500 cities are building new smart cities, and technology giants such as Ping An have deployed in them.

Whether a city is smart or not depends on whether there are traffic jams. With the acceleration of the smart city process, congestion in big cities may be alleviated in the future.

Shenzhen has the highest vehicle density in the country, with an average of 510 vehicles per kilometer. Traffic congestion during holidays has been particularly severe in the eastern scenic spots of Shenzhen for many years.

During the May Day holiday this year, Ping An Smart Transportation assisted the Shenzhen Traffic Police in piloting the "appointment traffic" control plan on the Dapeng Peninsula, achieving a year-on-year decrease of 27.5% in traffic volume in the controlled area and a 90% reduction in traffic police conditions.

At present, the Shenzhen Traffic Police Bureau has implemented this reservation pass scheme in the eastern scenic spots (including the Dapeng Peninsula and the Meisha and Meisha areas added in the summer). It mainly uses intelligent identification, big data processing, cloud computing and other technologies to achieve pre-trip planning reservations, Dynamic control in the bank and subsequent tracking and accountability, without adding hardware or parking cards, achieve precise control of travel and solve the problem of holiday traffic congestion in scenic spots in eastern Shenzhen.

Controlling congestion is only one of the manifestations of urban intelligence. From transportation, to government affairs, to finance, education, medical care, real estate, environmental protection, elderly care and other aspects, smart cities are profoundly changing everyone's life.

At the 2018 (4th) China Smart City International Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Smart Expo) held in Shenzhen from August 21st to August 23rd, Peng Sen, former deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said, “China’s smart city construction has Remarkable achievements have been made. The enthusiasm for construction in various places is increasing day by day." He also gave a set of the latest data: Up to now, there are 100% cities at the sub-provincial level and above, including 76% above prefecture-level cities and 32% county-level cities. A total of about 500 cities have clearly stated that they are building new smart cities.

Peng Sen believes that the construction of smart cities has significantly improved the level of urban governance and promoted cross-department, cross-industry, and cross-regional information sharing and business collaboration. Building smart cities has gradually become an important propeller for solving urban development problems and adjusting and upgrading industrial structures.

The host city, Shenzhen, has vigorously promoted new smart city work this year and released the "Shenzhen New Smart City Construction Overall Plan." "We plan to use three years to build a comprehensive map awareness, one-click coverage of Shenzhen, one-click knowledge of the overall situation, one-stop operation linkage, one-stop innovation and entrepreneurship, and one-stop smart life." Shenzhen Mayor Chen Rugui said. He also said that Shenzhen has gathered a number of internationally competitive backbone enterprises such as Huawei, Ping An, and Tencent, and they have provided a solid foundation for Shenzhen to build a smart city.

Like BAT in the Internet world, there is a new term circulating in the smart city industry - PATH, which includes Ping An, Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei. These are also the four most representative companies in the smart city field. Although they are in different industries, these four companies all have excellent basic skills in the field of technology. The four giants have different focuses in the field of smart cities.

Ping An of China aims to be a comprehensive solution provider for smart cities; Alibaba hopes to strengthen its advantages in the field of smart cities through "commercial payment" services; Tencent emphasizes "connection", so it expects smart city business They can all be based on WeChat, making WeChat the entrance and the tool to connect everything; Huawei, which started with hardware, has the advantages of its hardware. At the Smart Expo, the latest smart city technological achievements of these technology giants were all presented.

Ping An is the only company with a financial background. "Ping An of China has invested more than 50 billion yuan in innovative technology research and development in the past ten years, and leads the financial industry in the country in patent applications. Ping An will use its accumulated technological advantages and experience to empower the construction of smart cities." Ping An Group Chairman and CEO Ma Mingzhe said at the opening ceremony of the Smart Expo.

"We have a technical level that is not inferior to that of Internet giants and hardware giants." said Ren Huichuan, general manager of Ping An Group. Ping An has certain technological advantages in four major areas: intelligent cognition, artificial intelligence, blockchain and cloud technology.

At the same time, Ping An's accumulation in the two major fields of "big financial assets" and "big health care" is also its strength in deploying smart cities, and has thus formed three major advantages in technology, data, and scenarios.

At the Smart Expo, Ping An publicly demonstrated China’s first “1+N” smart city platform system and solutions for the first time. That is, using a "Smart City Cloud" platform to integrate Ping An's world-leading innovative technologies to support N smart city sectors, including smart government, life, finance, security, transportation, ports, education, medical care, real estate, environmental protection, elderly care, etc. .

At the same time, Ping An has incubated “Ping An Smart City” which specializes in the planning, construction and operation of smart cities. It is reported that Ping An's smart city business has served more than 200 cities across the country, and the established online citizen service platform can provide more than 2,000 services.

For example, in the field of smart medical care, the smart disease prediction platform has achieved a Shenzhen influenza prediction accuracy exceeding 90%; in the field of smart finance, it has directly saved state-owned enterprises in Nanning a total of 129 million yuan in financing costs.

The Smart Expo is one of the comprehensive service expos with the largest scale, the largest number of participants, and the most influence in China. It has been held three times in Beijing, Shenyang and other places. In the context of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, this year's Smart Expo has the theme of "New Era, New Journey - Digital China, Smart Society" to showcase typical cases of new smart cities around the world, cutting-edge technologies and the latest application results.
