Z-COM unveils 5G smart transportation solution at 2024 Smart City Summit and Expo in Taipei
Z-COM , a leading innovator in telecommunications , exhibited its innovative 5G smart transportation solutions at the 2024 Smart City Summit and Expo in Taipei . The showcase highlighted the ‘ 5G-driven Intelligent Transportation Technology and Service Innovation and Industry Development Programme ’, sponsored by the Ministry of Transportation and Communication ( MOTC ), with a focus on the ‘ Danhai Light Rail ’ project .
To accelerate the Digital Transformation in transportation , MOTC initiated a five-year plan in 2021 , investing over NT $ 300 million to propel various ITC companies in the development of 5G smart transportation and innovative applications . In alignment with the government ’ s initiative , Z-COM collaborated with partners in 2023 , leveraging advanced communication to enhance the service efficiency of the Danhai Light Rail operated by the New Taipei Metro Corporation .
Key highlights of Z-COM ’ s project include :
1 . Heterogeneous network integration : Leveraging the ultralow latency and high-speed capabilities of 5G integrated with WiFi 6 technology , Z-COM ’ s solution significantly improves transmission efficiency for the Danhai Light Rail , resulting in an enhanced average train speed .
2 . AI / ML analysis of Big Data : The project seamlessly integrates various IoT devices and sensors , utilising Z-COM ’ s AI / ML technology to monitor the temperature of pantographs and cables on trains , as well as traffic signals and foreign object detection at intersections . This real-time information benefits train drivers and control centres , leading to improve operational efficiency , reduce cost , and enhance system security .
3 . Bidirectional cybersecurity protection : Z-COM integrates AI-generated cybersecurity firewalls in both the gateway and zMEC at edge , automatically learning the network behaviour of zMEC containers to establish a robust security protection mechanism .
Project highlights :
• Ultra-low latency , super-high network speed : Harnessing the characteristics of high bandwidth and low latency of 5G NR and WiFi 6 , the project integrates wireless and wired network nodes , providing intelligent management to increase transmission efficiency .
• Visualised display of recommended speeds : Utilising a visual approach to suggest speeds to the train driver , aiding the effective management for the control centre .
• Bidirectional security anomaly visualisation : Establishing a bidirectional security anomaly visualisation system improves the security schemes .
Z-COM ’ s project is poised to become a paradigm for the successful integration of light rail traffic and urban traffic control , offering a model for other cities to enhance operational efficiency while prioritising safety , reducing travel time , and elevating the quality of services for increased passenger satisfaction . �
