On March 25th, the 8th China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum 2022 “Cloud Forum” officially opened in Beijing. On the first day of the conference, the Dual Intelligence Forum with the theme of “Promoting the Coordinated Development of Intelligent Vehicles and Smart Cities” was opened.
Yang Hongyi, Deputy Director of the City Construction Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that the dual-intelligence pilot work has achieved initial results. Next, guided by the needs of cities and citizens, the standard achievements of the pilot programs will be promoted nationwide after they mature, and the dual-intelligence pilot platform will be further utilized.
Yang Hongyi said that in the past year or so, six cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, and Wuxi have been selected as the first batch of dual-intelligence pilot programs, and ten cities including Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nanjing, Jinan, Chengdu, Hefei, Cangzhou, Wuhu, and Zibo were selected as the second batch of dual-intelligence pilot programs. At present, the dual-intelligence pilot work in each city has achieved initial results.
The dual-intelligence pilot has directly driven industrial upgrading and economic development in various regions. Investment in the dual-intelligence construction in each city has exceeded one billion yuan, providing new opportunities for upstream and downstream enterprises in the relevant industrial chain, and providing opportunities for the development of related industries in each city and playing the role of agglomeration effect.
In addition, the dual-intelligence pilot provides a digital model for the planning, construction, and management of cities, achieving intelligent management of infrastructure, environmental governance, urban transportation, public services, and disaster prevention and emergency response through digital means.
The dual-intelligence pilot also provides new ideas for improving people’s travel and effectively solving urban traffic congestion. In Beijing, citizens can experience commercial operation of self-driving taxis. In Changsha, the country’s first smart customized bus route for commuting scenarios was created, reducing average travel time by 13.3\%, and the peak-time optimization rate reached 80\%, effectively improving the efficiency of citizens’ commutes.
Regarding the future development of dual intelligence, Yang Hongyi put forward three expectations:
- Further utilize the dual-intelligence pilot platform to transform and land, continuously improve the quality of dual-intelligence construction;
- Further focus on the needs of cities and citizens, combine the city’s industrial foundation and needs, test more application fields, and further meet the needs of safe and convenient travel;
- Further summarize and promote the experience and practices formed in the pilot programs, promote the co-construction and mutual recognition of relevant standards among 16 cities from point to area, and continuously improve them, and promote the standard achievements nationwide after they mature.
