In the History of Urban Development, Lewis Mumford believes that the basic feature of modern cities is the increasing traffic orientation. The development of transportation brings about the reconstruction of social boundaries and the transfer of social ties. It can be said that transportation modernization has redefined the attributes of modern human life and world outlook, and the efficiency and quality of transportation have also become the key factors that determine the competitiveness of countries and regions.

For decades, Chinese people have had a comprehensive and profound understanding of the rejuvenation of the country by transportation. In the construction tide that began in 2008, high-speed rail, expressways and urban transport infrastructure have become the main construction targets, providing a strong driving force for China's economic development today. When the "new infrastructure" starts, the new generation of digital facilities represented by 5G, cloud and AI have become the new foundation and momentum of various industries, while the transportation industry also bears the brunt. Digital and intelligent transportation is not only a hot topic in industry, university and politics in recent years, but also the direction of national construction.

Under this background, how to understand the change logic of "transportation + digital technology" more deeply in the cycle of "new infrastructure", and how to build a digital and intelligent transportation system with great-leap-forward development? it has become a new and challenging social proposition. Connecting the new generation of digital technology and the transportation industry requires not only technology and services, but also insight, understanding and communication of the transportation industry itself. We have discussed some topics related to Huawei's "knowledge". Let's face the key industries and deepen the industry logic of the industry representatives: in the transportation system that connects thousands of households, Huawei "knows the line" how to give full play to its value. bring intelligent upgrading of traffic scenes, a key opportunity for the digital transformation of the transportation industry.

Transportation and digital technology are unprecedentedly intertwined in the "new infrastructure" system, and how to make the two move from theoretical feasibility to omni-directional integration requires "knowledgeable" people to integrate the two.

This is the "traffic" of the new era, from the "know-how" to the new infrastructure.

Crossroads: the difficulty and Challenge of Digital upgrading in Transportation Industry

Since the reform and opening up, China's great progress in the field of transportation can be called a global model. At present, China has ranked first in the world in terms of the number of 10,000-ton berths in high-speed railways, highways, urban rail transit and ports.

However, the so-called heavy task and a long way to go, the transformation of a large country with a population of 1.4 billion from a big transportation country to a traffic power is a challenge that China's transportation must deal with and complete in the next stage. At present, the 19th CPC National Congress has promoted the "traffic power" to the national strategy. In September 2019, the "Traffic Power Construction outline" pointed out the direction for the future traffic power construction and planning.

In the strategy of a powerful transportation country, a key exploration and the only way is to use the new generation of digital technology to accelerate the digital transformation of the transportation industry. In particular, the new infrastructure system, which uses 5G, cloud, AI and other digital technologies as the key support, is not only the best development opportunity of the transportation power strategy in the current cycle, but also the industrial digital integration that must be completed.

From the construction of physical transportation network to the development of digital transportation system, and from traffic informatization to traffic intelligence, a series of challenges bring us to the digital crossroads. The real challenges faced by traffic digitization not only stay in the stage of technology and solutions, but also include the discovery and solution of a series of problems, such as development ideas, development models, supporting facilities, industrial ecology and so on.

Lu Haikong, general manager of Huawei's China government and enterprise transportation business department, believes that after the digital transformation of the transportation industry into the deep water zone, it is easier to know than to do for enterprises in the industry, and there is an urgent need for people who "know what to do" to sort out the needs of digital transformation with them. fill the "huge gap" between traditional business scenarios and the application of digital technology.

To sum up, in the proposition of digital transformation of the transportation industry, the main challenges are:

1. There are many technical fields involved, across many sub-industries, fields and scenarios, which need the comprehensive integration and platform development of technological integration and industrial coordination.

2. The services and requirements involved are very complex, so it is necessary to deeply integrate digital technology and re-innovate to adapt to the core business needs. Technology suppliers need to understand the particularity and comprehensiveness of each traffic link, and need to understand the unique development law of the transportation industry.

3. The wide range of traffic network connection and the complexity of geographical space form a comprehensive test of ICT technology, especially a deep test of connection and computing ability.

4. Traffic itself has a very unique demand for safety, reliability and long-term development characteristics, and it has a certain degree of contradiction with the continuous iterative and rapid development of digital technology. How to establish a balance between the rapid development of digital technology and the stable long-term demand of the transportation industry is also a key topic to test all walks of life in the industry.

To solve this series of problems and challenges, the core method is that ICT technology suppliers not only understand traffic, but also understand digital technology, standing in the technology trend, immersed in the real traces of the transportation industry, to help traffic sort out their own opportunities and demands. Only in this way can we realize the comprehensive and profound integration of digital technology into every road, every station and every speeding vehicle in the proposition of "new transportation infrastructure".

