Previously, to comply with the request of the National Steering Committee for the Prevention and Control of the Covid-19 epidemic to complete the application to manage entry people from the time of entry, at the isolation area and to monitor their health after the end. On May 8, the Ministry of Information and Communications proposed to apply a specialized bracelet to support the monitoring of people in concentrated isolation and after centralized isolation developed by Vietnamese technology enterprises. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, some countries have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects, but the use of available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Male. The purchase of foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of the partner, which can significantly affect the Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Meanwhile, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (mastering technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. The quarantine bracelet can open up a new management direction for low-risk quarantined people, who will be fitted with a bracelet to monitor their self-isolation at home. This approach helps to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in the isolation area, and at the same time reduces the social burden, especially the epidemic prevention and control team. Besides this bracelet, a number of other technological solutions have been deployed by the National Center for Technology for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to manage isolation, manage vaccinations and certify electronic vaccines… the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic.

Vehicles are sprayed with disinfectant at the COVID-19 disease control point on Ho Chi Minh Road in Huong Hoa commune, Tuyen Hoa district, Quang Binh province. (Photo: broadcast by VNA) On June 15, according to the Department of Health of Quang Binh province, up to this point, the province has not recorded any positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 in the community. However, in the face of complicated developments of the epidemic in provinces and cities across the country, in order to actively prevent and prevent the risk of epidemics from entering the area, the Provincial People’s Committee decided to set up a checkpoint COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control online Ho Chi Minh road in Kim Thuy commune (Le Thuy district). The latch will go into operation starting at 6pm on June 17. Units involved in performing tasks at the checkpoint include forces of the Provincial Police, Department of Health, Provincial Military Command, Department of Transport, Provincial Youth Union and People’s Committee of Le Thuy district. The forces will operate 24/24 to check and control the implementation of personal protection measures in epidemic prevention and control; determine the operation schedule of people and vehicles entering the province, especially people from epidemic-affected areas according to regulations. At the same time, the units will also check and supervise the restriction on entering Quang Binh province for people from localities that are implementing social distancing, epidemic-affected localities, especially from Ho Chi Minh City. Minh, Binh Duong province… In addition, at the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control checkpoint on Ho Chi Minh route located in Kim Thuy commune, public transport vehicles entering the province will be checked by forces at the checkpoint for prevention and control. anti-epidemic according to the guidance of the Ministry of Transport. Violations will be strictly handled according to regulations. Previously, Quang Binh province also activated and established groups, checkpoint epidemics at the “gateways” to the province on the road, airport and railway routes. Particularly on Ho Chi Minh Road, the epidemic control checkpoint in Huong Hoa commune (Tuyen Hoa district) has been in operation since June 8.

Development when installing and connecting surveillance cameras in isolated areas The Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) has just announced that it has completed the installation of more than 2,400 surveillance cameras in 150 concentrated isolation facilities in 32 provinces/cities from Da Nang onward. The main features of the camera system are live monitoring (live view), playback (play back), user authorization (user groups), user data protection, access logging, and tracking. regulations to meet the requirements of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control. Advanced features will continue to be updated according to actual requests from the Steering Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications. The system is designed according to edge computing model, helping to connect, process and store with low latency and unlimitedly expand processing capacity when needed. In particular, ensuring the security and safety of images and data is a top priority, when the entire system is protected at data centers that meet international standards. The decentralization and decentralization of system access are strictly followed and comply with the requirements of the National Steering Committee, the Steering Committees in the provinces/cities and the Management Division in the isolation area for image monitoring. 24/7 by hierarchy. In order to support the system to operate stably 24/7, VNPT has arranged a team of monitoring, operation and support in each locality, according to strict service standards. In addition, to meet the new requirements of the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, VNPT Group is investing in an infrastructure system to meet the connection of 10,000 surveillance cameras in isolation areas… Previously, in order to strictly comply with regulations on concentrated isolation and management after the end of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications asked the People’s Committees of provinces and cities to review the facilities. substances in concentrated isolation areas, ensuring close monitoring of quarantined people; The concentrated isolation areas must have enough cameras to monitor the quarantined people to take measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic as prescribed. In addition, the Ministry of Information and Communications has directed Viettel Group and VNPT Group to build a monitoring system and coordinate with the Departments of Information and Communications of provinces and cities to conduct surveys and connect surveillance cameras. in the isolation area to the centralized monitoring system designated by the Ministry of Information and Communications. Up to now, Viettel Group has also completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas in the northern provinces. Particularly for 130 isolation facilities in 125 communes of Bac Giang province, Viettel has mobilized resources to install 1,000 more cameras. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Control Center. The system applies cloud computing technology, allowing the National Steering Committee, Steering Committees in provinces and management departments in isolated areas to monitor images 24/7 according to decentralization.

