Seize Opportunities from “One Belt One Road”
Hon Frankie YICK, JP, Legislative Councillor (Transport Constituency),
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

 

The concept of “One Belt One Road” development strategy was first announced by President Xi Jin Ping in 2013. "One Belt" refers to the New Silk Road Economic Belt, linking China with Europe through Central and Western Asia, and "One Road" is the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, connecting China with Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe. “One Belt One Road” can help stimulate the economic development of the region and promote international trade and logistics. Hong Kong's trade and logistics development will definitely be benefited. Apart from enhancing Hong Kong's competitive advantages to seize opportunities of China's “One Belt One Road”, we should also make use of information technology to set up a “Single Window” platform to facilitate trade flow by allowing electronic data exchange regionally and internationally.

RFID-enabled Self Bag-drop at HKIA
Ir Paul WU, Deputy General Manager, Technical Services, Airport Authority Hong Kong

 

In line with the International Air Transport Association (IATA)’s Fast Travel programme, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) is working with the Airlines to implement the Self Bag-drop service at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) which will enhance passengers’ experience with a faster means to drop their luggage at the airport check-in. HKIA has made a unique design on the Self Bag-drop system integrated with customised RFID enabled barcode scanners (developed by the LSCM R&D Centre) to accept luggage with home printed bag tags. The processing time at the Self Bag-drop counters will be shortened significantly to achieve the fast-moving passengers with check-in luggage.

Enhancing the Independent Mobility of Visually Impaired People by Wireless Technology and Smartphone
Mr Navy HUI, Manager, Barrier Free Access (HK) Limited

 

A survey regarding environmental accessibility was conducted in September 2014. Most of the visually impaired (VI) strongly supported to develop new technology to help them navigate independently.

 

The LSCM R&D Centre has developed a RFID navigation system to enhance the mobility of VI users. With the help of the cane embedded with RFID reader and a smartphone application, the VI users can receive audio guidance to lead them to the destination.

 

40 VIs were invited to test the usability of this system. Majority of them agreed that it could help them find their ways in the premises and the audio guidance was clear and be easily understood. As a result of the positive feedback from VI users, further development of this system will be carried out.
