The picture shows the Banshan section of Taihang No. 1 tourist highway. The picture shows the important part of the Great Wall No. 1 tourist highway - Pianguan County Great Wall. The Taiyuan Tower is 66 meters high and the huge annular glass windows provide an excellent view overlooking the runway. "If you want to be rich, build roads first." This familiar saying has always vividly described the importance of "traffic first". Building a strong transportation country is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core. On March 20, 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era: "The central region is an important grain production base, energy and raw material base, modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industrial base and comprehensive transportation hub in my country, and plays an important role in the country. We must consistently implement a series of policy measures for the Party Central Committee to promote the rise of the central region, form a joint force to promote high-quality development, and strive to write a new chapter in the rise of the central region in the Chinese-style modernization construction." Keeping in mind the leader's instructions, Shanxi's transportation is the first. From heavy-duty transportation of the Daqin Railway to the lateral and horizontal journeys of the China-Europe train; from the air tour on the helicopter to the wall-mounted traveling on the Xiongqi Taihang; from the special transportation of the giant crane to the hydrogen energy barge in the coking factory... Inch by inch of steel rails, bridges, routes, from "having" to "good", from "first" to "smooth travel", the land of the Three Jins is reshaping the pattern of mountains and rivers with great changes in transportation, playing the exciting music intertwined by the "border dream" and the rise of the central region. Tongda: The construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network has accelerated and increased efficiency in midsummer, and the heat waves are rolling. Accompanied by the roar of machinery, the large paver is fully fired and evenly "spouts" the asphalt. Several rollers are lined up one after another, and steel wheels are back and forth on the hot asphalt, and the black road surface is slowly formed. On July 16, with the completion of the last section of asphalt pavement, the pavement asphalt paving task of the Shuozhou Yingbin Toll Station project undertaken by Shanxi Road and Bridge Group Ninth Company was successfully completed. In the land of Sanjin, there are rushing waves in the construction of transportation infrastructure. The builders have worked hard and responsible to play the strong voice of progress in engineering construction, built high-quality products under the hot and hot summer, and made every effort to sprint towards the annual goal. The renovation and expansion of Changzhi National Highway Line 208 was invested and constructed by China Communications Construction First Public Bureau Group Co., Ltd. At the construction site, pavers and road rollers operated in concert, and roars came one after another; more than 2,100 builders were busy, and more than 570 large-scale machinery operated efficiently. The Shanxi Second Construction Project Team used the integrated technology system of "pull rod BIM hydraulic jack" to successfully build the Zhangxian beam steel structure of the "Yuzhu Feiliang" comprehensive transportation center project of the third phase of the Taiyuan Wusu International Airport, and the lifting project shortened the construction period by 16 days. The Hengdong to the exit section of the No. 2 Hengdong to the exit section of the Shanxi section of the Xiongan-Xinzhou High-speed Railway was successfully completed recently. The Evergreen Tunnel is a key and difficult control project on the entire line. It has a total length of 10,747 meters, with many bad geology and high safety risks. The project department of China Railway 12th Bureau Second Company has supported it with technology to fully ensure construction safety. The Daxi High-speed Railway, Zhengtai High-speed Railway, Jidayuan High-speed Railway, etc. have been completed and opened to traffic, and Taiyuan is connected with all high-speed EMUs in important surrounding cities; relying on the third phase renovation and expansion project of Taiyuan Wusu International Airport, we will create a new portal for open development in Taiyuan; promote the renovation and upgrading of national and provincial highways, and realize the smooth flow of transit freight and external circumference of regional freight channels... The continuous acceleration of transportation construction has achieved close ties between Shanxi and the central and even the national transportation system, and has continuously accelerated the pace of connecting rivers and seas in Shanxi. According to the "Special Plan for Transportation Infrastructure Interconnection in the Central Urban Agglomeration of Shanxi", by 2025, the central urban agglomeration of Shanxi must basically achieve regional transportation infrastructure interconnection, achieve high-speed rail and