Business oppurtunities at intertraffic china

The Chinese traffic and transport industry offers enormous opportunities with the Chinese government planning to spend $1.5 trillion in infrastructure over the next 15 years, with a $340 billion investment in road construction.* The market opportunities are eminent with the high influence of government policies in major economic decisions regarding the investment in infrastructure. It is predicted that with the world’s ever-growing population by 2050, 85 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas. China’s major cities are already facing traffic jams, pollution and overcrowding. Smart mobility is an integral part of major projects to help solve these problems.

Cloud platforms in Shanghai

Shanghai is streamlining government services for their residents through Citizen Cloud, a cloud-based platform that doubles as a mobile app. The cloud platform aggregates and provides easy access to over 100 government services for Shanghai residents, which includes drivers’ license information, healthcare records and a wide range of community services. By December 2017, approximately one-third of Shanghai’s population, or seven million users, have begun using the platform and app to access essential public services.

Go cashless in Beijing

Why commute with subway tickets or use cash when you can pay with your phone? Beijing is leading the front on cashless payments, pioneering the use of mobile payments for public transport and retail. For one, Huawei has rolled out mobile payments across major cities like Beijing through the Huawei Pay app. The app directly links to public transport cards, or preloaded fares, and credit cards, allowing commuters to pay by simply tapping their smartphones at metro gantries, convenience stores and retail shops.

Hangzhou's 'City Brain'

Launched in 2016, the Hangzhou “City Brain” project, created by Chinese retail and tech company Alibaba, uses cameras systems and sensors across the city to collect data on road conditions in real-time. The data is fed to an AI hub, which then manages traffic signals at 128 intersections, and helps city officials make better decisions at a faster rate. By pulling from traffic and weather data, the City Brain analyses real-time traffic flow to regulate traffic signals at over 100 intersections.
