Intelligent upgrade of infrastructure accelerates smart city

Intelligent transportation, smart medical care, smart grid, these “smart” systems, which have not been noticed by end users, have quietly changed the lifestyle of some people. In other fields, operators have begun to design related systems. The application of the class will interlock and will make the smart city gradually take shape.

In the morning, despite the cold weather outside, the room temperature still maintains the most pleasant 22 ° C, press a few keys on the bedside table, the stove starts to brew coffee, the curtains open automatically, let the outside sky shine in, the bathtub The faucet emits warm water, and the sound of the favorite symphony is heard. When going out to work, the traffic conditions of the city have been downloaded to the smartphone via wireless. The mobile phone will recommend you the best transportation according to the current situation. You have chosen MRT, you don't need to buy a ticket in the station, you can directly close the phone to the gate, the fare will be automatically settled to the monthly phone bill... As long as it is mentioned in the smart city article, there will almost be these visions at the beginning, and These visions can be written down by imagination. It makes people feel that the smart city seems to be a dream that is close to the present and will come true. In fact, it is necessary to pour cold water here. Although the smart city will eventually arrive, it will not become overnight. Really, I won’t suddenly surprise when I get up, I’m already in a smart city. The so-called urban intelligence is often opened in places you don’t pay attention to. Little to start when you're back to God one day only to find such a complete system of smart city services, has been seamlessly embedded in your life.

For example, do you still remember when you use your bank's cash machine for the first time? When was the first time you saw a digital signage (DigitalSignage)? These two are a small part of a smart city, and they are gradually spreading around the life when you and I don't pay attention.

What are the next ones that have not been noticed by consumers, but have the IT industry been doing a lot of work?

Intelligent traffic starting from safety

According to the US Department of Transportation, the number of people killed in traffic accidents in the United States is as high as 43,000 per year, and the number of disabled people is about 3.2 million. The social cost of dealing with traffic accidents exceeds $150 billion. The same is true in Japan. According to the Japanese vehicle information and communication system, the average annual cost per person in Japan is about 42 hours, which translates to an annual cost of 12 trillion yen. It is an important way for governments to find ways to effectively reduce transportation costs. Question.

Japan has invested in resources to improve transportation infrastructure and smart vehicle technology since the 1970s. It is the first country in the world to start developing ITS. From the history of Japan ITS, (Intelligent Transportation Systems; intelligent transportation system), it can be divided into three phases.

The first stage was from 1970 to 1980. This was the basic stage of preliminary research and intelligent transportation system planning and construction. By 1980-1995, it entered the second stage, constructing a standardized interface for vehicle communication and developing advanced safety. Vehicle and traffic management system, at the same time established the two major developmental axes of intelligent vehicles and intelligent highways; from 1995 to 2012, it belongs to the third stage. With the maturity of communication technology, the driving safety application has begun to transform. Traditional sensor anti-collision detection has turned into intelligent driving assistance for in-vehicle communication.

The research and development of American ITS began in the mid-1980s. Berkeley University implemented a research project called PATH in 1986, which was the origin of American ITS research. Later, the US government and automobile manufacturers were in about 1994. Joined the development of ITS, when the US government set two development visions for safety and transportation efficiency.

Finally, the development of the European intelligent transportation system was established. At the end of 1993, the European Union was established. Its development focus is on standardization, which means establishing a unified standard protocol and interface for vehicles and communication systems, so that the application of intelligent transportation systems can be unimpeded among EU countries.

Due to the large number of countries participating in the EU, the development goals of each other are inconsistent and unrelated. In the case of scattered power, it indirectly drags on the development of the European intelligent transportation system industry. In view of this, the EU established the workshop communication alliance in 2003 (Car). -to-CarCommunicationConsortium), consisting of 150 members from governments, car manufacturers, auto parts factories, technology manufacturers, telecom operators, research institutes, etc., is responsible for formulating pan-European universal vehicle communication standards, and hopes to accelerate the driving by integrating resources from various countries. Safety related technology development and application.

Care has become a pioneer in wisdom

Another focus beyond transportation is medical care. The medical construction in smart cities is mostly based on the topic of smart medical care. It covers a wide range of areas, from remote home health care to follow-up hospital care and even medical care. The peripheral facilities of the site, such as remote consultation, condition tracking, auxiliary disease explanation, medical record information review and integration, are all intelligent projects.

At present, the medical care system in various countries around the world is facing challenges due to the shortage of manpower and resources and the emergence of various new diseases. According to the World Health Statistics published by the United Nations World Health Organization, the highest concentration of care and midwifery in Europe is 55 per 10,000 people, while the lowest in Africa and Southeast Asia is only 11 per 10,000 people. It shows that the problem of insufficient medical manpower is very serious, and it will inevitably affect the quality of medical care; in order to solve the dilemma of shortage of medical resources, and under the fermentation of smart medical and other issues, the medical industry will gradually bring the Internet of Things into the next new application stage.

And because the medical professional human resources can be achieved in a short period of time, how to maintain medical quality has become a major challenge in the medical care system. Therefore, in order to cope with the long-term care needs brought about by the advent of the aging society, countries around the world have drawn up policies and hope to use wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, LET, GPS and RFID to structure the application direction of remote care. In the thousands of medical reforms, medical information technology reform is a crucial part. In fact, with the rapid development of information and communication technology, many countries are rethinking the operating system of medical services.

Smart grid makes electricity smarter

Another smart grid is being formed. The smart grids in various countries are already accelerating. After the standard is set, the semiconductor industry can integrate the required functions according to industry standards, further mass production of chips and reduce construction costs.

The smart grid transforms the role of traditional power companies from one-way transmission to two-way, while integrating power flow and information flow. Through standard formulation, future power flow and information flow construction will be more stable, safe, reliable and effective. The easy-to-use interface for control and application, the disclosure of electricity information is one of the applications. The electricity consumption information of all equipment in the future residential buildings and buildings will be captured, recorded and analyzed to make smarter use. Electricity strategy to reduce energy consumption in homes and buildings.

According to the research of the Institute of Green Energy Conservation of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the proportion of buildings in the global energy consumption is as high as 37%. Therefore, buildings play a relatively important role in the structure of smart grids, due to the fact that there are too many traditional buildings. The system must be integrated, resulting in a long learning curve of the system; plus the problem of system troubleshooting increases, not only increases operating costs, but also creates obstacles to energy-saving development. The construction of smart grids will integrate the difficult integration problems in the past. Let the intelligent and green energy-saving goals be achieved simultaneously in the future urban construction.

Intelligent transportation, smart medical care, smart grid, these "Smart" systems, which have not been noticed by end users, have quietly changed the lifestyle of some people, such as logistics, retail, education, entertainment, etc. All the operators have begun to design related systems, and various applications are interlocking, which will gradually shape the smart city.
