The pilot has reached 20 locations, and Shanghai has a new trick to solve the pain points of urban grid management
Shanghai has a new way to solve the pain points of grid management. Recently, the project "Construction and Application Demonstration of Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Control Platform for Major Municipal Infrastructure in Cities", a special result of the National Key R&D Program led by Shanghai enterprises, passed the acceptance. It has been piloted in 20 smart operation scenarios of municipal infrastructure in Shanghai.
Imagine the entire city as a big chessboard, divided into many small grids, each of which is a "grid". These "grids" include streets and communities, and have their own managers who are responsible for all matters that occur within the grid. Many problems can be "discovered, reported and resolved early". 20 years ago, Shanghai began to explore grid management, becoming a model for the refined governance of this megacity, but the problems exposed by years of operation still need to be solved.
"Grid management has several major pain points and cannot meet the new needs of urban management." On June 27, Shao Changyu, chief engineer of Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute, said at the "Digital Intelligence Empowering People's City Construction and Innovative Development" Shanghai Smart City Innovation Development Achievements Docking and Exchange Seminar that these pain points include: little perceived information, mostly relying on manual collection; 24-hour continuous collection has not yet been achieved; at night or in remote areas, there is insufficient linkage and coordination, and personnel response is not timely.
The "Construction and Application Demonstration of Intelligent Operation, Maintenance and Control Platform for Major Urban Municipal Infrastructure" led by Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute is a special achievement of the National Key R&D Program "Key Technologies and Demonstrations of Internet of Things and Smart Cities". The purpose is to build a comprehensive intelligent system that can provide comprehensive coverage, all-weather, intelligent analysis and early warning.
Shao Changyu introduced that the project is mainly based on three key technologies and a platform, namely, ubiquitous access technology for multi-state mixed environments, multi-source fusion intelligent sensing terminal technology, multi-scenario municipal facility command and control technology, and municipal facility intelligent operation and maintenance control platform. In the five major municipal infrastructures of underground pipelines, urban roads, urban sanitation, applied fire protection, and urban water services, a series of complex models are used to ultimately achieve timely monitoring and various data sharing.
For example, in the urban sanitation scenario, we developed a reliable electronic nose sensing terminal for garbage odor gas. The terminal can monitor a variety of odorous gases and work with AI cameras to automatically detect garbage piles and dumps. In the underground pipeline scenario, we developed a pipeline inspection robot that can be used for daily inspection, maintenance, and flood control emergency command of pipelines. For urban road scenarios, we use road traffic monitoring video data and digital twin technology to achieve vehicle tracking, capture vehicle micro-features, and realize early warning analysis of tunnel traffic safety.
The reporter learned that relevant research has been piloted in 20 intelligent operation and maintenance control scenarios of municipal facilities in Shanghai, covering all districts. For example, in the underground pipelines in the Qiantan area of Shanghai, the intelligent operation and maintenance and control system architecture and application system of the drainage network are constructed to monitor and manage the water accumulation, pipeline safety, sewage discharge and other data in real time. In the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge, a demonstration application of smart traffic video analysis and reconstruction was carried out, using artificial intelligence technology to dynamically analyze and track traffic conditions in the tunnel, shortening the judgment of traffic conditions and accident detection time. In many communities in Shanghai, a demonstration application of secondary water supply health monitoring was carried out. The intelligent sensing terminal for secondary water supply health monitoring developed by the project can monitor indicators such as pH, turbidity, and residual chlorine concentration in water in real time to ensure water safety.
In the municipal facilities scenario, the Baoshan Taihe Sewage Treatment Plant built an operation and maintenance auxiliary system. By building a database for the quality control system and using BIM technology to reconstruct the water plant data, it can achieve real-time monitoring of the equipment operation status. For emergency firefighting scenarios, the AR smart glasses developed by the project have been piloted in the inspection of firefighting facilities in the pedestrian passage of the Hongqiao Hub, providing remote maintenance guidance and information access.
The "Digital Intelligence Empowers People's City Construction and Innovative Development" Shanghai Smart City Innovation and Development Achievements Matching and Exchange Seminar is guided by the Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Commission, Shanghai Housing and Urban-Rural Development Management Committee, and Yangpu District People's Government of Shanghai, and hosted by Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., Yangpu District Science and Technology and Economic Committee, and Shanghai Investment Promotion Service Center, and co-organized by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation Digital Technology Group Co., Ltd., Tongji University, and Shanghai Internet of Things Industry Association.
