AI Innovations Leading the Way – Smart Mobility Grand Award Winner Won the “Award of the Year”

HONG KONG, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Steered by the Digital Policy Office and organised by GS1 Hong Kong, the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2024 – Smart Mobility Award Presentation Ceremony was successfully held on 22 Nov, 2024. The Smart Mobility Award includes 3 streams – Smart Tourism, Smart Logistics and Smart Transport. Selected contestants were awarded with Gold, Silver, Bronze Awards, or Certificate of Merit after undergoing adjudication processes and subsequent interviews by the judging panel. In addition, in a bid to foster the innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI), a new “Best Use of AI” award was introduced this year to recognise and honour outstanding achievements in harnessing the power of AI in respective areas.

This year’s “Smart Mobility Grand Award” was awarded to the project “Public transport ridership simulation and railway planning – MTR to Keep Cities Moving” jointly developed by MTR Corporation and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The project also received the “Smart Mobility (Smart Transport) Gold Award” and the “Best Use of AI Award”, and was honoured with the “Award of the Year”, selected by the Grand Judging Panel from the eight Grand Awards. The project utilises a large-scale dynamic simulation model with digital twin to visualise crowd distribution for station and traffic management, facilitating a systematic decision-making process for railway planning. The judging panel unanimously recognised that the solution excellently demonstrated how to combine open data with MTR’s passenger data to adjust simulation models. This not only allows for a more accurate forecast of active passengers’ behaviour patterns but also enables automatic updates, ensuring timely adjustments to travel arrangements in response to unexpected situations, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the transportation system, bringing substantial benefits to society as a whole.

Other outstanding award-winning projects include: a smart prototype solution for Chinese medicinal powders that combines industrial robots, vision programmes, cameras, sensors, along with mechanical structures and control software; a one-stop supply chain management platform for aircraft parts that integrates warehouse management system with digital technology; a Smart City App integrating advanced indoor mapping and positioning technology for barrier-free navigation.

“We are delighted to witness the increasing adoption of AI technology, which is driving innovation and technological development locally. This year, many of the winning projects showcased exceptional creativity, integrating AI elements and aligning with the global sustainability trend, while addressing various pain points in response to industry needs. This reflects both the remarkable achievements and immense potential of Hong Kong’s talent. GS1 Hong Kong will continue to collaborate with the government and industries to promote ‘Go Digital, Go Green‘ through international standards, shaping Hong Kong into a world-class smart city,” said Anna Lin, Chief Executive of GS1 Hong Kong.
