City bus "One Card" achieves interconnectivity, comprehensive transportation information "One Network" and "One Number" access, over 80% of important road sections under real-time monitoring, highway service areas becoming smart data logistics ports... Such smart transportation is gradually being realized in Jiangxi.

　　In recent years, with the help of technological progress, Jiangxi Province has pioneered the development of smart transportation. While assisting the public in smart travel, it also effectively serves the refined management of comprehensive transportation, and the pace of smart transformation in the province's transportation industry is constantly accelerating.

　　Details Highlight Travel Convenience

　　"The focus of smart travel construction is to improve the 'One Network,' 'One Number,' and 'One Card' services for transportation, making travel more convenient for the people," introduced Lei Maojin, Director of the Jiangxi Provincial Highway Network Management Center. According to statistics from the Jiangxi Provincial Transportation Management Department, as of the end of July, 10 cities in Jiangxi Province have officially issued transportation "One Cards," with 410 routes and 3,745 buses upgraded and renovated, achieving interconnectivity of transportation "One Cards."

　　While promoting the interconnectivity of transportation "One Cards," the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation has been striving to achieve "One Network" for transportation information by building comprehensive transportation information service platforms such as the Jiangxi Transportation Information Website Group, Public Travel Service Network, Comprehensive Transportation Information Service System, and Passenger Transport Network Ticketing System, providing the public with more comprehensive and reliable travel information. With the continuous improvement of the 12328 transportation service supervision telephone system, the "One Number" service model of Jiangxi's transportation departments is also maturing, providing users with more personalized travel services.

　　"Jiangxi's 'smart travel' is reflected in many details," said Hu Jianqiang, Director of the Science and Technology Education Division of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation. By improving ground bus scheduling and information services, it can help travelers change from "blind" travel to "orderly" and "reliable" travel. With the collection and application of transportation big data, citizens in Nanchang, Jiujiang, Ji'an, Ganzhou, and other places can time their bus departures precisely. At the end of 2017, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation released the "Implementation Plan for Smart Transportation Making Travel More Convenient (2017-2020)," proposing to basically complete the transportation big data service system and the provincial public travel service center by the end of 2020.

　　In the freight sector, Jiangxi is building "front shop, back warehouse" smart data logistics ports based on the highway network and highway service areas, creating a new logistics model that integrates information flow, logistics, and capital flow. It is expected that by 2019, Jiangxi will complete the construction of logistics ports in 6 highway service areas, connect the logistics nodes of major national highways and highway networks in Jiangxi, and gradually establish distributed logistics ports in urban toll stations (stations) and service areas of prefecture-level cities such as Nanchang, Jiujiang, Ganzhou, Pingxiang, Yichun, Fuzhou, and Yingtan, achieving mutual exchange of trunk line logistics and seamless connection between urban and rural logistics.

　　"Currently, the logistics port at the Yinwanqiao Service Area of the Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway has started construction, and preparations for the construction of logistics ports at the Xiushui Service Area and Hengshi Service Area will be carried out within this year," introduced Pan Hao, Party Secretary and Chairman of Jiangxi Changxing Expressway Service Area Development and Operation Co., Ltd.

　　Informatization Construction Enhances Management Level

　　Located on the third floor of the Jiangxi Provincial Traffic Monitoring and Command Center, the road network visualization decision support platform has pairs of smart "eyes." Among the 20 high-definition display screens of the decision support platform, clear and smooth images allow staff in front of the control console to easily monitor vehicles and road conditions on main roads in real time.

　　This benefits from the Intelligent Transportation Management and Road Network Monitoring Platform of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation. In 2015, the intelligent system of the Jiangxi Provincial Traffic Monitoring and Command Center building was put into use, integrating and accessing 12 application systems of the transportation industry, more than 27,000 static and dynamic data items, and over 6,000 real-time video feeds, basically covering the framework of "One Network, One Map, One-Stop Platform" for the province's transportation industry. It can achieve "visualization, measurability, and controllability" of infrastructure such as key sections, extra-large bridges, and long tunnels of the province's highways and ordinary national and provincial trunk highways, and achieve real-time monitoring coverage of over 80% of important highway sections.

　　Recently, the feasibility study report for the second phase of the Jiangxi Provincial Ordinary Trunk Road Network Operation Monitoring and Emergency Response Platform has been approved by the Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and will gradually build a three-level road network management center at the province, city, and county levels. Currently, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation is preparing the construction plan, planning to fully launch the project construction this year, accelerating the smart transformation of the province's transportation industry, and improving the service quality and scientific governance capabilities of the transportation industry.
