Create smart public transportation to make travel more convenient
Vigorously developing intelligent public transportation is the direction of modern smart city development and an effective measure to achieve high-quality development of urban transportation.
According to statistics, from 2010 to 2022, the number of public buses and trams operating nationwide increased from 375000 to 700000. With the continuous increase in urban public transportation construction and steady growth in ownership, the technological content of equipment has also been rapidly improved, mainly reflected in the continuous improvement of dispatch management technology and overall intelligent level of travel services. This not only better meets urban transportation needs, but also becomes an important lever to promote the development of smart cities in China. The fundamental purpose of promoting intelligent public transportation is to improve the quality of public transportation services, guide the urban public to prioritize public transportation, and assist in urban transportation and sustainable development.
The public transportation industry was originally a traditional industry. With the development of new technologies such as 5G communication, intelligent vehicles, and vehicle road collaboration, public transportation, as an operator, should not be a passive participant in accepting new technologies, but rather a practitioner.

In line with the vision and mission of making people's lives easier, Kalian Technology Co., Ltd. currently provides intelligent terminals and application systems in fields such as smart travel, smart campus, smart community, smart parking, smart new retail, smart tourism, and benefiting the people's mall. It is widely used in public transportation, taxis, campuses, corporate commuting, cafeteria catering, tourist attractions, parking lots, community properties, supermarkets, convenience stores, and other fields.

Compared with traditional intelligent public transportation, intelligent public transportation has two main characteristics. Firstly, in terms of technical features, new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, autonomous driving, intelligent networking, and electric vehicles should be integrated and applied to public transportation operations, services, management, and other aspects, to improve the intelligence, personalization, and low-carbon level of existing public transportation; Secondly, in terms of operation management and service quality, it is necessary to create a new type of public transportation system with higher service levels and more humanization. At present, the key technologies and application fields for the innovative development of smart public transportation in Chinese cities mainly include: electronic station signs and smart bus stops; Bus data brain and customized bus; Intelligent connected public transportation, etc.

Whether a bus is equipped with one or two card readers mainly depends on the fare calculation method of the route: single-fare routes usually only require passengers to tap their cards once when boarding, so one card reader is sufficient; while distance-based fare routes require passengers to tap their cards both when boarding and alighting to calculate the actual trip cost, hence two card readers are needed.