airlines in cities, highways in counties, and multiple inter-provincial roads, forming a 2-hour traffic circle in major cities within the central urban agglomeration, a 1-hour regional traffic circle within the Taiyuan urban area, and a 3-hour traffic circle in Taixin-Taiyu half-hour traffic circle. By 2035, a modern high-quality comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will be built to achieve international and domestic interconnection, three-dimensional access to major cities across the country, and effective coverage of urban and rural nodes. In recent years, especially in 2024, the province's high-quality development of transportation undertakings has achieved remarkable results - "Quick-speed access in counties" one year ahead of schedule, all 117 counties have entered the "high-speed era", and the mileage of highways in the province has reached 6,446 kilometers. After seven years, the three No. 1 tourist highways with an investment of nearly 100 billion yuan and a total mileage of 13,000 kilometers were fully completed three years in advance, connecting 531 national insurance units and 976 tourist attractions in the province, covering 11 cities, 113 counties (cities and districts), and 5,630 villages. It is the first in the country to build a comprehensive tourism highway network with the largest scale, the longest mileage, the integration of roads and scenery, and the road industry. Based on the "Implementation Plan for Transit Reform Project of ordinary national and provincial highways in Shanxi Province (2024-2028)", it is clear that it will take five years to solve the problem of ordinary national and provincial highways passing through the city in 68 counties, and 5 projects have started construction in 2024. During the "Four Good Rural Roads" and "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 20,787 kilometers have been newly renovated, completing the planning target ahead of schedule, and achieving 100% of the province's larger population natural villages with hardened roads and 60% of established villages with two-lane roads. Since the beginning of this year, our province has been focusing on tapping potential and increasing efficiency of continued construction projects and speeding up the implementation of newly started projects. Seven continuous construction projects of the expressway are being carried out in an orderly manner. Ordinary national and provincial highways focus on accelerating the promotion of energy transportation channels and county-level transit reform projects, and newly started four projects including Lingqiu section of National Highway 336. The Xiangfen-Quwo-Houma transit reform project of National Highway 108 and the Pulongwan-Chenjiabao section of Provincial Highway Ningying Line have been basically completed. Shu Chang: The transportation service guarantee capacity has steadily improved. "This is a souvenir we have prepared for you - Guangling Paper Cutting, a representative project of intangible cultural heritage." On July 27, as China Eastern Airlines flights took off on time from Taiyuan Wusu International Airport, the Taiyuan direct route to Macau was officially opened. Accurately match passenger demand and improve efficient travel experience. As of the end of 2024, 8 civil aviation airports in the province have opened a total of 264 routes, including 15 international and regional routes. The three-kilometer runway connects the world and builds an "air bridge" for Shanxi and central regions to open to the outside world. On July 17, a China-Europe (Asia) train loaded with 110 containers and about 3,000 tons of Kazakhstan's ferrochromium alloy lasted about 13 days and spanned 4,900 kilometers, and entered the storage operation area of ​​Taigang Group Procurement Center. This train was launched in cooperation with Huayuan International Land Port Group and Taigang Group, marking the leap from "one-way operation" to "two-way circulation", and the diversified international logistics system is accelerating its formation. As the largest comprehensive modern logistics group in the province, Huayuan Land Port Group has jumped to 14th in the top 50 logistics companies in China, and has led the development of the province's modern logistics industry through the integrated construction of "hub channel network". According to the relevant person in charge, as of July 25, 2025, a total of 956 trains in China-Europe and Central Asia were launched, with 771 trains outbound and 185 trains backtrip; the total cargo weight was about 1.0144 million tons, and the cargo value was about 14.508 billion yuan. In 2024, 90 new customized passenger routes were added in the province; 67 new urban bus routes were opened; 32 counties (cities, districts) implemented free buses in the main urban area; 11 urban areas all opened "one-click ride-hailing" services for the elderly... In our province, personalized and high-quality passenger services for road transportation are more abundant. At noon on July 31, truck driver Lang walked into the Nitun service area of ​​the Northwest Second Ring Expressway on Taiyuan. