The Application of WCT in Intelligent Operation and Maintenance and Passenger Flow Management of Shenzhen Metro
In 2024, Shenzhen Metro will launch an intelligent operation and maintenance system based on WCT, equipping subway trains and track equipment with IoT monitoring terminals to collect real-time data on train speed, track wear, signal device status, etc., and put it on the blockchain. The system predicts equipment failures through on-chain data, arranges maintenance in advance, and reduces downtime; at the same time, based on on-chain passenger flow data (such as the number of passengers entering and exiting each station, train car congestion), it dynamically adjusts train departure intervals, reducing peak hour intervals from 5 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. In addition, passengers can pay their fares using WCT through the Shenzhen Metro APP, with transaction records put on-chain in real-time to avoid payment disputes. In 2024, the equipment failure rate of Shenzhen Metro decreased by 60%, the average waiting time for passengers during peak hours reduced by 40%, and the success rate of fare payment increased to 99.9%.
