On September 18th, the Shenzhen Communications Committee held the launch ceremony for the 2017 Public Transport Awareness Week and No-Car Day at the Minle subway bus transit station. Liu Qingsheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, along with other municipal government officials, attended the event and concluded the ceremony after experiencing the morning bus ride.

Leaders from the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Commission, the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, the League Committee, the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, the Finance Committee, the Habitat and Environment Committee, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the City Public Security Traffic Police Bureau, the Public Transport Bureau, and the Longhua District Government also participated in the event. During the ceremony, officials presented awards to the "Top Ten Moving People in Shenzhen's Public Transport Industry" and handed out appointment letters to 100 public transport supervisors.

The reporter learned that among the top ten individuals, some were from corporate management, while others were ordinary drivers, conductors, and maintenance workers. They have dedicated themselves to serving the public, reducing costs for their companies, overcoming technical challenges, and ensuring safe operations. For instance, Zhao Yanlong, a tire repairman from the Eastern Public Transport Company, taught himself Japanese and studied hundreds of documents from both China and abroad. Over 12 years, he has revived 10,000 tires, extending their lifespan by more than 10,000 kilometers and saving the company over 100,000 yuan annually in maintenance costs.

Yu Boming, Director of the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Commission, stated that during the Public Transport Awareness Week, various activities such as shared travel days, smart travel days, quality service days, car-free days, and open days for public transportation would be organized. The event aimed to promote the full electrification of public transport, accelerate the integration of rail, regular buses, and urban rail systems, and provide citizens with high-quality, satisfactory transportation services.

As of August 2017, Shenzhen had established 1,019 bus routes, 10,279 bus stops, and 16,873 buses, including 14,825 electric buses. Based on passenger demand, the transportation department planned multiple types of routes, including express lines, trunk lines, branch lines, tourist lines, holiday lines, and microbuses. Meanwhile, the city’s metro network was rapidly expanding, with 8 lines already in operation and a total mileage of 285 kilometers. Urban public transport has become faster and more convenient. Currently, the average daily passenger volume is 10.67 million trips, with a public transport sharing rate of 55%. Regular buses carry about 4.74 million passengers daily, while the metro handles approximately 4.5 million.

Yu Gang, Chairman of the Bus Group, revealed at the event that the company would continue to enhance safety and explore intelligent technologies. Every bus will be equipped with window breakers, and facial recognition technology will be used to monitor driver behavior and fatigue, ensuring safer rides for passengers. The intelligent dispatch system will be continuously improved to allow mobile phone-based route planning and real-time vehicle tracking. The company will also collaborate with the National Intelligent Transport Center and Huawei to develop autonomous driving technology. “By the end of October this year, we will start testing two unmanned bus lines at South University and other locations,” he said.

After the ceremony, Liu Qingsheng and other officials took a fully electric bus to the Civic Center to experience the efficiency of the Meilinguan bus lane during the morning rush hour. They also learned about the mobile payment function and the WeChat scan code complaint system. It was reported that currently, four bus routes—B683, 12, 17, and 213—support mobile code scanning for payments. In addition, the city’s buses have introduced a “scan code suggestion channel,” allowing passengers to provide feedback and suggestions anytime by scanning QR codes posted on the windows of buses.

Industrial UPS

Industrial UPS is a specialized power protection system designed to provide backup power to critical industrial equipment in the event of a power outage or fluctuation. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, chemical processing, telecommunications, and data centers.

Performance:
Industrial UPS systems are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide reliable and stable power to sensitive equipment. They offer high levels of protection against power disturbances like surges, spikes, sags, and voltage fluctuations. These UPS systems typically have a high fault tolerance and can provide instantaneous power transfer during a power outage, minimizing downtime and preventing damage to equipment.

Industrial UPS systems can deliver power in different forms, including online, line-interactive, and offline. Online UPS systems provide continuous power protection by continuously converting AC power to DC and then back to AC. Line-interactive UPS systems regulate voltage fluctuations while being connected to the AC power source. Offline UPS systems are the simplest and provide basic power backup during outages.

Application Scenarios:
1. Manufacturing: Industrial UPS systems are crucial in manufacturing plants where downtime can result in significant financial losses. They protect critical equipment such as robotic systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and control systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing data loss.

2. Oil and Gas: In the oil and gas industry, UPS systems are used to safeguard critical equipment like pumps, compressors, and control systems. They ensure uninterrupted power supply, which is crucial for maintaining safety and preventing accidents in hazardous environments.

3. Chemical Processing: Industrial UPS systems are essential in chemical processing plants where precise control of equipment is necessary. They protect sensitive instruments, control systems, and data acquisition systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing loss of valuable data.

4. Telecommunications: UPS systems play a vital role in the telecommunications industry, protecting critical communication infrastructure such as servers, switches, routers, and data centers. They provide uninterrupted power supply, ensuring continuous connectivity and preventing service disruptions.

5. Data Centers: Industrial UPS systems are widely used in data centers to protect servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. They provide backup power during outages, preventing data loss and ensuring continuous operation of critical services.