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered a bowl of noodles in the dining area. "The service area provides free noodles for truck drivers. I will have a rest after eating and then rush to Gansu." Master Lang pointed to the truck parked in the service area, which was filled with daily necessities. The Nitun service area has a truck driver's home, with complete internal facilities. Free projects include rest, laundry, shower, heating of ingredients, charging of mobile phones, lounges, etc., which fully meet the diverse needs of drivers and passengers. Every soup and every meal are warm. There are currently 64 driver homes like this in the province. In the next step, the operating company will transform 92 service areas that do not have 24-hour hot water bath facilities and 88 service areas that do not have fully automatic washing machines. In addition to caring for and serving truck drivers, our province has implemented a new round of differentiated toll policies on expressways since October 1, 2017, continuing to help the development of transportation enterprises and logistics industries. The policies cover all sections of the province. In 2024 alone, the annual discounted truck tolls reached 2.13 billion yuan, benefiting more than 82.2 million trucks. "Before the road construction, I couldn't see a car even when I walked far away. The newly built road is very beautiful, flat and wide, and the vehicles are flowing continuously. It is very convenient to travel to Wuxiang and Licheng." Yang Jianming, director of the Pengzhuang Village Committee of Xijing Town, Licheng County, recalled the scene of leaving the village and crossing the county before, and said with emotion. The "road" that Yang Jianming praised is a tourist highway. In summer, the Licheng section of Taihang No. 1 Tourism Highway winds among the picturesque mountains and ridges, connecting homestays, attractions, and selling agricultural goods, linking the tourism economy and benefiting the lives of the people, becoming everyone's road to prosperity and happiness - Taihang No. 1 Tourism Highway was rated as "the most beautiful self-driving boutique road in the country in 2024". The three-level logistics system of counties, townships and villages has been continuously improved, with 3,933 rural passenger, freight and mail integration stations and lines reaching 3,933 respectively; the road network is more smooth and orderly, the one-time pass rate of highway toll stations continues to be above 98%, the road conditions of ordinary national and provincial highways have reached the historical best level, and the excellent road rates of rural roads are firmly ranked fourth in the country... The road is at your feet, carrying the expectations of happiness and the vision of development, and extending to the distance to reach opening, a "flowing" Shanxi is full of vitality. Green: Sustainable and low-carbon development has achieved remarkable results. In the process of building a comprehensive transportation hub in the central region, our province has taken the "dual carbon" goal as a guide and has taken promoting green transportation transformation as an important part of the high-quality development of the transportation industry. The transportation industry in the province continues to promote technological progress, model innovation, and concept upgrading. The transportation industry chain is more low-carbon and environmentally friendly. The promotion and application of new energy vehicles in the fields of urban public transportation, rental, logistics and distribution have been at the forefront of the country in recent years. Since 2015, our province has seized the policy opportunities and carried out large-scale replacement of new energy for urban buses and taxis. In 2024, the "two new" policies have been superimposed, and another batch has been replaced. As of the end of last year, the province's new energy buses reached 14,400, accounting for 97.14%, and the new energy taxis reached 29,800, accounting for 72.87%, ranking third and fourth in the country respectively. Our province has accelerated the construction of a green and low-carbon travel system and strengthened the integrated development of "rail bus slow travel" network - in terms of urban buses, Taiyuan and Linfen were awarded the title of "National Model City for Bus Urban Construction". The province has achieved full coverage of one-card bus for all cities, counties and districts, and can take buses, subways and other transportation in 336 cities at the prefecture level and above across the country. "One card in hand, travel all over the country", the concept of green travel is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The province's bus routes send an average of 2.97 million passengers per day; the two urban rail transit routes in Taiyuan City send an average of 300,000 passengers per day. In terms of slow-moving systems, shared bicycles effectively meet the people's more efficient, lower-carbon and healthier travel within 3 kilometers, and also solves the problem of "last mile" of urban commuting. As of the end of 2024, a total of 340,000 shared bicycles