Preface
On August 29, 2026, as part of the series of events by Traffic Control Technology and the community youth integration celebration of the 77th anniversary of National Day, the "Smart Rail Transit & Low-Altitude Technology Entering Life, Empowering a New Future" community science popularization lecture event, jointly organized by Traffic Control Technology (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. and the Hong Kong Community Network, was successfully held at Fanling Fong Kay No. 1 Primary School in Sheung Shui, Hong Kong. The event focused on intelligent rail transit and innovative applications of rail low-altitude inspection, bringing hardcore science and technology innovation knowledge into school communities through science lectures, drone experiences, and interactive exchanges, allowing young people to experience the technological charm of smart transportation up close, and supporting Hong Kong's cultivation of innovation and technology talent and the construction of a smart city.
01 Multi-party Collaboration to Promote Hong Kong's Innovation and Technology Development and Talent Cultivation
The event opened with the solemn national anthem. During the speech session, four guests elaborated on their thoughts and prospects for promoting Hong Kong's innovation and technology development from different dimensions, including corporate practice, social welfare innovation, policy support, and industrial ecosystem.
Zhang Jinna, International Operations Director of Traffic Control Technology, first expressed gratitude to the Hong Kong Community Network, Fanling Fong Kay No. 1 Primary School, and partners from all sectors present, stating that Traffic Control Technology will continue to take root in Hong Kong and promote the implementation of innovation and technology.
Fan Guohui, Director-General of the Hong Kong Community Network, pointed out that this cooperation is an innovative combination of social welfare services and innovation and technology development, aimed at aligning with the national "15th Five-Year Plan," promoting young people of different ethnicities to understand innovation and technology professions, and helping Hong Kong's innovation and technology go international and face the future.
Fang Guoshan, Member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, emphasized that building Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology center requires collaboration from all sectors of society, promoting science and technology innovation knowledge into schools and communities, helping the younger generation engage with cutting-edge fields as early as possible, and consolidating the talent foundation.
Wang Wei, Executive Vice President of Traffic Control Technology, stated that as one of the first companies listed on the STAR Market, Traffic Control Technology actively fulfills its corporate social responsibility while deeply cultivating industrial development, committed to building a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation industry ecosystem of "air, road, and rail," enabling innovation and technology achievements to benefit every citizen, and safeguarding urban safety, efficient, and green travel with intelligent transportation.
After the speeches, Wang Wei, on behalf of the organizers, presented souvenirs to the guests present; the Hong Kong community presented banners to representatives of Traffic Control Technology and the school, thanking all parties for their strong support of community work. All guests took a group photo on stage, jointly sending blessings for the 77th anniversary of the founding of the motherland.
02 Approaching the Science Popularization Lecture, Unlocking the Code of Rail Transit Safety
At the science popularization lecture, Ma Zongru, Deputy Director of the Research Office of the National Engineering Center for Rail Transit Operation Control Systems, first introduced the company's business layout and innovative achievements in the field of rail transit. At the same time, Traffic Control Technology is deeply involved in Hong Kong's rail transit construction, undertaking the signal system renovation projects of the Tsuen Wan Line and Disneyland Resort Line, safeguarding the travel safety of Hong Kong citizens.
Subsequently, he acted as a "science guide," systematically introducing basic knowledge such as subway stations, control systems, operation scheduling, infrastructure, and artificial intelligence through accessible and vivid explanations, and revealing the latest research directions and cutting-edge technology application scenarios of urban rail transit. The students on site participated with high enthusiasm, actively asking questions about subway operation principles and rail drone inspection, creating a lively interactive atmosphere.
03 Experiencing Low-Altitude Technology, Decoding the Frontier of Three-Dimensional Transportation Development
Liu Chao, a systems expert at Traffic Control Technology, shared the company's low-altitude development layout and current status, and focused on introducing the company's exploration of innovative applications and scenario implementation of low-altitude drone technology in the railway field based on a specialized research platform. Related projects were selected into the first batch of pilots of the Hong Kong SAR Government's low-altitude economy "regulatory sandbox."
The drone test flight and control experience session pushed the event to a climax. Under the professional guidance of Zhou Zhaohong, a solutions engineer at Traffic Control Technology, the students observed drone equipment demonstrations up close and personally simulated control, immersively experiencing the joy of science and technology innovation.
The value of technology lies in benefiting people's livelihoods. This event is a practice of social-enterprise collaboration in carrying out science and technology innovation popularization, transforming hardcore technologies serving urban livelihoods into science popularization education resources for young people. In the future, Traffic Control Technology will continue to take root in Hong Kong, serve society with technological innovation, cultivate talent through science popularization education, support Hong Kong's smart city construction and innovation and technology ecosystem development, and contribute to the innovative development of rail transit in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and even the world.
