中国移动目前宣布正在建设第一条5G智能高速公路。

（文末更多往期译文推荐）

（新华社讯）日前中国国企中国移动宣布正在建设第一条5G智能高速公路——一个能够支持蜂窝网络协调的城市规模的公路系统运输服务，这使得中国在全球“5G赛道”更进一步。该基础设施目前正在湖北省省会武汉进行建设。

作为全国最大的电信公司，中国移动计划在高速公路上推出一系列5G服务，首先是“智能收费站”，可以取消目前的收费站和人工操作员。该运营商还计划收集实时交通信息，并使用数据进行AI辅助预测，支持自动驾驶汽车。

虽然中国移动不是世界上第一家宣布5G高速公路计划或开始有限部署的运营商，但依托于其他竞争对手国家取得的进展，它可能最先在高速公路现场提供实际的商业和协调运输服务。韩国运营商SK Telecom，KT和LG U +都对自动驾驶汽车进行了有限的5G测试，三星甚至建立了一个“ 假城 ”来测试远离人的汽车。

中国移动已经在武汉安装了31个5G基站支持该协议，预计到2019年整个特定路段选址额外增加2000台，目前正在进行收费站测试。该公司还申请了自动驾驶测试许可证，这可能实现自动驾驶汽车与人力车辆共用高速公路。

China is building a 5G smart highway for autonomous cars and AI traffic monitoring

China is moving forward in the global “race to 5G,” as state-owned carrier China Mobile has announced (via Xinhua) that it’s already building the first 5G smart highway — a city-scale system of roads capable of supporting cellular network-coordinated transportation services. The infrastructure is currently under construction in Wuhan, the capital of China’s centrally located Hubei Province.

As the country’s largest telecommunications company, China Mobile plans to roll out a collection of 5G services on the highway, beginning with “smart toll stations” that could do away with current toll transponders and human operators. The carrier also plans to gather real-time traffic information and make AI-assisted predictions using the data, as well as supporting autonomous cars.

While China Mobile isn’t the world’s first carrier to either announce 5G highway plans or begin limited deployments, it may wind up being the first to offer actual commercial and coordinated transportation services on live highways — depending on progress made by rivals in other countries. South Korean carriers SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+ have all run limited 5G tests of self-driving vehicles, while Samsung has even set up a “fake city” to test cars away from people.

China Mobile has already installed 31 5G base stations in Wuhan to support the initiative, and the company expects to add an additional 2,000 stations throughout 2019. Specific highway section location planning is currently underway for toll station testing. The carrier has also applied for autonomous driving test permits, which will presumably enable self-driving cars to share the highway with human-operated vehicles.
