Smart life is a common experience in Tianjin Binhai New Area
TIANJIN, China, Oct. 18, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

In Tianjin Binhai New Area, artificial intelligence is entering everyone's 
life. 

In Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, if one wants to take bus for work, perhaps 
one can encounter a free smart bus in the shape of a lovely panda, which can 
sense and identify its surroundings including vehicles, vulnerable groups on 
the road and traffic lights, while controlling the vehicle to achieve automatic 
acceleration, deceleration, steering, emergency braking, lane change and other 
functions. 

On one's way driving home, there are intelligent traffic lights at the eight 
key intersections near the Rainbow Bridge, which can be adjusted and dispatched 
according to the real-time traffic conditions by sensing the traffic flow and 
queuing length thanks to the application of big data, Internet of Things, edge 
calculation and other technologies. These traffic lights are as if monitoring 
traffic conditions to make corresponding adjustments.

In the evening, one can visit the China-Singapore Friendship Library, where all 
kinds of self-service devices can be found. The library enables navigation 
services to help borrow books, and book-returning via facial recognition, and 
has a free-walking intelligent robot "Little Library" to serve readers. 

State Grid Corporation of China's Tianjin Binhai New Area branch has deployed 
an intelligent early warning system for distribution station in some pilot 
areas within the eco-city, which achieves accurate on-line early warning and 
monitoring of potential partial discharge hazards, and let eco-city users enjoy 
the "zero power outage" service thanks to innovative applications of the 
electromagnetic wave spatial positioning technology.

It is a new exploration for Binhai New Area to integrate cutting-edge 
technologies into life to better serve the people and let everyone feel the 
power of science and technology.
