Urban Intelligent Traffic Management and Video Surveillance Systems

Overview of the Project

Liang, the deputy general manager of Hohhot City Investment Management Co., Ltd., shared insights into the ambitious project. The new system will replace outdated SD cameras with high-definition ones, ensuring better coverage and clarity, especially in high-traffic areas such as schools, public squares, and business districts.

Key Components and Coverage

The project encompasses several critical components and will cover major urban areas, including:

• Second Ring Road
• Jinchuan
• Jinqiao
• Ruyi Development Zone
• Tricyclic major importers and exporters

Systems and Functions

The intelligent traffic management system will integrate nine systems and 12 functions, including:

1. Traffic Flow Collection
2. Transportation Guidance System
3. Signal Control Systems
4. Traffic Video Surveillance System
5. Traffic Violations Capture System
6. Bayonet System
7. Mobile Police Units
8. PGIS (Public Geographic Information System)
9. Integrated Platform

The total investment for this project is estimated at 260 million yuan.

Progress and Implementation

As of April 1, the city has made significant strides in the project:

• Electronic Police Equipment: 287 sets of old equipment have been dismantled and handed over to the traffic police. The poles have been sent back to the processing plant for refurbishment.
• Fiber Optic Cable: Out of the 600 km design, 161 km of fiber optic cable has been laid, covering 40 routing intervals.
• Illegal Capture System: Out of 918 design points, 72 foundations have been excavated, and 55 concrete pourings have been completed.

Technological Advancements

High-Definition Cameras

The transition from SD to high-definition cameras marks a significant upgrade. These cameras will provide clearer images, aiding in better traffic management and security monitoring.

Infineon's TPMS Sensor SP35

Infineon, a leader in the Asia-Pacific TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) market, has introduced the SP35 sensor. This next-generation sensor integrates the wheel module's sensing and transmitter functions, combining the MCU, sensor, and RF transmitter into a single package. This integration reduces the number of components, enhancing efficiency and reliability.

NXP's P2SC Series Signal Conditioners

NXP's P2SC series, particularly the PCH7970, is designed for continuous tire pressure monitoring. It features an 8 RISC core that provides general-purpose I/O control for external circuitry and a 12-bit ADC for monitoring the output voltage of the piezoresistive bridge sensor.

Expected Outcomes

Upon completion, the intelligent traffic management and video surveillance system is expected to:

• Enhance Traffic Management: By collecting, processing, and publishing traffic information through multiple channels, the system will improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
• Improve Public Safety: Enhanced video surveillance will aid in monitoring and managing traffic behavior, reducing accidents, and improving overall urban safety.
• Efficient Resource Allocation: The system will enable better scheduling and organization of traffic resources, ensuring smoother operations.

Interesting Stats

• Global Intelligent Traffic Management Market: The global market for intelligent traffic management systems is projected to reach $43.4 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2020 to 2025 (source).
• Reduction in Traffic Accidents: Cities that have implemented intelligent traffic management systems have seen a reduction in traffic accidents by up to 30% (source).

Conclusion

Hohhot City's initiative to implement an intelligent traffic management and video surveillance system is a significant step towards modernizing urban infrastructure. With advanced technologies and comprehensive coverage, the project promises to enhance traffic flow, improve public safety, and set a benchmark for other cities to follow.