have been deployed in the province, with an average daily cycling of 350,000 people. Along the Lucheng District of Changzhi City, National Highway 309, heavy truck logistics and transportation vehicles drove out from a charging station and went to various places. "At present, there are 27 heavy truck charging piles with a maximum power of 320 kilowatts in the park, and more than 300 'green' cards come to charge every day, with a monthly charge of more than 1 million degrees." Chen Yongqiang, general manager of Shanxi Youwei Auto Trade Park, said. Green electricity demand is growing. In February this year, the first large-scale heavy-duty truck optical storage charging intelligent super charging station in Luzhou District was put into use. The charging station integrates photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, charging, etc., while providing efficient and convenient charging services for large heavy trucks, it promotes the city's green and low-carbon development. Changzhi City is a microcosm of our province's vigorous promotion of green transformation in the transportation field. It encourages 46 large source enterprises to update new energy heavy trucks. Among the nearly 35,000 freight vehicles in the city, there are 4,392 new energy pure electric vehicles, 6,830 new energy natural gas vehicles, and 9,946 National VI vehicles. Supporting the development of hydrogen energy heavy trucks, Meijin Energy and other companies independently developed and produced hydrogen energy heavy trucks and put them into operation one after another. Jinnan Steel has built the largest hydrogen refueling station in China, which can meet the filling needs of 300 hydrogen energy heavy trucks; cities are actively building truck charging piles, charging stations, battery swap stations, and energy islands; transportation companies respond to policies and replace new energy vehicles... At present, clean energy and new energy vehicles account for 58% of the province. The promotion and use of new energy heavy trucks effectively reduces fuel consumption of heavy trucks, reduces pollutant emissions, and plays a positive role in promoting energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation field. To achieve green development in the transportation industry, "zero carbon" is an important issue. In June this year, at the first National Transportation Technology and Industry Innovation and Development Conference, the PSC series "Smart Zero Carbon" charging pile products designed and developed by Shanxi Communications Control Group New Energy Company were officially launched, providing innovative solutions to the charging problems of new energy vehicles. With the continuous expansion of the new energy vehicle market, in order to serve the people and alleviate mileage anxiety, the number and utilization rate of electric vehicle charging piles in the province are also growing rapidly. At present, all 131 charging piles for operating service areas in the province have been built, achieving full coverage of charging facilities in the province's expressway operation service areas. By the end of 2025, our province will achieve full coverage of public charging facilities for counties, villages and highways within the province, and basically form a moderately advanced, balanced layout, intelligent and efficient charging (replacement) infrastructure system. Zero-carbon charging piles, zero-carbon toll stations, and near-zero carbon service areas, our province will also have "the first regional hub in the country and a provincial capital-level zero-carbon airport." Taking the construction of the third phase of Taiyuan Airport renovation and expansion project as an opportunity, the Taiyuan Wusu Zero Carbon Airport project is under intense and orderly construction. After it is put into operation, it is estimated that the average annual power generation of photovoltaics will be about 120 million kilowatt-hours, the centralized heating area will be about 989,000 square meters, the centralized cooling area will be about 694,000 square meters, and the total annual carbon reduction will be 118,200 tons, which is equivalent to planting 6.57 million trees and increasing the forest area by 78.8 million square meters. Ruts record history, rails are engraved with annual rings, and steel birds pass through the sky of the times... There were countless natural barriers, and the mountains and rivers that were once in the world and the mountains and rivers, which would be very different. (Cold Snow) Developing innovative backgrounds to accelerate the construction of comprehensive transportation hubs and build a comprehensive transportation hub, which is of great and far-reaching significance for our province to accelerate the opening of open portals, actively integrate into the domestic and international "dual circulation", and solidly promote high-quality development. Our province has the important characteristics of connecting the east and the west, connecting the south and the north, and is one of the key points of the country's regional development and transportation strategic layout. The significance