What is the relationship between smart city and smart transportation?

Intelligent transportation is a part of smart city. In fact, smart cities include: smart transportation, smart emergency, smart urban management, smart life, smart medical care, smart government affairs, smart energy, smart security and so on.

Smart city uses information and communication technology to perceive, analyze and integrate the key information of the core system of urban operation, so as to make intelligent responses to various needs including people's livelihood, environmental protection, public safety, urban services and industrial and commercial activities. Its essence is to use advanced information technology to realize the intelligent management and operation of the city, so as to create a better life for people in the city and promote the harmonious and sustainable growth of the city.

With the continuous development of human society, cities in the future will carry more and more people. At present, China is in the period of accelerated urbanization, and the problem of "urban disease" in some areas is becoming more and more serious. In order to solve the problem of urban development and realize the sustainable development of cities, building smart cities has become an irreversible historical trend of urban development in the world today.

Among them, intelligent transportation mainly has these three characteristics:

One is to provide diversified services for the transportation industry with the collection, processing, publishing, exchange, analysis and utilization of information data as the main line;

Second, it integrates high-tech technologies such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and mobile Internet to support the whole process of traffic management, transportation and public travel;

Thirdly, the traffic system has the ability to analyze, predict and control in a larger space-time range, which fully guarantees traffic safety and improves the operational efficiency and management level of the traffic system.

Damon, a smart transportation expert, said: The starting point and destination of smart city construction is to break through the bottleneck of urban development, start with the construction of intelligent infrastructure, make overall plans and implement it step by step. Among them, intelligent transportation is considered as an important breakthrough to solve urban traffic congestion, build an integrated transportation system, realize intelligent transportation infrastructure and promote the sustainable development of transportation industry.

The construction of intelligent transportation can not be separated from the national policy orientation and the government's attention and support, and it also needs the strong cooperation of transportation-related industry management departments. Without a high degree of ideological awareness, it is impossible to break the monopoly of industry information resources. The synchronous implementation of other systems in smart cities is also an important factor to accelerate the pace of intelligent transportation construction. These are all experiences worthy of our careful summary.

The application of intelligent transportation is still deepening and developing, enriching the connotation, enriching the display means and expanding the scope of use. In the future, it will better serve the efficiency of urban traffic operation, develop urban information industry and make new contributions to the construction of smart cities.
