Smart service areas and modern integrated service facilities, being a comprehensively upgraded new type of transportation service carrier, adopt intelligent technology as their core. By providing services such as intelligent energy supply, catering and retail, and rest areas, they cover various transportation scenarios of highways, railways, and aviation, thus, they can accurately meet users' diverse needs and unveil their significant practical value.
In the case of highway transportation scenarios, their service capabilities are constructed around the necessities of long-distance travel. The intelligent energy supply system enables multi-mode charging (also includes fast charging and slow charging) to accommodate various vehicle models; additionally, it can anticipate traffic peaks by means of data analysis and thus, allocate power resources in advance so as to prevent queues for the drivers. To implement the intelligent catering and retail, the department has decided on the use of such equipment as unmanned supermarkets and self-service ordering machines—travelers can finish their purchases through the QR code scanning, and the system adjusts food and beverages according to the season (e.g., by adding cold drinks in the summer). Intelligent rest areas provide online reservation services: travelers book their rest time slots and seats through a mini-program. The rooms have intelligent temperature control and light adjustment systems that can be changed with a single click according to one's personal preferences, thus giving the user more rest comfort.
In railway hub scenarios, the facilities are mainly concentrated on the efficient transfer services. The intelligent energy supply system furnishes the lighting, security inspection, and other equipment of a high-speed railway station with stable electricity; on the other hand, it places wireless charging seats in waiting rooms to fulfill the needs of the travelers charging their devices at any time. For intelligent catering and retail, the system understands the travelers' preferences through big data—during the morning and evening peak hours, it raises the supply of convenient breakfasts and quick meals. In addition, it permits online ordering along with in-station pickup, thus, the travelers' waiting time is greatly cut down. The intelligent rest areas are installed with short-term rest pods, which are excellent for the transfer travelers who want to take a quick nap. Each pod is equipped with luggage storage lockers and an intelligent alarm clock to ensure that the travelers do not miss their trains.
In aviation scenarios, the facilities mainly revolve around flight support and passenger experience. The intelligent energy supply system furnishes airport runway lighting and the ground service equipment with power; in addition, it offers very accurate fuel refilling services to the aircrafts, ensuring that the refilling is done in a safe and efficient way through intelligent monitoring. For intelligent catering and retail, there are numerous stores set up in the terminal building—their opening hours can be altered according to the flight delays, and the pre-ordering service is also available in which the passengers can get the meals directly after the landing. The intelligent rest areas have been equipped with several functional zones such as sleep pods and business workspaces to target the different needs of the passengers. The intelligent sound insulation system in the sleep pods keeps the airport noise away, thus, allowing the passengers to get a good rest.
The benefits of these facilities are very conspicuous. From a user experience point of view, intelligent services cut down the waiting time, and the personalized functions satisfy the needs of different groups, thus, travel comfort is deeply enhanced. When talking about the operational efficiency, big data analysis leads to the optimization of the resource allocation, which in turn reduces energy consumption and operational costs. From the safety perspective, intelligent monitoring systems perform real-time hidden danger detection tasks, thus, they secure the entire service procedure and give more quality support to the transportation travel.
