Huawei and Tianjin Port Jointly Built a Driverless, Zero-Carbon “Vehicle-

Cloud Synergy” Horizontal Transportation Solution

Huawei and Tianjin Port have jointly collaborated on a driverless,
zero-carbon "vehicle-cloud synergy" horizontal transportation
solution. Huawei built an intelligent horizontal transport system
at the terminal of Section C in the Beijiang Port Area of Tianjin
Port. The project has achieved Level 4 autonomous driving,
enabling 76 Intelligent Guided Vehicles (IGVs) in a fleet to
collaborate efficiently. Huawei used cloud-based centralized
dispatching to increase port-wide efficiency. As hubs of global
supply chains, ports play a critical role in promoting international
trade. Traditional ports rely on humans to operate container
cranes working under harsh working environments, are labor
intensive and suffer from workforce shortages. These challenges
hinder the rapid development of global sea transportation.
Therefore, port automation and intelligent reconstruction have
emerged as the industry's overarching goals. Ports worldwide
are going through a process of automation driven by the latest
technologies like 5G, Cloud, and AI. A typical port deals with service systems such as TOS, Huawei's intelligent horizontal
