David Shi, Vice President of ICT Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei, stated that the company will build a digital and intelligent platform for the transportation industry. This platform aims to connect data streams related to passengers, goods, business, and revenue.

He added that Huawei plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) across various sectors, including rail, road, logistics, aviation, and ports. This integration is designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of integrated transportation systems, while also increasing connectivity with the tourism, energy, and commerce industries.

Experts at the forum highlighted that AI is becoming the "nervous center" of smart transportation systems. This central role of AI is crucial for optimizing operations and decision-making within complex transport networks.

Carlos Lopez Gutierrez, Director of SICE's Transportation Unit, confirmed their collaboration with Huawei to apply AI and edge computing in diverse transportation scenarios. This partnership seeks to improve infrastructure connectivity and the overall reliability of transportation systems.

In the aviation sector, Reha Cetin, Chief Information Officer of Istanbul Airport, noted that the airport is advancing its "Airport 5.0" digital transformation program. This initiative leverages Huawei's ICT technology to create a new generation airport experience, focusing on enhanced passenger services and operational efficiency.

For ports, Yang Rong of Tianjin Port Group stated that they are integrating technologies such as 5G, AI, cloud computing, and autonomous vehicles. The goal is to develop a large-scale smart port model that improves operational flow and reduces manual intervention.

Huawei has developed a comprehensive digital platform for the global transportation industry. This platform includes sensor systems, network connectivity, data platforms, and operational applications. Leveraging this foundation, the company and its partners introduced five solutions tailored for four key areas:

Road: The transportation operations coordination center (TOCC) solution facilitates traffic coordination, transportation monitoring, and supports traffic management. This is particularly useful during peak periods like holidays or for multimodal transport operations.

Rail: Huawei has developed a new generation transmission network for railway operating systems. This network offers high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability, essential for operational communication and efficient train dispatch.

Customs: The company launched a big data-driven risk control solution. This system integrates various data sources and can detect risks within seconds, addressing the limitations of traditional methods that often rely on manual processes or restricted data scope.

Ports: Huawei introduced a comprehensive port operations coordination system based on chain-of-thought (CoT) technology. This technology streamlines port exploitation planning, from berth allocation to container transport, reducing planning time from hours to minutes.

Additionally, the smart horizontal transport 2.0 solution enables traditional container trucks and autonomous vehicles to operate simultaneously. This system can coordinate over 300 vehicles at once, reducing the need for manual intervention to below 0,1%.

Expanding the digital transportation ecosystem

At the forum, Huawei and its partners also announced the commercial deployment of a 1,4 GHz 5G FWA network for railways. This is reportedly the world's first fixed wireless access network in this sector, aimed at upgrading connectivity systems for railway lines in Indonesia.

Furthermore, Huawei collaborated with Shandong Port Group to build a global smart port demonstration model. This initiative applies big data and AI models to optimize operations and planning within the port.

According to Huawei, the company has provided technology to over 100 ports, more than 210 airports and airlines, over 300 urban metro lines, and more than 200 logistics enterprises worldwide.

Moving forward, Huawei stated it will continue its "platform combined with ecosystem" strategy. This involves focusing on developing digital infrastructure for transportation hubs, transport networks, and passenger-cargo flows, to accelerate the digitalization of the global logistics industry.
