With the development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have higher demand and expectations for urban transportation. Transportation is like the meridians and blood vessels that run through the city's body, making the city full of vitality. However, the problem of increasing traffic congestion in larger cities often troubles citizens. T-Bar believes that how to alleviate road congestion, allocate urban transportation capacity reasonably, and connect the "meridians" to plan smooth travel for citizens has become the top priority of urban transportation construction.
To solve this problem, higher-dimensional and more advanced concepts and technologies are needed, and smart transportation is the answer. As a part of the smart city framework, smart transportation fully integrates the transportation system into the overall development and construction of the city, and plays its connecting, transmitting, and exchanging functions for all elements of the city, making it an important and indispensable part of the smart city.
As a new service system in the field of transportation, smart transportation refers to the full use of new generation information technology such as the Internet of Things, spatial perception, cloud computing, and mobile Internet in the field of transportation management, transportation and public travel, and the entire process of transportation construction and management, making the transportation system in the area, city or even larger space have the ability of perception, interconnection, analysis, prediction, and control to fully guarantee transportation safety, play the effectiveness of transportation infrastructure, improve the efficiency and management level of the transportation system for smooth public travel and sustainable economic development.
Smart transportation isn't a new concept but originates from the intelligent transportation system proposed by the United States, Europe, Japan, and other Western countries in the late 1960s, which improves road traffic management through advanced information technology and includes road monitoring systems, traffic signal automatic control systems, electronic guidance systems, car location systems, and car navigation systems.
The construction of smart urban transportation covers the construction of various supporting equipment in all scenarios, such as station halls/airports, carriage/cabin, railway platforms/boarding gates, public areas, luggage retrieval areas, station shops/restaurants/bars, roof advertisements, driving control centers/flight control, parking lots, urban rail transit, buses, waiting areas, and platforms. Display applications, mainly using the high-definition LCD display screen, can collect, interact, broadcast and display information, and coordinate management to promote the smooth operation of the four major elements of people, vehicles, roads, and environments, alleviate traffic congestion, improve traffic operation, improve traffic efficiency, and ensure the safety of urban roads to provide people with more convenience for travel.
LCD smart display monitors are indispensable in the all-scenario application of smart transportation, with specific applications such as rail transit dynamic maps, electronic signboards, bus navigation screens, light pole screens, waiting area big screens, civil air defense security check screens, car roof screens, parking lot guidance screens, etc.
For example, according to official data, the current number of motor vehicles in China has reached 330 million, with 410 million drivers, ranking first in the world in terms of the total and incremental number of motor vehicles and drivers. Meanwhile, the parking space gap rate in Chinese cities generally exceeds 50%, and difficult driving and parking have become common traffic problems in major cities. With the appearance of smart parking guidance screens, real-time synchronization of parking space information can induce car owners to find the nearest parking space, promote the construction of the smart transportation travel information service system, and make parking more convenient.
In addition, in the application of smart light pole screens, traffic flow collection devices collect the traffic flow at intersections and transmit it in real-time back to the traffic command center. By fusing big data, real-time road conditions of each intersection are calculated and published through guidance screens to divert drivers away from congested routes, rationally choose travel routes, exchange space for time, and alleviate road congestion. Rail transit navigation screens, bus navigation screens, electronic signboards, etc. all display real-time driving information, arrival information, city news and weather information, making it convenient for citizens to choose public transportation.