“Computer Vision” technology is capable of warning behaviors such as: Not wearing a mask and not wearing a seat belt. Accordingly, Binh Anh Electronic Technology Development Co., Ltd (BA GPS) began to install the “Not wearing a mask warning” feature for free for some passenger transport units starting from June 2021. . Specifically, this analysis system is connected to the camera on the vehicle to get image data, then AI technology will automatically analyze and send a notification to the transport unit whenever it detects someone not wearing a mask. or wearing a mask incorrectly. The system also ticks green boxes for faces wearing masks and red boxes for faces not wearing masks. The warning system is sent to the transport business unit via software on smartphones and computers if there are passengers. People who do not wear masks are circled in red by the computer and sent an alert to the system Pham Thai Hoa – Technology Director of BA GPS shared: “The technology to process and analyze the necessary information in the photos is called Computer Vision (CV), translated into Vietnamese as Machine Vision. This CV technology is applied by us on the vehicle camera system”. Previously, in mid-May, Tien Phong reflected that surveillance cameras recorded images of many people not wearing masks on passenger cars, even the drivers and assistants. After that, the Ministry of Transport and the Directorate for Roads issued a document to correct this situation.

VNPT Da Nang deployed to install wifi and surveillance cameras at the concentrated isolation point of Le Do Secondary School, Son Tra district. The main features of the camera system are live monitoring (live view), playback (play back), user authorization (user groups), user data protection, access logging, and tracking. regulations to meet the requirements of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control. Advanced features will continue to be updated according to actual requests from the Steering Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications. The system helps to connect, process and store with low latency and unlimitedly expand processing capacity when needed. In particular, ensuring security and safety requirements for images and data is a top priority for VNPT, when the entire system is protected at VNPT’s international standard data centers. In order to support the system to operate stably 24/7, VNPT has arranged a team of monitoring, operation and support in each locality, according to strict service standards.

The warning system is sent to the transport business unit via software on smartphones and computers if there are passengers who do not wear masks or wear masks incorrectly. (Screenshots) The installation of surveillance cameras on transport business vehicles according to regulations from July 1 will promptly detect passengers who do not wear masks to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic. Binh Anh Electronic Technology Development Company Limited will provide and install the “no mask warning” feature for free for vehicles with surveillance cameras on passenger trucks from this June. . This technology will help transport businesses remotely remind if they detect and warn passengers/employees of the garage who are not wearing masks or are wearing masks incorrectly, and at the same time, people feel more secure when traveling by passenger car, raising awareness of compliance with 5K, minimizing the spread of disease in a crowded, closed, easy-to-infection environment on the vehicle and difficult to trace when detecting a COVID-19 case. Specifically, the analysis system is connected to the camera on the vehicle to get image data, then artificial intelligence (AI) technology will automatically analyze and send a notification to the transport unit every time it is detected. someone is not wearing a mask or is wearing it incorrectly. The system also ticks green boxes for faces wearing masks and red boxes for faces not wearing masks. According to Mr. Dao Thanh Anh, Chairman of Binh Anh Company, the environment of passenger cars, buses, trucks carrying workers and students … is closed, air-conditioner is on, anaerobic, so it is easy to infect and difficult to trace when encountering cases COVID-19. “For the transportation industry, artificial intelligence technology not only brings many benefits to vehicle owners, but also improves safety for all passengers. Currently, the number of camera images of businesses is increasing, the identification of people who are not wearing masks and counting the number of passengers can be over 95% accurate. Therefore, the warning feature does not wear the mask on the car will contribute to the society to fight back the pandemic,” Mr. Dao Thanh Anh expressed his expectation. In the coming time, this company will continue to apply artificial intelligence technology to help transport businesses optimize management and receive early warnings to improve safety for riders. In addition, a number of other features will also soon come into operation such as: Counting people in the car, alerting the driver to use the phone, not wearing a seat belt, opening the door when driving, warning someone is forgotten. In the car, connect the thermal camera to automatically detect when the body temperature is abnormal. Previously, the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has issued a document to correct the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic on passenger cars because it is reported that there are still many passengers, drivers and service staff on business vehicles. Transport businesses do not comply with epidemic prevention and control measures, especially not wearing masks in accordance with regulations. Notably, transport business units are required to urgently install surveillance cameras in accordance with the route of the Decree 10 2020 on business and transport business conditions, and review the requirements of transport business units that have installed cameras to provide accounts to access the server in accordance with Decree 10 for inspection purposes. , monitoring. The Departments of Transport of the provinces and cities shall direct their inspectors to coordinate with functional forces in their localities to inspect, urge, remind and strictly handle cases of violations of regulations on prevention and control.

