, some functions are not strong in perception, and even called "flashy". Therefore, at this seminar, there is a sentence that has been repeatedly mentioned by experts: people-centered.

For the embodiment of "people-centered" in the double wisdom, Guo Renzhong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the development of "double wisdom" should mainly focus on urban transportation, especially the problem of urban road traffic.

Guo Renzhong said that now many applications in the field of intelligent transportation, such as navigation systems, intelligent signal lights, etc., the technology has been very mature, the user's physical feeling is also very good, but it can not fundamentally solve the problem of urban congestion, so the dual wisdom to the development of intelligent transportation, brings an important opportunity.

Referring to the understanding of "people-centered", Wang Xianjin clearly pointed out that in the field of transportation and travel, it is necessary to let the people have a sense of happiness and security, and be satisfied in many aspects such as convenience and economy. If you look at it from this perspective, smart transportation has already done a lot, and it will do more in the future.

Shi Xuesong, vice president of Tencent's smart transportation, believes that from Tencent's point of view, people-centered is actually more people into the traffic environment, and then the improvement results made by Tencent in the traffic direction are reversed to users.

Shi Xuesong combined with Tencent's participation in the project in Changsha pointed out that Tencent relies on multi-source dynamic and static big data to excavate the public's accurate travel needs, combine the load of local bus lines and the sharing rate of buses, and use intelligent algorithms to connect all the stations involved into lines, so as to achieve the scheduling, scheduling and actual operation of customized buses and responsive buses, and solve various pain points of urban users in the process of taking buses and operating and maintaining personnel, which is the embodiment of "people-centered".

As a representative of technology companies, Tencent has participated in the construction of dual intelligence in a number of pilot cities. Zhong Xiangping said that Tencent will always be people-centered, using the technology accumulation of the past 20 years, and will work with ecological partners to continuously open up key elements such as people, cars, roads, clouds, maps, and networks in the construction of "double intelligence", promote the integration of digital reality, help management departments improve service capabilities, help enterprises achieve cost reduction and efficiency, and also bring more high-quality and smarter services to every ordinary person in the city, and enhance the public's sense of gain and happiness.

Multi-party participation can build "double wisdom"

Behind the construction of "double wisdom" is a huge chain, spanning multiple industries, each industry in different links, different division of labor, need to cooperate closely. Therefore, if the positioning and role of each industry are clear, it has also become an important issue in the current development of dual intelligence.

In the view of Zhang Yongwei, secretary general and chief expert of the China Electric Vehicle 100 Association, "double wisdom" has promoted the automobile revolution and brought about major institutional innovations and industrial innovations in urban development. Cross-field collaboration and cross-industry integration are needed. Now that the shuangzhi industry is in the early stage of development, the primary task at present is to cultivate this industry well and make the cake bigger. How different players are positioned correctly is crucial to whether the industry can be sustainable.

Zhang Yongwei proposed five role positioning in the construction of dual wisdom:

The first is at the national level, it is necessary to solve the problem of direction and top-level design, do a good job in the connection of cross-departmental and cross-industry development, coordinate technical routes, and allocate the functions of cars, roads, and cities. In addition, Shuangzhi needs institutional innovation and unified standards, and the regulations related to intelligent vehicles, data management systems, and standard systems can make Shuangzhi run quickly and allow industries to effectively coordinate.

The second is the local level, mainly local governments, "double wisdom" is not a simple economic growth goal, it is to pay for innovation and increase investment in the early stage, local governments can share part of the investment for some dual wisdom intelligent infrastructure, and even into the local capital construction investment. In addition, local governments should open up various scenarios and data for "double wisdom", so that data can be opened up, can generate value, and can be truly applied.

The third is the head enterprise. The head enterprise is the most reliable market force that "double wisdom" can continue to promote. Take the application scenarios that the city really needs as the focus of work, take a long-term view, and invest enough time and resources to solve the key problems of urban traffic management and resident travel.

The fourth is that small and medium-sized enterprises must rely on a large number of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises with innovative spirit to enrich the dual-intelligence ecology.

The fifth is the application side that is full of various fields in the city, including government departments such as urban management and sanitation, as well as industry departments such as public transportation and taxis, which must truly believe that "double wisdom" can solve problems for cities, truly establish digital thinking, and solve urban development problems through digitization and networking.

In the course of the discussion, "standard first" has also become a high-frequency vocabulary. Wang Zhiqin stressed that 5G Vehicle Networking is an important foundation for the development of "double intelligence". In order to truly realize the large-scale development from bonsai to scenery in the application scenario of the Internet of Vehicles, the technical standards are very important. Relying on the 5G Internet of Vehicles, the focus is on the technical fields such as networked communication, "edge-area-center" multi-level platform and roadside perception system, as well as application scenarios such as assisted driving and vehicle-road collaborative automatic driving.

In the process of standard construction, Tencent is also actively playing the role of technology companies. According to Shi Xuesong, in the past practice, Tencent has also combined product research and development, especially in the practice of the pilot area of the Internet of Vehicles and the pilot of the double wisdom, it has continuously improved the standardization of products, such as taking the lead in promoting the construction and improvement of the pan-V2X standard system, carrying out the formulation of intelligent networked bus standards, giving full play to the leading role of the standard, and promoting the formation of an open ecology.

With the popularization of intelligent networked vehicles and the gradual improvement of smart city infrastructure, dual wisdom has become the trend of the times, shouldering the important responsibility of making people's travel happier. More and more technology companies like Tencent will continue to join the tide of dual-intelligence construction, and continue to promote the sustainable development of "people-centered" dual-intelligence cities, so that the people have a greater sense of happiness.