of building a comprehensive transportation hub is self-evident. On the one hand, as an important energy raw material base, our province's rich coal and mineral resources can be transformed into economic advantages through efficient transportation channels. On the other hand, as our province actively promotes industrial transformation, the rise of emerging industries requires convenient transportation to attract investment, talents and technology, smooth the flow of people, logistics and information, promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, help our province's industries expand market space, break regional limitations, and participate in competition and cooperation on a broader stage. In recent years, our province's transportation infrastructure construction has achieved remarkable results. In terms of railways, the completion and opening of lines such as Daxi High-speed Railway and Zhengtai High-speed Railway have enabled Taiyuan to connect all high-speed EMUs in important surrounding cities; the mileage of highways has been increasing, "highways are connected to counties and counties" has been realized, and ordinary national and provincial trunk roads and rural roads are also continuously improved; the civil aviation industry is booming, and the airport layout covering the whole province has basically been formed, laying a solid foundation for further building a comprehensive transportation hub. The rapid formation of the comprehensive transportation system has effectively promoted the coordinated development of the energy industry and other industries in our province, and at the same time strengthened the connection between our province and surrounding areas and major urban agglomerations across the country, helping our province to embark on the fast lane of high-quality development. Innovation is the distinctive background color of transportation hub construction. Looking to the future, our province will strengthen its actions in the field of smart transportation, actively introduce advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to realize intelligent traffic management and informatization of transportation services. In particular, big data will be used to analyze traffic flow, optimize road planning and traffic signal control, and alleviate congestion; through intelligent logistics platforms, accurate scheduling and real-time tracking of cargo transportation will be achieved, and transportation efficiency will be improved. In terms of the integration of transportation and industry, we will accelerate the exploration of innovative models, rely on transportation hubs to develop air-side economy and port-side economy, build industrial clusters, realize the benign interaction and coordinated development of transportation and industry, attract enterprises such as aviation logistics, high-end manufacturing, and modern service industries to settle in, and form new economic growth points. At the same time, make good use of the opportunities of a series of national regional development strategies in Shanxi, make good use of various favorable policy support such as funds, projects, and technology, so that the east wind of the policy can inject strong impetus into Shanxi's transportation development. It is timely and timely, the place is the right place and support, and it is timely to accelerate the construction of a comprehensive transportation hub in the central region. I believe that with the joint efforts of the whole province, our province will surely write a new chapter in regional development, so that the land of Sanjin will shine with new vitality and vitality in the well-connected transportation network. (He Kai) Close-up 1 Hello, I am Taiyuan Tower "Oriental 2158, Taiyuan Tower, runway 31, agreed to be released to Shenzhen along the planned route, with a cruise altitude of 9,200 meters, a starting height corrected sea pressure of 2,100 meters, and the ground wind is 3 meters per second, and you can take off." On the morning of July 29, the sun was sunny, and the tower controller Yang Yu confirmed the status of the runway and issued a clear command. "Runtrack 31, can take off, Dongfang 2158!" The crew responded quickly. Outside the window, the plane takes off and lands in an orderly manner; inside the window, the tower controllers are working with all their attention, and in the radio headset, the frequency switching sound and crew calls continue. This is the command center of Shanxi air traffic - Shanxi Air Traffic Bureau. "Air China 1321, departing A6, contact Taiyuan Apron, goodbye." Then, Yang Yu guided a flight to land. Wusu International Airport, with a tower of 66 meters high and huge annular glass windows provide an excellent view overlooking the runway. This control command seat between the square meters is the forefront of Shanxi's air control personnel serving regional economic development and convenient travel for passengers. The summer transportation has not yet passed halfway, and the average daily guaranteed flight volume of Shanxi Air Control Branch has exceeded 350, with a peak of 394, setting a record high. "This is