Tesla ditches radar sensors on self-driving systems. Photo: Getty Images No company in the auto industry can attract as much attention as Tesla, on the one hand because of CEO Elon Musk’s controversial statements, on the other hand, because Tesla regularly makes “unusual” decisions. “. At the end of May, Tesla once again became the focus of public opinion, and this time not because of a “brake failure”, but a configuration change. Recently, Tesla announced that starting in May, Model 3 and Model Y in North America will no longer be equipped with sensor radar, cancel the millimeter wave radar in front of the vehicle and only use the camera as a receiver. data collection of automatic driving systems. This means that Tesla is poised to be the first car company to deploy a “pure vision” autonomous driving solution. Meanwhile, other self-driving car manufacturers are integrating radar, LiDAR and cameras in autonomous driving systems. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has always been adamant against LiDAR, even repeatedly criticizing LiDAR in public. He thinks this is an expensive, unnecessary technology. Even Elon Musk has called those who believe in LiDAR technology “stupid” and car manufacturers using LiDAR technology will never achieve success. So, why is Musk so adamantly “disliked” LiDAR and even all radars, and only favors a camera technology solution? To clear this up, we may need a basic understanding of autopilot schematics. Camera and LiDAR To build a set of automated driving system solutions, the automatic driving algorithm is of course inseparable. In order to achieve calculations, sufficient information is required first. During driving, the vehicle’s information collection source is the large and small sensors on the body of the vehicle. Among them, to realize autonomous driving, the most important sensors are the camera and LiDAR (must add millimeter wave radar and ultrasonic sensor, of course). Therefore, the autonomous driving system is divided into camera-based vision array and LiDAR array. “Camera-based vision” uses a high-definition camera incorporating an image recognition algorithm, while LiDAR to ensure system stability. The camera array, or pure visual diagram, is essentially a complete simulation of the state of a person driving a car, first seeing the image with the “eye (camera)”, then transmitting it to the “brain (processor)” for processing and judgment, and then give the action “Legs (steering mechanism)”. In addition to Tesla, Chinese companies including Jikrypton and Baidu have also adopted pure vision solutions. LiDAR technology uses a laser to measure distances and build a 3D map of an object, by emitting and receiving the laser’s feedback and then analyzing that data to produce the desired results. Many Chinese car companies including Xiaopeng, Weilai, BAIC ARCFOX, and many other new products also announced this solution. Which solution is better? The advantage of the “pure vision” solution is that the video data captured by the camera is the closest to the real world perceived by the human eye, and also the closest to the form of human driving. At the same time, with LiDAR prices currently very high, a pure vision solution using only the camera should be easier to control costs. Tesla’s pure vision algorithm analysis is already very strong. In addition, the image obtained by the camera is well suited for object identification and classification, in case the algorithms are excellent, it can remove confounding items and enable automatic learning during driving. car. However, as a visual algorithm similar to the human eye, the camera is easily affected by light, in harsh weather or poor lighting conditions, it is easy to cause misjudgment. Previously, when AutoPilot was turned on, Tesla models accidentally braked automatically when going over an overpass or under a normal bridge, due to the algorithm using a sudden ball in the camera as an obstacle. Rendering a 3D environment map drawn by LiDAR Compared with pure vision solution, the advantages of LiDAR solution are longer monitoring distance, higher accuracy, more sensitive response speed and unaffected by ambient light. LiDAR’s three-dimensional information processing, object size calculation, and movement speed are more efficient. However, LiDAR has problems such as weak object recognition, high cost, and accuracy in extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow. Therefore, LiDAR must be used in conjunction with other sensors to ensure safe driving. In addition, the collection of large amounts of data requires high computing power of the processor, which equates to an increase in the cost of the media processor. Theoretically, the combination of camera-based vision and LiDAR is a relatively complete solution today, but after combining many factors such as existing technology and product cost, it is too difficult to use. use a “third solution” that integrates these two major solutions. Tesla’s trade-off The cost of LiDAR is much higher than high quality cameras. In fact, abandoning LiDAR, and even now abandoning millimeter wave radar, one of the key reasons Tesla made such a choice was to achieve lower costs. After all, the cost of LiDAR is very high, the price of this technology in the early days started at 100,000 USD, but now with the development of the electronics industry, its price has decreased but basically remains the same. maintained at several tens of thousands of dollars. However, compared to high-definition cameras, the price of only a few hundred dollars is still much higher. However, besides cost, Tesla also has technical trade-offs. First of all, LiDAR does not determine the specific nature of the object, so it is easy to cause wrong judgment. For example, if a large plastic bag appears in front of the vehicle, the camera solution may recognize it as a plastic bag and ignore it, but LiDAR will judge it as an obstruction and stop the vehicle. Second, millimeter wave radar also has many limitations. The detection range of millimeter wave radar is directly limited if the band is weak. It cannot identify pedestrians nor accurately model all surrounding obstacles. At the same time, due to the large amount of data obtained, it will also consume precious computing power of the processor. Finally, for Tesla, the best company in imaging solutions, they have invested heavily in imaging algorithms. To give up the large accumulation so far, and turn to another path, in terms of input – output ratio, it can be said that it is not worth it. Tesla is loyal to a completely camera-based vision solution Tesla Vsion camera system. On Tesla’s official North American website, during the introduction of Full Self-Driving FSD, the performance information of the millimeter wave radar was removed and only the image sensor and ultrasound. At the same time, Tesla also released the driver monitoring system on May 28. The Model 3 and Model Y vehicle cameras can monitor the driver’s behavior when the Autopilot system is activated, detecting and reminding the driver to keep his or her attention. Tesla states that “camera data will be stored in the vehicle, and the system will not send the data back to the company unless the user gives permission to share the data”. In addition, Tesla’s FSD V9.0 autopilot system will also be officially launched this year. According to Musk’s earlier statement, the FSD algorithm has been “refactored” to achieve pure vision through 8 cameras around the body, while effectively solving the previous “brake failure” problem. Tesla also warned that Autopilot and FSD systems would be less effective during this technical adjustment period. “During a short period of transition, Tesla Vision vehicles may experience some limitations or inactivity, such as Autosteer being limited to a top speed of 120.7 km/h. , Smart Summon (if equipped) and Emergency Lane Avoidance may be disabled during delivery,” Tesla’s announcement reads. Whether LiDAR will win the market with a secure advantage in the future, or a camera-based vision algorithm dominates the market with a lower cost advantage, the answer is still unclear. However, judging from the information currently available, Tesla will choose to stick with a pure vision solution.

