Tech giant Huawei revealed its paths for smart transportation and shared its latest technical achievements at this month’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The Chinese company hosted a transportation forum on accelerating transportation digital intelligence during which Jacky Wang, vice president at Huawei, described advancements across four transportation sectors – rail, aviation, traffic and sea ports.

Huawei’s smart railway yard and station technology empowers intelligent upgrades. It can improve intelligent fault recognition rates to 99.99%, while intelligent scheduling can boost rolling stock inspection and repair efficiency by 30%.

Preliminary inspection based on intelligent detection halves manual workloads. Additionally, perimeter detection ensures zero missed alarms and few false alarms. This technology can also cut power consumption by 40% and decrease costs and space by 30%.

On aviation, Huawei has upgraded its fully connected all-optical network for airports by adding the M45 panel-type optical network unit (ONU), and improved its Xinghe intelligent airport integrated data network. The ONU supports PoF power supply and type B dual-homing service protection.

Wifi 7 enables targeted signal enhancement for users with 20% higher bandwidth. Moreover, Huawei’s wifi shield guarantees zero data leakage. The airport IOC improves the flight departure punctuality and ground support efficiency by 5% each, making forecasts more precise.

Huawei’s transportation operations coordination centre detects traffic incidents within seconds and handles them 30% faster than previous methods. Precise charging scheduling of new-energy buses improves passenger mobility efficiency by over 15%. Nine modules and 16 types of services can be flexibly combined to optimise safety, efficiency and service quality.

Huawei unveiled its intelligent multi-level port operations management system to help port groups go digital and become more innovative. This reduces report statistics time from weeks to minutes and enables benefit indicator analysis to be done hourly instead of monthly.

Huawei (www.huawei.com) has served more than 210 airports, airlines and air traffic management departments, more than 300 urban rail lines alongside over 180,000km of railways across over 70 cities, road networks extending more than 200,000km, and over 100 customers from sea port and land port industries.
