Method: This system uses AI-powered Dynamic Intersection Signal Control Optimization (DISCO) software to model traffic flows based on real-time data from cameras and edge computing.

Example: It optimizes police patrols for clearing illegal parking by deploying squads one at a time along designed routes, reducing bottlenecks, with collaborations with police, data was collected and combined with the DISCO system to study the dynamics on the roads scientifically, like how long will it takes for officers and traffic wardens to finish a round of patrol, warning off all the drivers parking in unauthorized spots? And how long would it take for those cars to return?

Method: Demand Management via AI-

Driven Electronic Road Pricing

Example:On a typical weekday at 8:15 AM, the AI system detects rapidly building congestion on the approaches to the Central-Wan Chai Bypass and the Western Harbour Tunnel, while the Eastern Harbour Tunnel is relatively clear.

The AI algorithm instantly increases the ERP charge for the congested Western Harbour Tunnel route from a base rate of $20 to a peak rate of $40. Simultaneously, it slightly decreases the charge for the less-congested Eastern Harbour Tunnel route to $15 to attract a portion of the drivers.

Method: Uses real-time traffic data collected from sensors or connected vehicles at intersections. Analyse the data using a simulation model called VISSIM, which create a detailed digital model of road traffic at a microscopic level.

It helps traffic planners test the impact of different traffic management strategies, road designs, and signal timings before implementing them in reality.

Example: Smart Traffic Management Operation (STMO) in Kwun Tong

After over a year of trials, the police reduced their personnel from over 40 to about 6, maintaining or improving results with 80% fewer officers.

Overview

To support smart city development, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) launched the Pilot Programme on Smart Recycling Systems (the Pilot Programme) in the fourth quarter of 2020 to test in phases the local application of smart recycling devices (comprising smart recycling bins, smart balances and gift redemption units). The objectives are to build up experience for reference in mapping out the direction for the long-term development of local application of smart recycling systems, and enhance the community recycling services and efficiency.

Technical trials at 4 locations in the initial phase of the Pilot Programme had been completed in January 2022. After reviewing the results of the trials, the EPD expanded the Pilot Programme in mid-2022. In addition to setting up smart balances at all recycling facilities under GREEN@COMMUNITY to facilitate self-service recycling, smart recycling bins and gift redemption units have also been gradually installed in some Recycling Stations and Recycling Stores since end-2022. Starting from March 2023, smart recycling bins have been progressively set up in housing estates, villages, shopping malls, universities, government venues, etc. The number of application points under the Pilot Programme has been increased from 4 locations in the initial phase to about 380 locations at present.

Smart Recycling Equipment

Smart Recycling Bin
Smart recycling bins support 24-hour operation, measure and record the weight of recyclables automatically, and record electronic bonus points earned through recycling, thereby facilitate self-service recycling.

Smart Recycling Bins are equipped with sensors and can transfer information and data through IoT network for effective monitoring, such as fill levels. Recyclable collection service providers may also be connected through communication network to transmit telematics data. When combined, these technologies provide a solution for real-time visibility into the status of recycling bins so they can avoid unnecessary pickups and optimize operations.

Smart Recycling Bins are set up at some of the Recycling Stations and Recycling Stores. The EPD is also installing Smart Recycling Bins at housing estates, villages, shopping malls, universities and government venue progressively from March 2023.

Gift Redemption Unit
Gift Redemption Units support 24-hour operation, record the gift redemption and deduct the electronic bonus points automatically. The fully automatic and electronic process facilitates the public to redeem gift items, such as daily necessities, groceries and environmentally friendly products, in a self-service mode.

Gift Redemption Units are set up at all Recycling Stations and most of the Recycling Stores of the GREEN@COMMUNITY and other locations. Gift Redemption Units of the Recycling Stores in public rental housing estates are usually set up outside the stores or other nearby locations within the same estates. Members can also redeem gift items with assistance from the staff at GREEN@COMMUNITY.

Smart Balance
Smart Balances record the weight of recyclables and the electronic bonus points earned through recycling automatically.

Smart Balances are not limited by the size of recyclables. The high mobility feature of smart balances also supports various recycling activities of the GREEN@COMMUNITY.

Smart Balances are set up at all Recycling Stations and Recycling Stores of .

How to Perform Smart Recycling

The Smart Recycling Systems are easy to use. Just scan the membership QR code generated by GREEN$ Mobile App or at the back of the GREEN$ card on the reader of the smart recycling bins or smart balances, drop recyclables when the electric door opens or place the recyclables on the smart balances, then you will earn GREEN$ at the same time. You can also use the GREEN$ to redeem gifts from the gift redemption units or at any GREEN@COMMUNITY.

GREEN$ Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme

With the or a GREEN$ smart card, the public can earn GREEN$ upon submission of recyclables with smart recycling devices. The "GREEN$ Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme" offers gifts including daily necessities and groceries, as well as environmentally friendly products. To register as a GREEN$ member, just download the or bring 2 kg of recyclables to any of the GREEN@COMMUNITY outlets to get a GREEN$ card.

How to Check My GREEN$ Balance

GREEN$ members can check their GREEN$ balance at the GREEN$ Mobile App or the GREEN$ balance & transaction records enquiry webpage. The checking procedure at the webpage is very simple. Members can scan the QR Code below with their mobile devices and open the webpage (or input reward.6green.hk directly in the web browser address), followed by entering the membership number to check the GREEN$ balance:

GREEN$ members can also check their GREEN$ balance with assistance from the staff at our GREEN@COMMUNITY, including Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores, and Recycling Spots.

Smart Recycling Promotion Vehicle

To support the expansion of the Pilot Programme, the EPD rolled out the "Smart Recycling Promotion Vehicle", to promote the newly established smart recycling systems. The "Smart Recycling Promotion Vehicle", equipped with smart recycling equipment, tours around Hong Kong to introduce smart recycling technology and user flow of the equipment and let the public experience the operation of smart recycling systems.

Features of Smart Recycling Systems

For the expansion of the pilot program, the EPD completed the establishment of a common communication protocol, application programming interface, central data system and mobile application linking platform for local applications in 2022, so that smart recycling hardware and software from different developers can connect with each other, and jointly build the smart recycling system in Hong Kong.

Smart Recycling System applies IoT technologies to collect daily operation information for integration into a Big Data System. With artificial intelligence (AI) analysis in the long run, we can provide a better service and new experience to the community through a more effective management of recyclable collection.

Through the Pilot Programme, the EPD is bringing a new recycling experience to the public, and to inject new impetus to community recycling. The Government will review the operational experience and technical testing result to formulate the long-term development of a smart recycling system for local application, with a view to improving the community recycling service and its efficiency.