According to the research team, the new shirt product will help monitor the function of people’s hearts when they participate in activities such as jogging. The sensor is a self-powered device that can detect the wearer’s electrocardiogram, in other words, it will measure the action potential of the heart. In addition to finding ways to make smart devices attached to clothes (including shirts) more comfortable, researchers are also looking at deploying smart devices. into textiles to perform functions such as measurement, energy capture and energy storage. “We leveraged different processes and designs from the nanoscale to the macroscale to see if we could integrate electrical devices,” said Braden Li, a PhD student in the research team. death in textiles or not”. Illustration The shirt with the sensor is actually a project that Braden Li is overseeing. Specifically, the sensor is a low-power self-powered device that can sense a person’s electrocardiogram, which means it measures the electrical potential of the heart. For this project, NEXT is working with Advanced Integrated Sensor and Technology Systems (ASSIST) in NC State, as well as collaborators at Penn State who are building a shirt supercapacitor. However, it’s not as easy as creating a mere wearable that monitors heart activity. “You get all the different wishes and requirements on this smart product. Now you need to link them up on this shirt and make sure it looks good and is washable. You have to make sure it’s comfortable to wear. But that comfort is not suitable for a sensor to work normally; because the device also needs to be stable, it can be difficult to keep balance when mounted on a fashion product,” said Braden Li about the challenges of the research. Marissa Noon, a third-year student studying textile engineering, adds: “Having really smart fabrics is great, but they’re really hard to come by in the real world. It may be uncomfortable for the wearer to wear such fabrics, or the built-in smart devices may not last long… So it’s really important to have a soft fabric so you can stay comfortable. move freely but it still measures accurately.” It is known that the smart shirt product is not the only project that the team is working on. Researchers have developed a smart sock that can reduce the recovery time of a sprained ankle from four to six weeks to two to three weeks, while users can still do it. some movement during the recovery period. “The research and work being done at NEXT is exciting, and the team’s researchers are using their endless creativity to combine technology with art to create unique outfits. thoughtful, useful and comfortable in the future. Keep an eye on our research, because, one day, you may soon find Nike or Adidas products using generations of NEXT devices,” the team wrote. hope.

