Harbin Smart City Project – Deploying Urban Traffic Monitoring Systems, Unfazed by Extreme Cold, Ensuring Stable Traffic Data Collection
Application Background As a sub‑provincial city, Harbin serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of Northeast China. With its rich historical heritage, the city faces growing pressure on urban mobility due to a sharp increase in vehicle numbers that mismatches the road capacity of its older districts. Moreover, Harbin’s high‑latitude climate brings icy conditions for nearly half of the year, making traditional traffic infrastructure inadequate for maintaining performance during rain, snow, and other severe weather conditions.
Solution As part of Harbin’s smart transportation initiative, over a thousand phased‑array millimeter‑wave radar units were deployed across the city’s main urban areas. These devices are designed to operate reliably in harsh weather, accurately collecting real‑time road traffic data. The system provides a robust and steady data engine to support traffic congestion mitigation and optimization in the “Ice City.”
Outcomes & Evaluation • Deployment at more than 300 intersections • Stable traffic data collection in extreme cold environments • Real‑time simulation of intersection traffic status • Comprehensive urban traffic flow analysis