equivalent to an average of aircraft taking off or landing every 2 minutes during peak hours, and there are still multiple aircraft queuing in the air in an orderly manner." The head of the branch's control and operation department introduced. The rising numbers are proof of the significant improvement in security capabilities and lay the foundation for meeting Shanxi's growing demand for aviation travel. "Strong convective echoes are quickly generated in the southwest direction of the field, and are expected to affect the airspace of the field within 2 hours, accompanied by heavy precipitation and thunderstorms." In the evening, internal communications sounded the emergency warning from the branch meteorological observatory. On the radar screen, a blockbuster of red and purple echoes representing the thunderstorm area are constantly approaching the route. The sky was gloomy in the distance, and Li Shuping, deputy director of the tower control room, immediately stood up, swept his eyes across the meteorological radar screen, and made decisive arrangements: "Pay attention to this thunderstorm, inform the crew of the detailed weather, and ask about the crew's intentions." Every sudden change in weather is a test, and the commands must be fast, accurate and stable. This summer, it was hot and there was a lot of rain. Frequent thunderstorms are the "natural enemy" of flights. How to minimize their impact tests the wisdom of air traffic control. Shanxi Air Control Bureau has established a regular weather consultation mechanism with Taiyuan Airport and airlines. "We have three control rooms, tower, approach and area, which are responsible for command at different altitudes and distances. We must quickly determine which areas can be safely flying based on real-time radar and promptly command the aircraft to avoid dangerous areas." The head of the Control Operation Department said, "Although it is difficult to completely eliminate the impact of thunderstorms, through this dynamic adjustment and coordinated efforts, the delay time will be effectively shortened and passengers can arrive at their destinations relatively on-site." From the leap of guarantee capabilities to serving major projects, the development trajectory of the Shanxi Air Control Branch in the past two years is clearly visible. With the steady progress of the third phase of Taiyuan Airport renovation and expansion project, the new air control work area is about to be completed, and Shanxi air control personnel will continue to stick to the square screen to escort every passenger's safe journey. (Leng Xue Huo Yuting) Close-up 2 Traveling to Jidayuan North and South on the morning of July 22, Taiyuan citizen Qin Qiang boarded the D5368 train to Datong as usual: "Due to work needs, I often travel between Taiyuan and Datong. The launch of Jidayuan High-speed Railway makes this itinerary easier." On December 31, 2024, Jidayuan High-speed Railway was opened for operation. For more than 200 days, this line has shortened the time and space distance of cities along the line, and accelerated the flow of people and economic and trade exchanges. The Jidayuan High-speed Railway connects to Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north, passes through Datong City, Shuozhou City, and Xinzhou City in our province, and is incorporated into the Daxi High-speed Railway. It is an important part of the Hunan Channel of my country's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network. At present, the number of trains running through Jidayuan High-speed Railway has increased from 18 in the early stage to 124 in daily life, up to 138 in a maximum of 138 in Beijing, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Jinan, Xining, Lanzhou and other cities. On July 1, the train operation chart of the third quarter was adjusted, and the Jidayuan high-speed railway city was expanded again, adding trains to cities such as Wuhan and Yangzhou, allowing the "return of thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day" between the outside of the Great Wall and Jiangnan. On the train, all kinds of loving materials are placed. "To serve key passengers, we have launched special services such as marking belts, full-time guidance, luggage fixers, and identification cards." Train commander Wei Yilu said that in order for passengers to enjoy the journey, the train always puts service details into practice. "After a hundred days of opening the route, the number of passengers sent exceeded 1.8 million. Now the passenger flow in summer has reached a new high. Attractions such as Yungang Grottoes and Yingxian Wooden Tower have become popular check-in places, and there are endless tourists for parent-child travel on weekends." Wei Yilu said. Up to now, the number of passengers sent by the Jidayuan High-speed Railway stations at the Taiyuan Railway Taiyuan Railway has exceeded 4 million, allowing people along the route to enjoy tangible development dividends. Shuozhou Double Carbon Industry Research Institute has ushered in new development opportunities due to the opening of the high-speed rail, and investment promotion and corporate