Intelligent Transportation Inspires 100 Billion Market

Data show that the amount of investment in China's financial expenditure on the intelligent transportation system has increased from 18.2 billion yuan in 2006 to 48.1 billion yuan in 2010. It is generally expected by the industry that this number will reach 150 billion yuan by 2015. The 100 billion market is about to start, and the auto market is heading towards the “Internet of Things”. The 100 billion market is about to start, intelligent transportation will rise to the national strategy, and operators will develop their skills.

Intelligent Transportation Rise to National Strategy The Ministry of Transport has clearly proposed to formulate a special action plan for the implementation of a green circulation low-carbon science and technology for transport in the “Green Cycle Low-Carrier Transport System Construction Pilot Demonstration Promotion Conference” to increase the green cycle of transportation. Scientific research and development and promotion, accelerate the construction of intelligent transportation and information technology.

The meeting put forward clear quantitative indicators. That is, by 2020, compared with 2005, the transport industry will achieve a 16% and 18% reduction in the energy consumption and carbon emissions per unit of transport volume of operational vehicles, and the energy consumption and carbon emissions of operational ship fleet turnover will decrease by 20 At 22% and 22%, the amount of energy and carbon emissions from passenger transport in urban passenger transport units dropped by 26% and 30% respectively.

It is worth noting that last year the Ministry of Communications issued the "2012-2020 Intelligent Transportation Development Strategy for Transportation Industry", which is also China's first intelligent transportation strategy released in the form of government documents, marking that intelligent transportation has risen to the national strategy. The Ministry of Communications initiated a new generation of intelligent transportation system development strategy and applied the Internet of Things technology to promote modern transport strategy research. There are two major research projects that have been planned for the next 5-10 years of development.

The 100 billion market is about to start the Internet to enable people to realize peer-to-peer information exchange. The car networking can enable dialogue between cars and cars. Experts pointed out that in the future, cars equipped with a car networking function will not only be highly efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent, but more importantly, they can also provide unprecedented traffic safety guarantees, and can even reduce the probability of car drivers to zero. It is expected that the value of the car networking industry in the next five years will be expected to exceed 100 billion yuan, and the car networking will become a super blue ocean that is no less than the output value of the mobile Internet market.

Faced with such a huge cake, Chinese and foreign companies have long been unable to bear. Domestic and foreign auto makers are also aiming at this huge market cake, and they have started to study the in-vehicle Internet service. From 2010, SAIC Roewe, Geely Automobile, FAW Mazda, FAW Toyota, Shanghai GM, BMW and other companies have started cooperation with China Unicom. Among them, products such as GM onstar, BMW iDrive, and Toyota G-Book with car networking function are already Many models are widely used.

The government has also invested a lot of money in this area. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced the list of projects to be supported by the special fund for the development of the Internet of Things in 2013. There are a total of 122 items in the list, of which 17 items related to traffic intelligence have been reached. According to industry sources, intelligent transportation is a cross-industry system system that includes hardware equipment manufacturers, system engineering vendors, data collection, analysis companies, and distribution services for various product services. Roughly, approximately 3,000 companies are involved in the industry.

According to statistics, operators of 43 sub-provincial cities in China have put forward smart city strategies. In the construction of smart cities, smart transportation is an important content, and telecom operators occupy an important position. Take Xi'an as an example. Shaanxi Mobile Xi’an Branch took the initiative to contact each traffic police detachment and sent relevant laws and regulations and other related knowledge to users through the SMS platform to actively promote the “Wisdom Xi’an” process. At the beginning of this year, Xi'an Mobile cooperated with the traffic police department for 60,000 dangerous vehicles, buses, and other key monitoring vehicles throughout the city. It promptly sent new rules and vehicle annual inspection tips to owners, which spreads knowledge and reduces accidents.

China Telecom is focusing on the communication network. In March 2012, China Telecom and Xi'an Municipal People's Government successfully signed a "Smart City" strategic agreement. China Telecom Xi'an Branch promised to spend more than 4 billion yuan to fully upgrade Xi'an's information technology infrastructure. According to the agreement, China Telecom Shaanxi will invest more than 15 billion yuan during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, adopting a new generation of information technology such as optical communication technology, IP technology, and cloud computing to carry out a comprehensive upgrade, optimization, and renovation of existing networks in Xi’an. To realize the integration and sharing of Internet resources such as the Internet, the Internet of Things, and communications networks.

Zhang Ranqi, director of China Unicom’s automotive aviation industry, said that the market competition caused by the car networking function will reach its peak this year, and the car networking will become the main direction for the development of intelligent transportation industry. At present, Shaanxi Unicom is relying on its HSPA 21M high-quality, high-speed network to carry out extensive cooperation with various industries, mainly including smart bus services in Weinan, Baoji, Xianyang, Shangluo, Tongchuan, etc.; and Xi’an taxi company to develop taxi mobile media business. Police police patrol command business with Fuping, Hancheng, Shaoguan and other places; school bus monitoring business with Xi'an campuses; pilot fuel tanker monitoring business with Yanchang Petroleum, and through these applications, ICT technology has been implemented to serve road traffic. As a result, the informatization construction of the transportation industry was promoted, and eventually the perfect combination of information and communication technologies and road safety was promoted.
