Technologies Build Foundation for Digital intelligence Transformation! Operation is the Key Point In the Stock Era!
At present, China's transportation industry is transitioning from “large-scale construction” to “fine-grained operation”. There is a general consensus within the industry that, against the backdrop of building a “powerful transportation nation”, building an integrated and converged travel service system with customers as its core is key to developing the expressway sector and the entire transportation industry. This system aims to enhance cross-industry collaboration by integrating travel services with various industries such as road operations, commodity sales, automotive services, and financial insurance. It provides comprehensive and people-oriented service to drivers and passengers, while reducing costs, improving efficiency, and creating value gains for road management and operation departments.
