The 23rd China Highway Information Seminar took place from April 22–23 at the Suzhou International Expo Center. HollySys participated in the exhibition, showcasing a number of its smart highway solutions. On the afternoon of April 23, the Vice President and General Manager of Highway Transportation Department of Beijing HollySys Co., Ltd. Liu Yuhuan delivered a keynote speech at the sub-forum on Operation Monitoring and Emergency Response. Liu's speech was entitled "Smart Perception, Intelligent Control Safety — The HollySys Smart Highway Cloud Control Platform".
As infrastructure critical to the deep integration of traditional highways with new technologies such as big data and AI, smart highways constitute the trend and future of highway transportation development. Liu Yuhuan started by providing background on the construction of the smart highway cloud control platform. He pointed out existing weaknesses in highway management such as information islands, a lack of monitoring and a lack of coordination: "The current operation, maintenance, management and control of highway equipment and systems are still operating in a passive mode. Besides electromechanical devices, cameras and other traditional equipment, new equipment and IIoT applications are constantly emerging in operations management centers at all levels. These are all in urgent need of integrated management and control networks as well as an operations and management platform for unified, efficient and automated management and services. This is what's needed to improve road efficiency, operation safety and service quality. Based on traditional superior products and technologies, HollySys has applied innovative technologies such as Industrial Internet platforms, edge intelligent controllers and edge gateway to the field of highways, resolving difficulties in node connection and collaborative control that continue to trouble many current highway equipment and facilities," said Liu.
By linking with highway business application systems, the latest smart highway cloud control platform from HollySys can access, collect, and fuse highway operations' historical and real-time data to provide interface services for visual platform calling, and provide operators with smart highway cloud control services such as operation monitoring, dynamic warning, control and command, and road network operations management. Liu Yuhuan shared HollySys's thoughts and practices in designing the smart highway cloud control platform, which earned much attention from other participants and fully demonstrated HollySys's brand strength in the field of smart highways.
As China's smart highway business rides a new wave of momentum, HollySys will continue to focus on smart transportation, strengthening its efforts in R&D and innovation to explore and research new technologies, new businesses, and new models. It will surely carry the intelligent development of the highway industry to new heights.
