Epidemic Situation Catalyzes Rigid Demand For Healthy Travel: "Black Technology" Helps Smart Transportation

    Technology war epidemic: the strength of platform economy twelve

The net car market has been exploring for several years, and has grown from green to mature. In 2020, the arrival of the new crown pneumonia in new spring also brought a blow to the net car. This rod smashed some of the turnover of the epidemic season, and this rod also struck a new inspiration for the net platform. That is to say, "Healthy Travel" is imperative. The "black technology" that helps smart travel and healthy travel is time to debut.

As the head of the network platform, Didi has taken the lead step by step, from the "guarantee convoy" of the epidemic period, the "car wearing mask" of the net car, the quick response "up and down linkage" to "black technology" AI recognition came in a row.

Wang Li, the Wenchuan earthquake witness, and the Sichuan girl after 90, will return to their hometown in Sichuan and Mianzhu every Spring Festival. But this year, Wang Li gave up her chance to return to Wuhan before she closed the city.

"I want to stay in Wuhan, for this city and for myself." In an interview, Wang Li interpreted the reasons he left behind.

Wang Li's official arrival time is January 25th, new year's day. On the same day, in response to the government's call and request, the 1336 network drivers were organized to form a "community support fleet".

"The dripping volunteers in Wuhan are divided into health care convoys and community support convoys." Dripping to the twenty-first Century economic news reporter introduced. Among them, the health care convoy is connected to the designated hospitals, and the medical staff orders online, and the volunteer drivers are transported to the hospital. The community security convoy is coordinated by the relevant departments and community residents' committees, serving community residents free of charge, and volunteer drivers are allocated to a fixed community to provide services.

The establishment of a "health care and community security convoy" is a new move in the network platform of the epidemic, and the net driver on the platform has also become one of the "reverse travellers", trying to maintain the most basic capillary flow in a city.

Among them, drops play a unique balance power. Its handheld technology, on-line many "black science and technology", provide support for the travel during the epidemic. Under the epidemic, the net car industry is quietly changing.

To safeguard the "counter traveler"

During the epidemic, there are many "counter travelers" on the drip platform.

First of all, the "front line" is the net car driver. In January 24th, under the request of Wuhan new crown pneumonia prevention and control command, dripping suspended the operation of Wuhan's intranet, and set up a "health care convoy fleet" with 225 drivers in Wuhan.

Statistics show that as of February 25th, the medical and health care convoys have been connected to 16 hospitals and 27 hospitals in Wuhan Concord, Wuhan Central Hospital and Wuhan Third Hospital, covering 8629 medical personnel and 83929 orders.

In addition to Wuhan, drip nursing teams are also serving in cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Xiamen, Ningbo and Nanjing. Recently, the drip medical care team has opened 8 cities.

"As of February 25th, the health care teams have received active applications from nearly 100 thousand drivers nationwide, and they have expressed their willingness to fight side by side with the front-line medical staff. Drops told the twenty-first Century business reporter.

In addition to health care security teams, drops of volunteers in Wuhan also include community support convoys. In January 25th, a community security convoy with 1336 drivers was mobilized to provide free travel services to residents in 402 communities. As of February 15th, a total of 37 thousand and 700 orders for safeguards have been completed.

This is not only the courage of the "reverse" driver, but also the power of the Internet platform. It is understood that in order to encourage drivers to actively join the voluntary convoy, a special fund of 200 million yuan has been set up to protect motorcade drivers, allowance for drivers, protection and purchase of epidemic prevention materials, etc., and equipped with respirators, protective clothing, gloves, goggles, disinfectant and other protective materials for drivers of health care and security teams.

For all drivers who completed online orders during the period from December 15, 2019 to the end of the new crown pneumonia outbreak, they will also provide hospitalization allowances and family allowances for the drivers who are diagnosed with centralized medical isolation. These drivers can receive a daily allowance of 300 yuan per person (up to 30 thousand yuan per person) from the day of isolation or hospitalization, with a special premium of up to 500 thousand yuan under special circumstances. In addition, drops were given a one-time 5000 yuan grant to the driver and his family for the diagnosis of new crown pneumonia.

It should be noted that in the epidemic, there are not only dribs and drabs involved in the joint epidemic prevention network, but the 7 network platform enterprises such as Dongfeng, first steam, Cao Cao, T3, Fengyun and Wanshun have actively participated in the epidemic prevention and emergency support work.

