Huawei and Tianjin Port Group Jointly Develop Intelligent Horizontal Transportation 2.0 Solution

[Barcelona, Spain, March 3, 2026] During MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei and Tianjin Port Group announced their collaborative development of the Intelligent Horizontal Transportation 2.0 Solution. Centering on mixed traffic, the solution overcomes the hurdles of horizontal transportation automation at traditional terminals. It provides a cost-effective, highly adaptable, and innovative path for the smart transformation of global ports, marking a shift in port automation from operating in closed scenarios to open collaboration.

Architecture Evolution: From Independent Vehicle Intelligence to Vehicle-Road-Cloud Synergy

The solution has been developed from conventional independent vehicle intelligence to a vehicle-road-cloud synergistic architecture, establishing a triple-intelligence system comprising a smart cloud, intelligent roads, and autonomous vehicles. It creates an efficient closed loop through deep collaboration among cloud-based global scheduling, roadside sensing, and onboard real-time decision-making.

The solution adopts a microservice architecture design based on cloud native. The cloud-based brain performs global path planning, smart decision-making, resource configuration, and exception handling. The onboard system is also capable of high-precision environment sensing, obstacle avoidance, and precise control, while the roadside sensing system holistically detects its surroundings and synchronizes traffic information. This architecture design guarantees the system's overall operational efficiency while ensuring the safety and reliability of large-scale fleets when they operate in complex environments.

Core Competitiveness: All-Domain Mixed Traffic, with Global Optimal Scheduling

This solution helps customers achieve progress across several fronts, most notably in all-domain mixed traffic. It enables AI robots of transportation (ARTs) and manual container trucks to operate safely and seamlessly together. Leveraging multiple roadside sensors and cloud-based smart scheduling algorithms, the system identifies the driving routes of manual container trucks in real time and dynamically plans operational paths. This moves beyond the limitations of physical isolation held by traditional automated terminals. The solution also excels in the coordinated management of large-scale fleets by allowing 300 vehicles (including ARTs and manual container trucks) to operate in perfect harmony. The cloud-based smart scheduling mechanism ensures system stability and efficient operations when a large number of vehicles are working together. The solution also significantly reduces manual intervention, with the ART intervention rate dropping below 0.1%. This effectively resolves deadlocks commonly encountered at intersections.

Industry Benefits: Solving Difficulties in Mixed Traffic, Empowering Transformation of Traditional Terminals

The solution delivers tangible benefits to customers. It allows traditional terminals to go digital and intelligent at lower costs, without the need for re-planning or large-scale infrastructure reconstruction. This provides a cost-effective, highly adaptable, and easy-to-implement transformation path for the vast number of global terminals still relying on traditional manual container truck operations.

Looking ahead, Huawei and Tianjin Port Group will continue to deepen their cooperation, driving the innovative application of 5G-A, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies in ports to empower the digital and intelligent transformation of the global port industry.

To date, Huawei has served more than 100 ports worldwide. Moving forward, the company remains committed to its vision of "driving mobility and logistics into the intelligent world." Guided by its "platform + ecosystem" strategy, Huawei will match the right technology to the right scenario, diving deep into the industrial scenarios with 5G and AI technologies to advance the digital and intelligent transformation of global ports.
