    Intelligent transportation is a service system for transportation which fully utilizes modern electronic information technology such as Internet of things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, automatic control and mobile Internet in the field of transportation, and was founded on September 2nd, 2014. The platform also provides information release of traffic control, road construction, emergency events and traffic weather. Whether it is driving or public transportation, it can obtain relevant information through the platform. Next, let’s introduce the overall solution of smart expressway for you by Fctel technology. Let’s take a look at it together!
    1、 Overview of expressway industry
    In recent years, the highway construction in China has made remarkable achievements. The national trunk road network, which takes highway as the skeleton and the main highway of China and province as the main body, has been basically formed. As the core of expressway electromechanical system, expressway monitoring system has also made great progress. As a visual management method, expressway monitoring system provides real-time, accurate and complete traffic information such as traffic volume and road condition for the operators and managers; In case of traffic abnormality, the system can timely discover the accident or blocked area, and release the corresponding guidance and rescue information in real time, avoid secondary accidents and ensure the highway traffic efficiency and traffic safety.


    The existing highway monitoring system has some problems, such as insufficient high-definition and intelligent level, incomplete information collection coverage, isolated information island of each subsystem, low degree of networking, insufficient regional cooperation ability, and low degree of public oriented travel service. The above problems seriously restrict the improvement of highway informatization level, restrict the operation monitoring and scientific management ability of highway network, and also affect the emergency response ability and public service ability of highway emergencies.
    With the rapid development of security technology, how to use the existing advanced scientific and technological means to improve the operation monitoring and scientific management level of highway network, improve the safety performance and service quality of national trunk highway network, improve the ability of highway emergency response and public service, and realize the development goal of “visible, measurable and controllable” of national trunk highway network, As well as improving the safe, smooth, convenient and green highway travel service for the people has become the main goal of the new generation of highway monitoring system construction.