The encounter and integration of Huawei's "know-how" and the transportation industry has come to a certain conclusion.

Contending for the best: digital technology is fully integrated into the "new transportation infrastructure"

The value that "know-how" brings into the transportation industry is not just a theoretical model or value deduction. Fundamentally speaking, "knowing business" is more like a concept of industry practice and a methodology for industry exploration on the base of technology and experience. As far as the transportation field is concerned, the value of "knowing the line" is the technical inclusiveness provided by Huawei, which is more targeted to the specific business problems of the transportation industry, so as to realize the "1: 1 > 2" in the proposition of digital transportation transformation. In this waterway, we can already witness the case of digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of traffic in full bloom, and the value of Huawei's "knowledge" is also deeply embedded in it. We can take a look at several traffic cases that "understand" and "travel", so as to understand how "knowing" drives digital technology to be fully integrated into the needs of transportation "new infrastructure" and core business scenarios:

1. Understand the technical cooperation and provide a complete base for the digital transformation of transportation.

A series of new digital technologies, such as 5G, Cloud, AI and so on, constitute the core of the new infrastructure system. On the way to digital transformation, it is very likely that the comprehensive control and effective combination of technology is needed. This is obviously a great challenge to the original talents and technical capabilities in the transportation field, and Huawei's comprehensive technological advantages make the ability to understand technological collaboration into the core business scene of the transportation industry.

For example, China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group joined hands with Huawei to apply 5G vehicle-to-ground high-speed dump and AI intelligent analysis solution to daily locomotive operation for the first time, realizing the deep integration of "5G+AI" technology and railway locomotive. In railway locomotives, an "interchange" produces dozens of GB traffic safety, equipment status and 6A video data, which are of great value to the safe operation of the train and the whole life cycle management of the locomotive. However, at present, these data dumps mainly rely on manual inspection and monitoring, and the low efficiency also contains the risk of data loss and damage.

In order to solve this problem, Huawei uses AirFlash 5G technology to dump 30GB data in 3 minutes without human intervention, the data dump is safe and efficient, and the overall dump efficiency is increased by 13 times. After the data is dumped, the 6A video is intelligently analyzed by AI and big data technology, and the locomotive attendants are evaluated comprehensively, which promotes the operation behavior of locomotive attendants to be more standardized, ensures the safety of train operation, and realizes the prediction and management of the whole life cycle of locomotive key components. In this case, the connection innovation brought about by 5G has been fully integrated with big data system and AI analysis capabilities, which is no longer a digital upgrade in the traditional sense. To realize this value, we need to understand the technology collaboration and realize the innovative scenario solution of the technology integration core business.

2. Understand the core of the industry and systematize to meet the needs of the transportation system

The characteristic of the transportation industry is to organize a large number of infrastructure, services and departmental systems around the core travel needs, which leads to the complexity of the traffic scene is far greater than the general sense of the enterprise or commercial complex. Take the airport as an example, which involves many systems, such as shipping, aviation department, airport service, integrated security, ground handling system and so on. It is like a small city with extremely high efficiency and strict security. To carry out digital transformation and upgrade services for the airport, we not only need to understand the technology, but also need to have a comprehensive "understanding" of the airport system and airport business requirements, around the core business scenarios, give targeted scenario solutions to drive the transformation.

Starting from 2018, Shenzhen Airport and Huawei have comprehensively carried out the digital transformation of the future airport. For the first time, this action applied a variety of technologies and solutions, such as big data, AI, and video intelligent analysis, to key businesses such as airport flight guarantee and production operations, the construction of safety management and control system, and the promotion of on-site passenger services, creating multiple scene solutions of "one operation map", "one travel face" and "safety one net", realizing the deep integration of technology and business.

At present, with the help of Huawei, Shenzhen Baoan Airport has realized intelligent seat allocation through big data and AI technology, realizing intelligent and automatic dynamic adjustment of the seat allocation business, which used to take a lot of time and effort, and the distribution result and quality have been greatly improved, and millions of passengers entering and leaving Shenzhen no longer have to take the ferry every year. In terms of passenger service, face recognition self-service customs clearance is also realized with the help of AI and other technologies, which greatly improves the efficiency of passengers in many links such as security check, waiting and boarding, reduces the frequent use of documents, and optimizes and upgrades the passenger service experience. In addition, through video intelligent analysis and big data integration, Shenzhen Airport realizes the collaborative linkage of the original distributed security system, and constructs a three-dimensional airport security system, which greatly reduces the airport security risk and improves the security margin. These schemes which are deeply integrated with industry business fully reflect the new speed and efficiency of digital airport operation, security and service in the era of "new infrastructure".

