HiSilicon Smart Transportation

Challenges

The rapid development of smart cities has placed greater strain on urban transportation networks. Traffic management departments are now tasked alleviating congestion, improving traffic conditions, and improving safety. That's where smart transportation solutions come into the picture. With the assistance AI and IoT, smart transportation has spurred a new wave of infrastructure reconstruction. New paradigms promise to boost the efficiency of the urban transportation systems across the board. This paves the way for the construction of bona fide smart cities.

Lack of accurate, real-time information

Real-time traffic information and interactions are crucial to all participants, given the sheer number of possible traffic scenarios and weather conditions.
Difficulty of upgrading digital infrastructure

The digitalization of road infrastructure, including signal lights, radars, cameras, requires a lot of time and effort.

Highlights

Our comprehensive and leading product portfolio covers fields like image capture and processing, AI edge computing, and 5G+V2X, and provides vital data for urban transportation operations and planning purposes. Intelligent cameras are widely deployed to capture snapshots of traffic violations and govern traffic, providing a real-time component to urban transportation management. V2X technology makes travel safer and more efficient. 5G high-speed transmission facilitates instantaneous responses for the massive multi-source data in the system. With these technologies, traffic guidance information can be presented to divers and smart vehicles in a quick and visually-intuitive manner. Our solutions breathe new life into the smart transportation paradigm, for the construction of a next-generation cohesive transportation system with seamless coordination between people, vehicles, roads, and surroundings.

Intelligent perception, assisting decision-making

Our IPC and NVR SoCs feature excellent 24/7 image capture abilities and edge AI compute capabilities. They are used in multimodal perception devices to implement intelligent identification, detection, HD image capture, and analysis. Built on the heterogeneous multi-core processing framework and Linux+LiteOS system architecture, the SoCs support concurrent tasks while remaining highly-responsive.
5G real-time communications, for safer traveling

5G is utilized to facilitate real-time communications between vehicles and roads. V2X directly connects to the control technology and advanced HD video backhaul technology, with latency of no more than 20 ms. These technologies work together to obtain real-time information about road conditions and make predictions that help avoid traffic accidents.
5G modules, for more efficient development

Our 5G module solution includes chipsets like baseband processing, RF transceiver, low-noise amplifier (LNA), and power management unit (PMU), as well as commercial-verified reference designs, dramatically easing the module development process.
Intelligent connectivity, spurring road infrastructure digitization

Modules embedded with the V2X function can be installed in road auxiliary devices, such as traffic lights. The modules integrate various perception data to provide comprehensive road information for all traffic participants, via real-time interaction with vehicle information and traffic command centers.