In January 24th, the vehicle set up an emergency "community support fleet" in Wuhan. The convoy has now expanded to 537 people and completed nearly 20 thousand service trips. Cao Cao traveled to Wuhan to set up an emergency prevention and control support fleet and a special dispatching team in Wuhan. At present, the number of motorcade teams has reached 318, and the total number of services has been extended to nearly 10000 passengers. T3 travel has set up a special action team of 729 volunteers and 404. The vehicle has been completed and has completed nearly 30 thousand trips to 101 communities.

Gu Dasong, executive director of the traffic law and development research center of Southeast University, said: "the network platform enterprise is originally a marketable product, and the price mechanism is floating. However, the platform companies have been requisitioned and even provided free medical support teams. From this point of view, the network platform company has stood the test and shouldering the social responsibility.

In AI media consulting CEO and chief analyst Zhang Yi seems that during this epidemic period, the performance of each network's vehicle platform is more important than revenue.

"As a result of the previous vicious events, the public has more or less a certain sense of distance to the net car industry. The social responsibility and dedication of the network platform during the epidemic period, as well as the flexible supplement to social travel during the emergencies, can bring a breakthrough to the survival environment of the network industry. Zhang Yi told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter.

Upstream and downstream linkage of "new landscape"

The epidemic has affected the whole network's car trip industry chain. Therefore, the linkage of the industrial chain has also become a new landscape of the epidemic.

In February 15th, following the early drop of the month trip and the orange car service initiative, the 16 cities in Hubei were postponed, and the dripping trip went hand in hand with the upstream and downstream industries to promote the nationwide car rental extension plan, and the driver suspended the rent for 2020 February.

Dripping to the twenty-first Century economic report reporter admitted that the car rental companies during the epidemic period is also quite "tense." "Affected by the epidemic, many rental companies do not have new rental income, and the 1 month rent extension for the drivers will result in a sharp decline in the revenue of the leasing company in February. But during this period, leasing companies still need to pay high operating costs such as labor costs, rent, vehicle insurance, and many leasing companies also need to pay the repayment pressure of upstream financial institutions themselves.

Tianjin time limited is one of the responders of the dripping initiative, which provides a rent extension scheme for drivers. In this process, more than 90% of the drivers' customers have chosen the rent extension scheme, amounting to nearly 10000.

However, Ye Yumeng, vice president of Tianjin time limited, also said, "we also have a small amount of car loan, which needs monthly repayment. If this situation continues, the company's relatively healthy profit model will not continue. "

Therefore, in order to reduce the burden of drivers and leasing companies, small orange car service and more than 3000 cooperative leasing companies conducted a one to one communication. In addition to advocacy of rental companies to rent rents and other help, it is more specific to understand the problems faced by leasing companies, and explore how to link upstream and downstream industries.

At present, Didi has communicated with 38 insurance companies, and postponed the operation vehicle insurance during the period of vehicle suspension, helping the leasing company to reduce costs. In addition, because the leasing company itself is also undertaking the repayment pressure of the financial institutions, it also initiates an initiative to the financial institutions, which has a greater impact on the epidemic situation, especially providing financial support for the leasing companies who take the initiative to delay the rent for the drivers, such as loan extension, extension, mobile loans and so on. "At present, we have communicated with 20 financial institutions, and have won many financial company partners' support." Drops told reporters.

Wear a mask for vehicles.

In addition to helping drivers and leasing companies, the net car also wore a "Mask".

In February 18th, Didi announced that a special fund of 100 million yuan would be invested to protect millions of vehicles in the country's millions of vehicles during the epidemic season, so as to prevent droplet transmission and invest 30 million yuan in advance.

The so-called "protective film" refers to the plastic isolation membrane installed between the front and rear rows of cars, which can form a simple safety cabin inside the vehicle.

In fact, the installation of protective membrane is not only recognized by both sides, but also has been praised by many experts in related fields.

Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of respiratory and critical care department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, believes that adding protective membrane in the net car compartment is equivalent to putting a "transparent mask" on the front and rear rows, blocking the spread of droplets by separating the passengers from the driver, reducing contact, and blocking the spread of aerosols, which will help prevent and control the epidemic.

Song Guangsheng, the director of the national indoor vehicle environment and environmental product quality supervision and inspection center, also agreed to install protective films in the compartment to block the way of virus transmission. He also suggested that the polyethylene film with moderate thickness be installed as far as possible without affecting the driver's vision.

