The dedicated transportation communication network is a communication network specific to the transport sector, and is an industry-specific information infrastructure that is created to bring intelligent collaboration to the whole transport system, e.g., vehicles, roads, ships, aircraft, stations, yards, etc. The main features of the network are wide coverage, security, reliability, low latency, and high bandwidth. It is not a single communication technology but rather a comprehensive network system that combines different wireless communication technologies and is deeply customized in accordance with the transport business requirements.
Its main worth and tactical position can be summed up to the following three points:
1. Data Artery and Collaboration Foundation
The network is the "data artery" of the transport industry, thus it is the main vehicle for the instant and dependable communication of a huge volume of perception and decision-making data to and from the intelligent vehicles, infrastructure, and operation systems. It is the primary source of support for the training and implementation of large-scale integrated transport models and the achievement of cross-modal and full-chain business collaboration.
2. Intelligent Neural Network and Driving Engine
The network is the "intelligent neural network" that links the smart transportation system as a whole. In addition to data transmission, it uses its omnipresent connectivity as a means of communication for real-time decision-making and remote control in AI applications. It is the main power source for the realization of revolutionary scenarios such as intelligent driving, intelligent operation and maintenance, and smart logistics.
3. Trusted Foundation and Strategic Guarantee
Being an industry-specific private network, it provides a unified, trusted, and single-communicative environment that is self-controllable. The network is a strategic safeguard and trusted digital base for ensuring transport safety, strengthening emergency response capacities, constructing a trust-worthy industry governance system, and nurturing new industries and business models.
In brief, the dedicated transport communication network is an absolutely necessary "nervous system" and "digital base" of the future smart integrated three-dimensional transport network. The construction level of it directly decides how far, deep, and high the transport sector's intelligent development will be.
Applications
Integrated Assisted Driving: On the basis of already existing equipment such as ETC gantries on highways, and by implementing an approach like "multi-pole integration" to establish a vehicle-road-cloud collaboration communication network can be locally targeted with area coverage of the key regions. This network is the platform for intelligent assisted driving demonstration application and technical testing, as well as the promotion of the public travel experience.
Intelligent Railway: The implementation of collaborative control and group operation of intelligent trains requires the creation of a secure and reliable dedicated railway communication network that covers train-ground connections. The network is a significant infrastructure for the realization of intelligent train driving, full-road condition self-perception, intelligent operation and maintenance, and unified transportation dispatching, as well as a core component of the intelligent railway standard system.
Smart Shipping & Smart Civil Aviation: While the main goal of the dedicated railway communication network is to realize real-time train-ground collaboration and ensure the intelligent group operation of trains, the dedicated civil aviation communication network - which includes air traffic control (ATC), airports, and airlines - is the central nervous system for the implementation of flight operations, ground support, and ATC command through data interconnection and intelligent collaboration.
Smart Postal Services: The establishment of a dedicated postal communication network is aimed at achieving real-time interconnection of the whole process from warehouse sorting to last-mile delivery and it is very important in the support of intelligent dispatching and full-link information connectivity.
Smart Construction & Maintenance: The introduction of a dedicated transport communication network is a way to ensure a stable and trustworthy transmission channel for the infrastructure monitoring part of the data that comes from the intelligent infrastructure, robot inspection commands, and high-precision map updates, by which a person can understand this is very important in the realization of full-process intelligence in construction and maintenance.
Intermodal Transportation & Smart Logistics: The creation of a dedicated transportation communication network makes it possible for electronic documents, operation data, and positioning information to be transmitted in real-time and securely across different transportation modes. It is used as the main means to facilitate "single-ticket" intermodal transportation and intelligent hub collaboration.
