"Chongqing's public transport system has entered a new era of innovation with the pilot launch of a drone intelligent inspection system for bus station management. This pioneering initiative utilizes autonomous drone inspection technology to monitor station facilities, passenger flow, and surrounding traffic conditions. The system represents a significant advancement in Chongqing intelligent transportation infrastructure, showcasing how AI drone surveillance can create a more efficient and secure public transport environment."
Recently, Chongqing Public Transport Group successfully conducted the first test flight of its drone inspection system at the Fuyou Road Bus Station, marking a significant milestone in the integrated application of "low-altitude operations + station inspection."
This low-altitude intelligent management and inspection system, independently developed by Chongqing Public Transport, integrates high-definition video, AI recognition, and precise positioning capabilities. It enables automatic route planning, real-time monitoring, and intelligent identification and early warning of anomalies. It effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional manual inspections in terms of efficiency, accuracy, safety, and weather adaptability, providing reliable technical support for station operations, maintenance, and safety.
This pilot program is a significant exploration of Chongqing Public Transport's efforts to establish a digital management model based on "air-ground collaboration." In the future, the company will gradually expand its all-weather, full-coverage, data-driven intelligent inspection system to meet the operational and maintenance needs of diverse stations and complex scenarios, further enhancing the intelligent management of the urban public transport system.
"The drone inspection system deployed across Chongqing's public transport network operates with advanced computer vision capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring of station areas. This smart public transit solution allows for proactive identification of maintenance issues, crowd management optimization, and enhanced security surveillance. The autonomous drone inspection platform demonstrates how transportation infrastructure monitoring can be revolutionized through unmanned aerial systems, setting a new benchmark for bus station management not only in China but for urban transit systems worldwide."