"This kind of material generally has superior tensile properties, making it not easy to damage, and has excellent permeability to protect. It is suggested that drivers should disinfect the vehicle every day and check whether the protective membrane is damaged or not. Song Guangsheng pointed out.

During the epidemic period, there will be certain opportunities for quasi public transport between private transportation and public transport, such as sharing bicycles and network related vehicles, and the demand for users will be higher. Mr Gu said, "similar to the drop of such a head enterprise, users have noticed the demand for their healthy travel and quality travel, and have formed relevant measures."

Before the national development, since February 8th, drops have been installed in Wuhan, Shenzhen, Taiyuan, Harbin, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Haikou, Dalian, Baoji, Changzhi, Changzhi and other cities to install protective films. In addition, a line of epidemic prevention station was set up in 157 cities to disinfect vehicles, distribute masks, disinfectant and other protective materials.

In addition, the United States League car also landed in Shanghai, Nanjing and other cities landing epidemic prevention and disinfection sites. It also established a "network platform" in Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Qingdao and other cities to establish "no difference epidemic prevention and disinfection sites" for the whole car disinfection and epidemic prevention materials. Gao de taxi combined a network of 47 car platform to start a "safe travel month" campaign to provide daily disinfection services for operating vehicles.

Epidemic prevention "black science and technology" debut

For the Internet platform, the epidemic has given them the opportunity to think. For example, in the face of epidemic situation, how to implant technology, improve efficiency and ensure safety has become a problem that needs to be faced directly on every platform.

The reporter understands, at present, a number of "black technology" on-line to ensure travel safety.

For example, masks wear identification technology. It is understood that the technology includes face detection and face mask mask attribute recognition, which is developed by the drip AI team based on the DFS face detection algorithm combined with the accumulated facial attribute recognition algorithm. The algorithm overcomes the difficulties of 24 hours of complex illumination, face pose change, face scale at different distances, and the diversity of mask types. It can detect face masks in all kinds of scene images.

At present, the technology has been widely used in trickle down platforms. On the basis of the AI technology, the dripper automatically analyzes whether the drivers are wearing masks and whether they are wearing specifications before driving or during the trip, so as to further urge drivers to do personal protection. For those drivers who do not wear masks and those who do not wear masks, the platform will be educated, warned or even suspended.

As of the morning of February 25th, the "intelligent epidemic prevention vehicle quality inspection system" before the dripping platform was launched in 126 cities.

The "intelligent epidemic prevention vehicle quality inspection system" requires the network drivers to take photos of the masks and vehicles that have been sterilized in real time before leaving the car, and fill in the body temperature accurately. The identification of the masks can be carried out after the vehicle is identified, and the recognition accuracy is over 99.5%. Do not exceed 98% accuracy rate.

In addition, the smart transport solution also played a role in the outbreak.

Take Shenzhen as an example, the dripping drop and the Shenzhen bus group are strong and strong together to set up the dripping advantage company, which provides data platform construction and application modeling analysis for Shenzhen bus group. The dripping city traffic team helps the advantages of the Shenzhen bus group, which is based on the real-time data analysis of the large capacity data of the Shenzhen bus group in the inter station, and helps to build "car epidemic prevention" during the epidemic prevention and control period. The full range warning system ensures maximum spacing between passengers and passengers.

The system can also calculate the personnel density in the passenger compartment by analyzing the credit card record, the vehicle authorized passenger volume and the predicted passenger load, and set the early warning standard of the "safe distance for compartment prevention" according to different types of vehicles. If the safety distance of the vehicle reaches the warning value, the dispatcher can respond quickly, increase the congestion line operation vehicles in a timely manner, minimize the passengers' aggregation, and improve the safety factor of public transportation during epidemic prevention and control.

"If we take advantage of our experience in Wuhan and Hubei, we can make a group standard through trade associations, and solidify it to promote the quality of travel and healthy travel in quasi public transport. This will be a good opportunity for the future net car travel." Gu Dasong analyzed.

Zhang Yi also believes that during the epidemic period, the experience and requirements of "Healthy Travel" created by the network platform will become a rigid demand in the future. "Who can do the service well at the right price, and this is guaranteed by healthy travel. I believe that not only is the net car involved, it will also be a very important key for all kinds of vehicles to get passengers."
