The Application Of Intelligent Transportation Is Promising

Intelligent transportation is one of the highest values of Internet of Things. In 2008 China's road and intelligent transportation market is more than 22 billion. In the following five years, it will continue to grow at an annual growth rate of 25%. In the first quarter of 2011, the number of China's smart traffic items is 825. The market size is $ 7.6 billion. The number of intelligent transportation projects in urban markets is 621 and the size of the market is 2.35 billion yuan, an increase of 32.8%, two times the average growth rate of 2010.

From the perspective of regional development, the intelligent transportation construction of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other economically developed cities has begun to take shape. While the central and western regions are still mainly concentrated in highway toll systems. The intelligent transportation systems within cities still need to continue to be built and perfected.

What kind of action should China's smart traffic take? I believe that we should learn from the intelligent transport practices of the European and American developed countries. Of course, in reference to European and American experiences, we should also consider the situation that our own large and medium-sized cities and the population density. We should take an intelligent traffic road with Chinese characteristics.

Intelligent transportation is widely used in the following areas: traffic monitoring and coordination, electronic toll and parking management, driver assistance and cargo tracking.

By laying sensors, two-way communication GPS, or security cameras on the road, we can achieve the real-time traffic monitoring of traffic conditions. The system will provide the fastest information available to the driver and traffic management. In the U.S., many people usually log on Google Maps before they go home to select the best route to go home. In addition, many GPS can now receive real-time traffic congestion information to automatically select the fastest route.

In the case of major events, traffic control is often a time consuming thing. Fortunately, the development of intelligent transportation has brought us convenience. Relying on intelligent transportation systems, when we faced with emergencies or major events, we can coordinate a convenient control of the traffic lights along the road and implement the appropriate lane closure or restriction.

The intelligent transportation can not only improve road safety, but also greatly accelerate the traffic speed of the emergency vehicles, saving valuable time for the fire fighting or rescuing the patient. Analysts say that intelligent transportation will play an important role in China.
