Smart transportation facilitates travel during the Asian Games
With the opening of the Asian Games coming soon, the travel services of the Asian Games will be more high-quality and efficient with the help of cloud computing, big data and mobile Internet technology.
During the Asian Games, it is expected that over 36000 participating athletes, team officials, technical officials, media reporters, and others will arrive in Hangzhou. Commuting, arrival and departure, social transportation, material transportation, and livelihood security are intertwined in time and space. At the same time, with the addition of the Mid Autumn Festival, National Day, and Qiantang River tidal observation, Hangzhou will experience a large-scale flow of people and vehicles, resulting in a sharp increase in traffic pressure. The same goes for co hosting cities. Taking Shaoxing, the co host city with the most projects, as an example, the city will hold five events during the Asian Games, including basketball and volleyball. At that time, urban road traffic and passenger flow pressure will face challenges.
"By leveraging the advantages of digital governance, digital dedicated lanes for the Asian Games will be set up on 26 roads, relying on big data calculations to improve road efficiency. While ensuring the safety and punctuality of competition vehicles, drivers are allowed to temporarily borrow dedicated lanes to minimize the impact on citizens and tourists' travel." said Zheng Hanxian, Director of the Hangzhou Transportation Bureau.
How to further enhance the capacity of public transportation support in the face of "stress testing"? Zheng Hanxian said that in terms of subway, Hangzhou will extend the rush hour operation time in the morning and evening based on the passenger flow of each line, and key lines will be organized to operate during peak hours throughout the weekend; In terms of public transportation, we will optimize and adjust the operation plan of key routes in stages, and increase the investment in the capacity of backbone routes. In addition, Hangzhou has established 24 Asian Games taxi vanguard service teams to comprehensively strengthen emergency transportation capacity support in case of emergencies.
In Zhejiang, from urban transportation to cross city travel, from the "first mile" to the "last mile", information technology is deeply integrated with the transportation industry, and new products and models continue to emerge, ensuring that people have a good travel experience.
Equipped with radar and visual cameras, resembling a spacecraft, with neither a cab nor a steering wheel... On the road outside the baseball sports and cultural center in Shaoxing, autonomous buses are connecting with spectators. The auto drive system carried by this bus can realize coverage scanning near the body, thus completing lane keeping, super cruise, automatic obstacle avoidance and other functions. During the Asian Games, autonomous buses will provide shuttle services to baseball stadiums and subway stations for spectators.
In order to make parking easier and faster for audiences and citizens, Keqiao District in Shaoxing City has launched a smart parking renovation project. Liang Bo, the leader of the Smart Parking Project Team at Shaoxing Mobile Keqiao Branch, introduced that after the launch of the "Smart Parking" digital application, citizens can temporarily park for no more than 30 minutes for free, and fees will be charged according to the parking time and road section during the extended period.
