Intelligent upgrade of public transportation

1. Expansion of "gates always open" in Shanghai Metro

Since July 19, 91 new pilot stations have been added, and a total of 123 stations in the entire network have adopted this mode, covering 19 lines. In this mode, the gate door is open by default, and passengers can pass directly after swiping their cards/scanning codes, reducing waiting time and improving traffic efficiency.

System settings: The gate automatically closes and intercepts when invalid tickets pass, and orderly queues are required during peak hours.

2. Barrier-free transformation of Guangzhou Metro

In order to welcome the 2025 National Games and the Paralympic Games, it is planned to install stair lifts at old exits such as Tiyuxi Road Station on Line 1 and Linhexi Station on Line 3, and ensure that at least one entrance and exit of new lines within three years is equipped with barrier-free vertical elevators.

Simultaneously replace about 130 old-style rotary gate machines with gate-type gate machines to improve barrier-free access.

Technological innovation and patent breakthrough

1. Application of industrial-grade intelligent gate machines

The intelligent gate machine transformed by Taizhong Group for the hydropower station has entered the commissioning stage, realizing the "one-button opening and closing" of the 100-ton gate for the first time, with a localization rate of 95%. Equipped with hundreds of sensors, it can independently decide the operating speed and precise parking, and support full life cycle monitoring.

2. Integration of the Internet of Things for flood control gates

The hydrodynamic flood control gate integrates water level sensors and AI algorithms, and automatically responds to floods (such as the gate of Shenzhen Metro Line 11, which is triggered by 5cm of water accumulation within 2 minutes). In 2024, the domestic market size will exceed 8 billion yuan, and the application will be extended to underground garages and commercial complexes.

Industry trends and market prospects

1. Standardization of biometric technology

Affected by the "Safety Management Measures for the Application of Facial Recognition Technology", projects in Fuyang and other places have accelerated compliance transformation, adopting the "face + IC card" dual-mode solution, taking into account the needs of aging (such as sound wave induction swing gate) and extreme environment adaptation.

2. Market scale continues to expand

The global channel gate market size is expected to reach 34 billion yuan in 2030, with an average annual compound growth rate of 12.5%. The main reasons for the growth include the deepening of smart city construction, the intelligent transformation of rail transit (the replacement rate will rise to 35% in 2028) and the release of demand in overseas markets (Southeast Asia, the Middle East).

Corporate dynamics

‌EZVIZ releases AI technology base‌: In June, the new generation of AI architecture EZVIZ HomePlay OS was launched to strengthen the coordination capabilities of multiple hardware platforms such as gates, and improve the efficiency of visual recognition and end cloud computing.

The above progress shows that the turnstile industry is accelerating its iteration around efficiency, safety and intelligence, and public services and industrial scenarios have become core breakthrough areas.
