Eastcompeace: weaving the smart city's future with the Internet of things
Smart city construction is
a new generation of information technology and other
application-oriented technology closely linked with the city, is to
promote more efficient urban governance, more developed industries, an
important means of urban livability. The smart city in everyone's
eyes is not the same, some people think that the smart city is
which taking the bus no longer need to wait, pay water and electricity
fees do not need to queue, or some people think that smart
city can be unimpeded for going out, and working at home, people's
eyes of the smart city has a core feature - people-oriented. Any
technological progress is to make the environment more suitable
for people's life so that people live more convenient and better.. With
the development of Internet and IOT technology, the arrival of
the era of big data, the technical conditions for building a
smart city have gradually matured. At present, China is speeding
up the development and construction of smart cities, using the
Internet of Things to "weave" the new era of smart cities. Eastcompeace
actively responds to and embraces the trend, and contributes to this new era.
At the 2018 YunQi Congress
Exhibition, Eastcompeace exhibited two solutions: intelligent
parking guidance for urban roads and intelligent remote meter
reading for water services. We proposed and implemented these two
solutions because we wanted to see everyone go out easily, the
road is clear, and we are no longer difficult to find a rare
parking space. Every drop of water plays its important role, and every resource is properly allocated.
Intelligent transportation: solving the
problem of "parking difficulty" in cities
With the rapid development
of urban economy, the construction of transportation
infrastructure is accelerated, the demand for urban transportation is greatly
increased, and the contradiction between supply and demand is
becoming increasingly prominent. A series of problems, such as traffic
congestion, traffic pollution, frequent traffic accidents and parking
difficulties, have become the bottlenecks restricting the development
of urban society and economy, and have become the focus in
traffic management and urban intelligent transportation
construction. Intelligent Transportation aims to alleviate traffic
congestion, improve urban traffic conditions, maximize urban traffic
efficiency, and establish a new generation of integrated traffic
coordination system with coordinated operation of people, vehicles, roads and
environment, and improve the overall operational efficiency of
urban traffic system. It plays a very important role in the smart city construction.
By using of road vehicle
guidance, traffic order optimization, parking guidance,
intelligent parking management and other intelligent management
tools to improve the management, it can reduce traffic congestion
by 30% at least. Therefore, the research and development direction
of Eastcompeace IoT is intelligent parking. By using advanced
LPWAN/NB-IOT (low-power wide area network) and original
vehicle sensor technology, the vehicle state information on the road or
parking space is collected and sent to the cloud platform for
secondary processing and utilization, and analyzed with large data, connected
with mobile payment, a series of actions make parking
guidance, self-parking, self-service payment and other functions
come true. Users can check the parking space around the
destination in real-time through the mobile phone, and
accurately navigate to the relevant parking space. When the vehicle
needs to leave, the user can also find the vehicle position in reverse
through mobile phone. This plan has effectively solved a series
of problems, such as parking space management and parking difficulties.
Eastcompeace provides a
solution to the parking guidance linking in the intelligent
transportation system. Through the functions of status monitoring, parking
space search, parking guidance, visual operation, law enforcement
supervision, mobile payment and so on, the intelligent management
of "people", "car" and "parking space" is finally constructed.
This project can not only help the government to modernize its
jurisdiction, establish demonstration projects, provide good municipal
services for the public, but also reduce the costs of equipment, labor,
operating and so on.
Intelligent water affairs: from
"manual meter reading" to "smart uploading"
One of the core
construction points of smart city is to build intelligent water affair,
and use the water Internet of things technology to manage urban
water resources more efficiently. China is a serious water
shortage country, with a per capita water resource of only 2,200
cubic meters, only one fourth of the world average. Water resources
management is an important part of urban intelligent
management and one of the symbols of the level of urban intelligent
management. The mechanical water meter accounts for 90% of the
total water meter in our country, about 400 million households. With the
passage of time, the traditional mechanical water meter data
acquisition has some drawbacks: difficulty in mechanical water
meter data acquisition which resulted in both inaccurate data, difference
of reading time and inaccurate production-sales ratio data
analysis, due to budget constraints, it is difficult to quickly solve
problems such as the updating of water meter which will directly
affect the overall measurement accuracy and production and marketing analysis of water.
In recent years, under the guidance
of the concept of "smart water", great changes have taken
place in the management of water companies, through data
acquisition, transmission and other sensor equipment online
detection of the operation of water system, and the use of
visualization to integrate water management departments and facilities,
the formation of "urban water things network". The massive
data are analyzed and processed in time through the digital
management platform of water affairs, and the corresponding processing
results are made to assist decision-making
suggestions, so as to manage the whole production, management and
service process of the water affairs system in a more sophisticated and dynamic way.
The Intelligent Waterworks
Remote Meter Reading Solution supports the latest NB-IoT
and LoRa wireless communication technologies to achieve
remote data transmission and flexible access to the water IoT of
management cloud platform. In the operator-based station
signal coverage area, the Terminal (intelligent water meter) will
be connected with NB-IoT technology. When in uncovered the local
or remote areas, we will deploy in a small range with LoRa Ad-Hoc
network, to better solve the management problem that
intelligent water meter deployed in different environments of the whole city unified access
platform.
At the same time, the
intelligent water meter has the most abundant network management,
pressure monitoring, temperature measurement, leakage
analysis, countercurrent detection and two-way flow measurement
industry leading functions. It can optimize water supply and
ensure accurate water trade measurement and settlement.
It can realize real-time data upload of water meter and analysis
of leakage data of pipeline network. The data is objective and
accurate. It can read and monitor the operation of the Security
Bureau in real time. The construction of Smart City has solved the
problems of low efficiency of manual copying of mechanical water
meters, large errors in data copying and long-term fund raising operation of water supply
companies.
"Safety and wisdom sharing" to
create an ecosystem of East China's open logistics ecosystem
In 2016, Eastcompeace IoT
R&D Center was established, put forward the core
development concept of "security, wisdom, sharing". On the basis
of open platform, through the financial-grade Internet of Things security
communication technology with independent intellectual
property rights, we can provide effective security services for data
and control signaling transmission of the Internet of Things system,
build a safe, intelligent and shared system platform, and create
an "open ecosystem of Eastcompeace-IoT".
Intelligent parking guidance and intelligent water remote meter reading are the beginning of this
ecosystem.
Relying on the support of
Ali-Cloud data analysis service, the open ecosystem of the IoT
integrates LoRa terminal multi-dimensional data, realizes real-time
presentation and prediction analysis of data information through
professional large data visual graphical interface, and satisfies
the display of various services such as business monitoring, risk
early warning, geographic information analysis and so on. Provides
data reference to help enterprises acquire effective business
insights. At the same time, it can help customers build platforms,
aggregate ecological partners, meet the challenges of digital
transformation, and achieve sustainable development and business success.
Smart city is people's expectation
for a better life in the future, is the development direction of
new technology of the Internet of Things, and is also the stage goal of
peaceful transformation and upgrading of Eastcompeace. When we
were young, we always dreamed that we could listen to the
teacher and communicate with our classmates at home,
imagined that we could have the special function of
"transience" and imagined the life of "taking things in the air" through the
electronic screen. All this seems unrealistic, but we are realizing it little by little.