3. Understand integration and innovation to help the transportation industry to develop in a breakthrough way.

Knowing the technology and the industry is not all about the image of "knowing the profession". The higher level of the integration of the two is to carry out integration and innovation on the basis of communication technology and industry, so as to provide a great-leap-forward iterative driving force for the development of the transportation industry. For example, the self-driving industry is the inevitable future of the development of the transportation industry, and how to aim at autopilot in the comprehensive traffic construction, explore and layout the future travel in advance has become an urgent task for today's transportation industry.

At the end of 2018, Huawei, together with Beijing IPO Group, car factory and other parties, extended the Beijing section of Jingli Expressway to Beijing at the design speed of 80Km/ hours, and conducted the world's first demonstration of "vehicle-road coordination & autopilot" under the actual highway scene, which took a key step towards intelligent high-speed landing. In 2019, with the help of C-V2X vehicle-road coordination technology, high-precision tunnel positioning technology and high-precision mapping technology, we will continue to carry out L4-level autopilot and fleet formation full-scene testing of various types of vehicles, accumulating experience for the future transformation and upgrading of intelligent highways, auxiliary driving, the preparation of self-driving technical standards, engineering and technical verification, commercial innovation and operation. Today's transportation industry has come to the tipping point of fully integrating digital technology and heading for the era of wisdom. Hand in hand to the future, is also the core call of the transportation industry to the ICT industry.

4. Understand top-level design and give omni-directional support to new transportation infrastructure.

The digital transformation of the transportation industry is not only the technical blessing of roads, cars and stations, but also involves a series of complex business operation, policy design, industrial security, humanistic care and other issues. These problems should not be ignored or ignored, but should be built on the basis of effective understanding of technology and industry, prediction in advance and construction in advance. In the process of helping the digital transformation of the transportation industry, Huawei also plays a series of "partner" roles such as consulting, service, joint innovation and ecological construction, providing ecological and multi-dimensional support for new transportation infrastructure. Join hands with the transportation industry to enter an inclusive and innovative travel future.

On the whole, Huawei believes that the new transportation infrastructure should build a system of "digital perception", "ubiquitous connection", "digital platform" and "intelligent application". Strengthen the sustained and in-depth application of 5G, Internet of things, edge computing, machine vision and other technologies, and accelerate the digitization of transport vehicles, equipment, road networks, hubs, stations and other transportation infrastructure. People, cars, roads, environment, information and other traffic elements can be fully perceived and ubiquitous connection. The transportation industry should change from traditional factor-driven to innovative factor-driven. On the basis of ensuring information security, 5G, cloud computing, AI, big data and other technologies are widely adopted to build a digital platform, break the information isolated island, cooperate in the cloud, realize data fusion and sharing, and then build a "smart application", so as to speed up the process of digital transformation of the transportation industry, and realize the comprehensive upgrading of traffic safety, efficiency and experience.

This is an omni-directional and multi-dimensional industry upgrading, which is related to the core values of the new infrastructure and the basic strategy of the national economy and people's livelihood. So Huawei continues to bow into the game and embrace the new great changes in the transportation industry with a "knowledgeable" attitude.

Thousands of roads: Huawei, who bows into the traffic, "knows how to do it".

The challenge and future have been determined, and the industry practice that has opened up a new situation has blossomed. In this case, Huawei's deep integration with the transportation industry has reached a new stage. A stage of bowing down, looking for partners, and creating new value.

Cai Yinghua, president of Huawei's China government and enterprise business, believes that "knowing the line" does not mean that he understands his every need better than the enterprises in the industry, and no company can meet the needs of customers 100%. " What we need to know is to go deep into the industry's production decision-making system, understand the needs of the transformation of key business scenarios, and integrate digital technology with business needs to work with "expert" partners. create innovative solutions that really meet the needs of the industry, thus releasing the real value of digital transformation and intelligent transportation.

Under this line of thinking, Huawei hopes to persist in ploughing deep in the industry, give full play to its ability to understand industry trends and needs, and understand the integration of technology and industry scenarios, and constantly go deep into the industry's production decision-making system to understand the needs of key business scenarios. Thinking from the perspective of transportation business, to find more core business scenarios and digital technology applications, so that the transportation industry can accelerate out of the deep water area of digital transformation.

On the roads around us, in every train passing by, in every station, wharf and airport we pass. A magnificent change is spreading. At some point, we will suddenly begin to get used to and enjoy the new convenient experience brought by digital traffic and intelligent transportation. To this end, countless people are working hard to communicate, think hard, and move forward diligently. They are "knowledgeable" people.

They know the needs of the road, so China can build a vast blueprint for smart travel; they understand the power of new digital technology, so the transportation power strategy will make all industries prosperous and have a bright future!