operations have become smoother. Wang Tongjun, director of the production and manufacturing department of Shuozhou Wenjing Energy Technology Co., Ltd., was deeply touched: "After the high-speed rail is opened, the most intuitive experience is that the 'time and space distance' has been greatly compressed. The time it had been spent on the road is now invested in product development, business expansion and team management." Jidayuan High-speed Railway not only broke the bottleneck of Shuozhou's long-term "high-speed rail without high-speed rail", but also empowered the development of the dual-carbon industry research institute in all aspects by opening up resource channels and strengthening regional coordination. Build a tourism distribution center, broaden public service windows, and open a direct train... In order to make the travel experience of passengers better, the Taiyuan Bureau of the National Railway will continue to improve the service level of various stations of Jidayuan High-speed Railway. The high-speed rail is speeding, and the wheels are rolling. Today, Jidayuan High-speed Railway, as a "transportation connection line" to improve the road grid pattern, a "people's livelihood and happiness line" to improve the quality of people's travel, and a "development engine line" to help the regional economy, is providing surging momentum and bringing lasting happiness to the production and life of people along the route. (Zhang Yi and Liu Siyi) Close-up 3 From the wheel printing to the data flow, the twilight flows through the streets and alleys of Yangquan. When you roll down the car window, there are not only electric cars carrying children in the rearview mirror, but also round-headed and unmanned cars. Shuving through the streets of Yangquan, these unmanned vehicles with sensors have become a landscape in daily life. In front of the central platform of the Yangquan Checheng Network Digital Economy Demonstration Operation Base, the engineer tapped the screen, and a "urban neural network" woven by thousands of roadside perception devices emerged in front of him. Once upon a time, this old industrial base in Shanxi, which was flourishing because of coal, left the impression on the world was chimneys and mine cars; but now, it has quietly transformed into a pioneer of smart transportation in the province. As early as 2018, Yangquan signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Baidu and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. In just one month, 22 test vehicles equipped with Baidu system have galloped in the Yangquan section of Wuyu Expressway; in 2020, the construction of the autonomous vehicle-road collaboration demonstration zone was launched, and intelligent equipment was installed at 6 key intersections on Dalian Street, allowing the "road" to learn to think. With the full launch of the "Checheng Network" project, 44 intelligent intersections are connected to the original facilities, woven a full-region perception network. What supports this change is hard-core infrastructure. As the first prefecture-level city in the country to open up autonomous driving in all regions, Yangquan City has now completed the intelligent transformation of 36 information control intersections in the city's main urban area, conducting AI analysis of traffic conditions in real time, realizing from "cars waiting for lights" to "lamps looking at cars", and then providing the optimal timing solution for traffic lights, and realizing dynamic "green waves" on the main roads, reducing the average number of parking times by about 53%, and increasing traffic efficiency by about 35%, effectively reducing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. Behind the change, the escort of institutional innovation is also inseparable. In January 2024, the province's first local regulation on intelligent connected vehicles management, "Yangquan City Intelligent Connected Vehicle Management Measures", was officially implemented. Local legislation established rules such as openness and mutual recognition of tests and other rules. Yangquan has also become the first prefecture-level city in the country to open up autonomous driving in the whole region. Today, leading companies such as Baidu and Neolithic have formed ecological clusters in Yangquan. From data annotation to solutions, from travel services to scenario applications, the complete industrial chain is transforming technological potential energy into development momentum. It is worth mentioning that Yangquan's "Urban Brain" project was selected as one of the top ten digital economic achievements in Shanxi Province. Its CIM (urban information model) platform can not only accurately predict the demand for shared bicycles, but also optimize bus routes through real-time analysis, and also make the "Yangquan Palm Bus" App one of the most commonly used applications in citizens' mobile phones. From the ruts deep into the earth to the data flow directly to the cloud, Yangquan transportation construction is undergoing a transformation, which has also made the gene of "wisdom" more deeply embedded in the blood of the city.
