From September 16 to September 20, 2024, the 30th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSC) was successfully held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Hosted by the European Transport Research Alliance and co-hosted by the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITSA)and the Intelligent Transport Systems Asia-Pacific Association (ITSA Pacific), SUTPC showcased its latest innovations at the China Intelligent Transportation Pavilion, earning global acclaim from peers.
The World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems(ITSC) is the world’s premier academic event in intelligent transportation, attracting the largest international participation. SUTPC has been invited to participate in previous congresses and actively shared the innovative experience of China's intelligent transportation. With the theme of "Mobility Driven by Intelligent Transport", this congress was divided into two main parts: conferences and exhibitions. The exhibition at the congress concentrated on displaying the cutting-edge technologies in the field of intelligent transportation. Intelligent transportation associations from many countries such as the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and China led domestic enterprises to jointly exhibit, and more than 300 intelligent transportation enterprises participated.
To promote the development of smart cities and future transportation systems, SUTPC showcased a series of innovative solutions and products on-site, including the new-generation autonomous intelligent transportation system TransPaaS platform, the new energy charging, storage, and discharging network-integrated platform, the low-altitude digital management and service platform, and the city-wide parking reservation platform. On-site, it received dozens of visiting teams from different countries, including the Singapore Land Transport Authority, Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre (ADITC), Riyadh Municipality, Saudi Aramco, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. They fully recognized the practical application scenarios of the intelligent connected vehicle supervision platform, the digital twin foundation, the application of AI technology, the data integration capabilities of the integrated platform, as well as SUTPC's successful cases in the Middle East. Many units, such as the Riyadh Municipality of Saudi Arabia, extended invitations for further communication and cooperation after the congress.
During the congress, Yang Yuxing, the deputy general manager of SUTPC, met with a delegation led by Abdullah Al Marzooqi, the director of the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre. In early 2024, SUTPC signed a smart city cooperation project and an innovation laboratory co-construction agreement with Abu Dhabi. Deputy General Manager Yang Yuxing conveyed the expectations of the chairmen of Shenzhen Smart City Group and SUTPC, hoping to make the Abu Dhabi project a benchmark overseas project relying on the strategic cooperation between the two sides, and invited the Abu Dhabi Transport Authority to visit Shenzhen again to view the latest achievements. Director Abdullah Al Marzooqi highly recognized and commended SUTPC’s dedication, and expressed that the two sides should take the current project cooperation as a starting point to establish a more long-term cooperative relationship.
The 2024 China-Middle East and North Africa Intelligent Transportation Development and Cooperation Conference, hosted by the China ITS Association and co-hosted by SUTPC, was successfully held in Dubai on the afternoon of September 18th. Relevant leaders from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Transport of China congratulated the conference through videos and congratulatory letters. Leaders from the Chinese Embassy in the United Arab Emirates, the Office of the Vice President for Science and Technology of Iran, the UAE Intelligent Autonomous Systems Committee, and the Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Driving Department of the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology of Oman attended the event and delivered speeches. Representatives from relevant departments of many cities in the Middle East and North Africa announced the construction demands in the field of intelligent transportation at the conference. Senior experts from the special committees of the China ITS Association and representatives of well-known Chinese intelligent transportation enterprises such as SUTPC shared the successful experience and mature business models of China's intelligent transportation development through keynote speeches and case sharing.
Yang Yuxing, the deputy general manager of SUTPC, delivered a speech titled "The New-Generation Intelligent Traffic Management System Promotes the Sustainable Development of Urban Transportation". He shared the integrated urban transportation digital foundation independently developed by SUTPC, relying on its long-term experience in the planning, construction, and integrated operation and regulation of urban transportation systems. Taking Shenzhen as an example, he introduced how to support professional operation services through intelligent means, including the construction of large-scale infrastructure to enhance urban competitiveness, the integrated management and control of sea, land, air, and rail to improve the urban environment, low-carbon and sustainable operation to serve the industrial economy, and proactive operation and maintenance to ensure the safety of urban lifelines. He also highlighted the latest practical achievements of Shenzhen in the fields of low-altitude and vehicle-energy-road-cloud projects. He said that Shenzhen has built a complex transportation megasystem covering all travel modes of sea, land, air, and rail after nearly 40 years of rapid development. In the future, international metropolises similar to Dubai will also emerge in the Middle East. SUTPC sincerely invited customers, peers, and partners to jointly expand the global market and build a new-generation intelligent transportation system.
As a representative of outstanding Chinese enterprises, Deputy General Manager Yang Yuxing accepted an exclusive interview from China Arab TV on hot topics such as what lessons the development experience of intelligent transportation and smart cities in Shenzhen and even China can offer to cities in West Asia and North Africa. China Arab TV is headquartered in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. It is the only Sino-foreign joint-venture satellite TV station on the traditional Silk Road, and its signals cover 22 Arab countries and regions in West Asia and North Africa, reaching nearly 500 million people.
As a globally leading technology company in the construction and operation of future transportation systems, SUTPC actively integrates into the international system. It has set up a wholly-owned holding company in Hong Kong and has carried out extensive global business cooperation with the Middle East and Southeast Asian regions such as the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong. In the future, SUTPC will continue to go global with Chinese technology and high-end services, take on the responsibilities of a state-owned enterprise, serve national strategies, promote the most advanced domestic technologies and products worldwide, continuously enhance its international competitiveness, make greater contributions to the national transportation construction cause, and contribute to the development and progress of the global transportation industry.
