On September 10th, the 2020 Tencent Digital Ecology Conference was opened to the world, with the main direction of "Future Economy, Digital First", to discuss the optimal solution for the development of digital economy.

    As an important area of ​​the industrial Internet, smart transportation is an important indicator of future urban development and the "main force" of new infrastructure. Based on deep accumulation in the field of smart travel, Tencent has established close cooperation with 31 auto companies and more than 300 travel ecological partners, cooperating with 120 models of landing. Tencent has formed a comprehensive digital service capability in the field of smart travel, and has continued to extend to areas such as urban smart transportation operation management and public travel services.

    At the “Smart Transportation Sub-forum” of this conference, Zhong Xiangping, vice president of Tencent, announced for the first time Tencent’s new strategy for smart transportation, We Transport, combining Tencent’s leading digital technology capabilities, from four levels of “construction, management, operation, and service” Expand, dig deeper into the digital value of people, vehicles, and roads, and promote the intelligent upgrade of the transportation industry.

Zhong Xiangping, Vice President of Tencent

    Zhong Xiangping, vice president of Tencent, believes that the great value of the transportation industry upgrade mainly includes three dimensions: helping urban planning and management move towards refinement; helping traffic dispatch and running more efficiently; helping people’s livelihood services and bringing a better travel experience. With the continuous advancement of new infrastructure, the future transportation will move towards a "people-centered" human-vehicle-road intelligent connection model, which will not only provide interconnected, efficient, intelligent and caring service experience, but will also improve the efficiency of social operations and improve the quality of life of people .

    In the critical period of helping my country to move from a "transportation power" to a "transportation power", Tencent hopes to continue to leverage its own technological advantages, based on the digital technology capabilities of one code, one image, one cloud, and one ID, such as ride codes and super ID The foundation of personalized services such as maps, LBS, cloud computing and other basic capabilities have become the digital base and cloud brain of smart cities; together with industry chain partners, they will become co-builders of the smart transportation industry.

    The following is the full text of the speech:

    Hello everyone, this is Zhong Xiangping.

    Transportation infrastructure is the aorta that supports the efficient operation of a city and an important indicator of the development level of a city. The integration and development of new infrastructure and traditional infrastructure, the first and most important area to benefit from, is urban transportation.

    In the past decade or so, my country’s urbanization process has accelerated, with more and more large cities with tens of millions of people, and urban traffic is very busy; my country has the world’s most developed railway network, which carried 3.66 billion passengers in 2019; my country’s highway mileage The number is also ranked first in the world. In addition, there are rapid growth of waterway and air traffic.

    Facing the ever-increasing number of users and service demands, using digital technology and new infrastructure means to intelligently upgrade traditional infrastructure, improve management accuracy, operational efficiency, and service quality, and enable the transportation and travel industries to release greater value.

    As the main force of the new infrastructure, smart transportation can not only help the integration of new infrastructure and traditional infrastructure, but also promote the construction of smart cities, and realize the upgrade of a transportation country to a transportation power country.

    The continuous progress of information technology and digital technology is making cars smarter and roads smarter. Both cars and roads are gradually equipped with perception and interaction capabilities, and "vehicle-road collaboration" has become a reality.

    With the continuous advancement of new infrastructure, in the future, transportation will be further intelligent, moving towards a "people-centered" intelligent connection of people, vehicles and roads. This kind of comprehensive intelligence, through the scheduling of the digital base and the cloud brain, allows the various traffic units to coordinate safely and efficiently in a multi-threaded mode.

    This kind of comprehensive intelligence will bring far-reaching influence to transportation, travel, and even urban development, and create huge value. In my opinion, the promotion and release of this value can be summarized from the following three dimensions:

    First of all, the intelligent upgrade of transportation will help urban planning and management become more refined.

    With the growth of car ownership, traffic congestion has become a thorny problem in many cities. How to make public transportation and autonomous travel rationally deploy, and all types of vehicles are safely parallel, can use digital means to make forward-looking predictions and make reasonable urban road planning, tidal lane setting, rail and public transportation route planning, etc.

    The digital "public transportation base" is also a new type of infrastructure that helps urban planning and fine governance. For example, Tencent’s ride code applet allows users to ride the car without contact, and it combines with the "health code" function during the epidemic to assist in the management of urban epidemic prevention and control.

    This kind of service tool that improves user travel convenience and at the same time helps government departments to improve management efficiency, the number of users is still rising after the epidemic.

    Secondly, the upgrading of traffic intelligence helps traffic dispatch and operation more efficient.

    Tencent and Guangzhou Metro jointly launched the country's first rail transit smart brain "Suiteng OS", which is an exploration and experiment in this field. High-speed rails, subway stations, high-speed exits, and parking lots with densely-travelled people rely on more sensorless payment technologies, such as scanning codes and facial recognition, to reduce congestion and waiting and improve traffic efficiency.

    In addition, we are exploring the use of digital twin technology to build a digital traffic dispatch management platform. At the same time, Tencent’s focused digital technology such as virtual simulation is also promoting autonomous driving early to solve traffic safety and other issues. In the fields of logistics and transportation, especially ports, high-speed, etc., autonomous driving may be the first to land, and through intelligent scheduling, efficiency can be improved and costs reduced.

    Third, the intelligent upgrade of transportation helps people's livelihood services and brings a better travel experience.

    The most fundamental pursuit of users when traveling is always efficiency and comfort.

    Smart upgrades will bring users a more convenient and comfortable experience. For example, Tencent is cooperating with Shenzhen Airport to build a full-process service system that can reduce manual services and shorten the waiting time through a unified ID, mini program, and official account.

    In terms of road travel, with the accelerated iteration of assisted driving and autonomous driving, and the rapid popularization of ecological car networking, the car has also changed from a commuting tool to a more comfortable and more functional service space. This is also the case for Tencent and many car companies. The direction the partners are working on.

    In order to unleash the value of smart transportation, Tencent has continued to cultivate in the field of smart travel and smart transportation for the past four years.

    At present, Tencent has reached cooperation with 31 car companies and more than 300 ecological partners to help car companies better serve users by providing smart in-car services, digital marketing tools for car companies, and autonomous driving research and development tools. At the same time, Tencent's ride-hailing code service has covered 150 million users in more than 150 cities, and the intelligent transportation dispatching solution has also cooperated with multiple cities.

    In the future, Tencent hopes to become the digital base and cloud of smart cities based on the technologies of one code, one image, one cloud, and one ID, such as the base of personalized services such as ride code, super ID, and basic capabilities such as maps, LBS, and cloud computing. brain. We hope to join hands with industrial chain partners to become a co-builder of the intelligent transportation industry.

    Facing the full life cycle of future transportation, Tencent has always adhered to the service concept of “people-centered” and used its digital technology capabilities to enable transportation infrastructure to have perception capabilities, realize intelligent decision-making management methods, improve operational efficiency, improve service experience, and accelerate Transportation has moved from a traditional passive management model to a new type of smart transportation based on data and technology.

    thank you all.
