Construction of Smart Fire Protection IoT System for Shanghai Rail Transit

[Objective] In order to promote the digital empowerment of the urban rail transit industry, it is necessary to construct a Smart Fire Protection IoT (Internet of Things) System for Shanghai Rail Transit, aiming to strengthen the perception and awareness of the operation status and intelligent analysis of fire safety, while enhancing the capability of risk identification, forecasting and early warning. [Method] By collecting information such as the operation indicators of important equipment in the fire protection-related systems, incident alerts, and business data, a Smart Fire Protection IoT System for Shanghai Rail Transit is designed, in which, the IoT technology is used to collect and transmit various data of fire protection business; the big data technology is utilized to build a unified technical architecture for storing, analyzing, and managing the collected data; and the digital twin technology is applied to transform the processed data into practical applications, achieving a visual presentation of fire protection management as the result. [Result & Conclusion] Through the construction of the Smart Fire Protection IoT System for Shanghai Rail Transit, the businesses and data of various lines and stations in the metro network are integrated on one platform, and the workflows for daily fire safety management is thereby streamlined, digitized, and standardized. By using technologies such as cloud computing and big data, a deep integration of informatization and fire protection is achieved, significantly improving the fire protection management level of Shanghai Rail Transit.
