Urban Smart Cards Become an Important Starting Point for Urban Construction

Since 1997, the original Ministry of Construction has carried out public transportation Mifare card related work, over the past two decades, public transportation Mifare card has evolved into an urban smart card with a wide range of applications after multiple cycles, it has achieved leap-forward development and has become one of the country's most important industry big cards, boosting the construction of urban informatization, developing information to benefit the people, and effectively supporting the public transportation priority strategy.

One of the smart cards covering the largest number of cities

Smart city is a carrier that conforms to the new trend of the development of the times and promotes the simultaneous development of national informatization and urbanization, it is a sign of a city's new stage of modernization, a starting point for practicing green development, and the direction of urban development. Since 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the National Standards Commission have successively carried out batches of more than 600 national smart city pilot projects, many cities have achieved remarkable results in just four years.

In the process of advancing smart city standardization work, our country first solved the standardization overall layout and top-level design issues, established a national smart city standardization overall group, planned to build a smart city standard system, and the Mifare Card Application Service Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development served as the deputy leader Units, participated in the formulation of 31 national standards related to smart cities.

As an important part of smart cities, the application of urban smart cards is included in the national standards of the smart city evaluation index system, according to statistics, more than 400 cities across the country have built urban smart card systems.

One of the most populous smart cards covering the city

Up to now, the cumulative number of urban smart cards issued has reached 900 million, covering more than 800 million people. According to the National New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020), my country's permanent urban population will reach nearly 800 million by 2020, and the urbanization rate will be nearly 60%. According to this prediction, by 2020, the number of smart cards issued in cities in my country will exceed 1 billion.

After 6 years of development, a total of 80 cities and 6 projects have joined the interconnection platform, and the national interconnection card issuance reached 350 million. Among them, there are regional core cities such as Shanghai, Macau, Tianjin, and Zhengzhou, as well as national chain projects such as China Merchants Tong and Haihe Cruise, which have a positive effect on promoting the development of blockchain and create a new way of smart life for the people.

One of the most used smart cards

City smart cards have the characteristics of small and micro, sticky, and are widely used in public transportation, access control, tourism in scenic spots, public utility payment, identity authentication, ferry, residential area, movie theater, shop, parking fee, public bicycle, etc. the scene covers all aspects of smart life, with a daily transaction volume of nearly 680 million people.

Urban smart cards have formed a comprehensive service system of "one card for multiple uses", becoming an important starting point for smart city construction and the smart key for people to enjoy smart life. The city smart card fully implements the spirit of green development in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, achieves the fundamental goal of a smart city that is people-oriented and serves people, and continues to meet the people's growing needs for a better life.

One of the systems with the largest cumulative investment scale

The development of urban smart cards has led to the comprehensive and coordinated development of Mifare card design, production, integration and application operations, the industrial chain of urban smart cards includes chips, cards, COS, reading and writing equipment, smart phones, system integration, the Internet, and the most important card operation organizations, it is precisely because of the excellent integration capability of urban smart cards that can promote close collaboration and mutual assistance with all companies in the industry chain. Up to now, there have been more than 1.3 million interconnection card acceptance terminals, the cumulative investment in the construction of urban smart card systems exceeds 90 billion RMB, promote integrated circuit design, packaging, terminal equipment manufacturing, software development, Internet applications and other upstream and downstream industries to achieve an industrial added value of 900 billion RMB.

In terms of one card pass applications, in smart cities, access control systems are becoming more and more necessary for communities, and city smart cards also promote the construction of safe cities.
