Smart City Gathers Momentum
The EMSD upgraded the Automatic Vehicle Clearance Support System for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port, optimising the vehicle clearance process. Additionally, we developed an artificial intelligence technology for the district cooling system at the Port to adjust the chilled water flow rate, supply air volume and temperature according to passenger traffic data for energy saving.
We designed and installed the HKeToll system, and carried out commissioning tests for the free-flow tolling service at various government-tolled tunnels for the Transport Department during the year. Also, we provided technical advice on the system of the Time-varying Tolls at three Road Harbour Crossings implemented in December 2023.
The new Traffic Control and Surveillance System at Eastern Harbour Crossing allows the client to monitor tunnel traffic in real time. If severe weather or an emergency occurs, contingency plans will be proposed to enable the client to manage the traffic more effectively.
The EMSD took the Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) approach to replace an air-handling unit at the Princess Margaret Hospital for the Hospital Authority. When compared to the traditional approach, using the MiMEP method can not only simplify the installation process, but also enhance the effciency of replacement works, thereby reducing the impact on daily operation of the hospital.
We carried out improvement works on the Smart Wireless Lighting Control System at the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital. The system can be operated through tablet computers and wireless consoles to adjust brightness and zoning of lighting anytime, and collect energy consumption data for analysis.
We are trialling a Smart Emergency Lighting Testing System in police stations to detect self-contained battery lighting failure. The system uses Internet of Things technology to collect and analyse real-time operational data of the emergency lighting system, and issues warning signals once potential problems are identified.
The EMSD collaborated with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department to upgrade a number of facilities at the Yuen Long Theatre, including an integrated revolve, wagon and sprung floor system, an electric fly system, and a comprehensive set of lighting controllers, which have dramatically enhanced the visual impact of performance and the experience of audience.
The golf ball picking robot we designed, procured and modified for the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, can navigate autonomously along its preset route and collect balls on golf driving ranges, thus enhancing work effciency. It is also equipped with a lawn mowing function, which greatly reduces the workload of staff.
In response to the operational needs of the Hawker Control Teams, we supplied body worn video cameras to the teams, taking into account factors such as image stability, weight and durability of battery, and pre-recording function in standby mode during the procurement process. The use of body worn video cameras has significantly reduced conflicts, proving its effectiveness.
We introduced a Smart Management System with Radio Frequency Identification tags at the Diamond Hill Crematorium to ensure the accuracy of the information on the coffins and provide real-time tracking of the condition of the coffins throughout the cremation process. Additionally, the use of Autonomous Mobile Robots for Coffin Manoeuvring automates the process further, thus enhancing operational efficiency.
The remote area location tracking device utilises Government-Wide Internet of Things Network for transmission of information and is equipped with an SOS button. In case personnel wearing the devices encounter danger at sea, the tracking system can locate them, thus enabling rescue teams to quickly initiate search and rescue operations.
The Artificial Intelligence-powered Long-range Video Analytics System installed at the Jockey Club Wong Shek Water Sports Centre can accurately identify capsized boats and human distress signals through the images captured, so that lifeguards can respond and initiate rescue operations immediately, and thereby enhancing the safety of aquatic activities.
The EMSD has started the preparation work for the 15th National Games to be held in 2025, and carried out upgrade works for a range of equipment at the Hong Kong Velodrome, including audio, closed-circuit television and timing systems, and electronic scoreboards. Manufactured in Switzerland, the professional timing system is built to high specifications and has undergone repeated testing to ensure accurate timing for cycling races.