The Department of Tourism requires all tourist accommodation establishments to self-assess Covid-19 safety on the system of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. According to statistics of the General Department of Tourism, as of May 24, the city has 294 tourist service businesses registered and assessed for Covid-19 safety, the Department of Tourism said. In which, the number of registered tourist accommodation establishments is 244 with a total number of declarations of 2,236 times in 19/30 districts, towns. This is not a high number compared to the number of accommodation establishments in Hanoi. In order to proactively respond to the risk of the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, to ensure more effectiveness in epidemic prevention and control, the Department of Tourism proposed the local People’s Committees to continue to coordinate in strengthening inspection and supervision. promptly handle strictly tourist accommodation establishments that fail to comply with the epidemic prevention and control measures of competent agencies; Only allow tourist accommodation establishments to ensure Covid-19 safety to welcome and serve guests. In addition, localities need to guide and require accommodation facilities to fully make medical declarations by QR code (tokhaiyte.vn), declare stay for guests according to regulations; declaration of inspection and supervision tables for 19 concentrated medical isolation facilities. Accommodation facilities need to guide visitors to download and use the “Safe Vietnam tourism” app to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. All tourist accommodation establishments must self-assess and update to the national Covid-19 safety system according to the guidance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism by: Visit http://safe .tourism.com.vn to register an account according to the instructions; log into the system and self-assess Covid-19 safety according to the “Covid-19 safety assessment sheet at tourist accommodation establishments” available on the system; print the QR code and publish and paste the code at the reception hall or easy-to-observe area so that visitors can check and evaluate the facility’s epidemic prevention and control; guide customers to download and use the “Safe Vietnam Tourism” application. For accommodation establishments that are temporarily closed, do not do business or change industries, the Department of Tourism is required to still register and tick the “Closed business premises” on the system. Step 1: Visit https://www.bluezone.gov.vn or download directly at App Store or CH Play. Step 2: Once downloaded, the application will ask for permission to use Bluetooth to record contact with other users who have installed Bluezone. If Bluetooth is not already on, drag the status bar and turn on Bluetooth; or go to Settings, select Bluetooth and turn it on. Step 3: Once the installation is done, click Scan Around. If someone near you less than 2m has used Bluezone, the application will automatically identify these users and put them in the contact list.

Viettel’s technicians have installed 1,000 cameras in isolation areas of Bac Giang. Viettel Group said that, following the direction of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control, within seven days, Viettel completed the installation and integrated connection of 3,000 surveillance cameras in isolated areas of the country. northern provinces. Particularly for 130 isolation facilities in 125 communes of Bac Giang province – the locality that is experiencing the most stressful situation in the country, Viettel has mobilized maximum resources to install 1,000 more cameras within five days, quickly. double the normal rate. All image data from the camera is integrated into a centralized management system at the Control Center. The system of application of cloud computing technology allows the National Steering Committee, the Provincial Steering Committee and the Management Division in the isolated area to monitor images 24/7 according to decentralization. By deploying Viettel’s cameras, epidemic prevention and control agencies can monitor all activities in isolation areas from the 24-hour management system, minimizing possible developments. The epidemic situation is more serious when the human and material resources for the province’s surveillance have been mobilized to the maximum capacity. To ensure the safety of officials, employees and society, Viettel’s technical personnel participating in the campaign at isolated locations are fully equipped with protective equipment for epidemic prevention, and trained in epidemic prevention skills. and at each point of staffing to carry out the whole process, from surveying the location until the camera is fully integrated into the centralized management system. After completing the task, Viettel’s staff members are isolated for 21 days at home according to regulations. Mr. Le Dang Dung, General Director of Viettel Group said: “As the country’s key technology enterprise, Viettel is responsible for contributing technology solutions to realize national goals. With the spirit of soldiers, we are always present on the front lines to ensure the safety of the people and society.”

Using the bracelet to manage people in Covid-19 isolation. Emphasizing that the need for isolation monitoring in Vietnam is very large and urgent, the Ministry of Information and Communications pointed out that it is necessary to soon introduce digital technology solutions to implement automatic monitoring, improve monitoring efficiency, and reduce the load on staff. isolation areas and functional forces. In the world, there are a number of countries that have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects. But the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that using available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Buying foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of partners, which can significantly affect Vietnam’s Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Through the survey, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (owning technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. Proposing an option to apply a dedicated bracelet to manage people, the Ministry of Information and Communications said that this device uses GPS technology to record locations, the battery runs for 30 days, has Can send an alert if vandalism is detected or out of the quarantine area. The Ministry of Information and Communications proposed that the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control assign the Ministry to assume the prime responsibility for, and direct a number of domestic enterprises to research, produce and test using the socialization budget. It is expected that the time to research and customize the product to suit the requirements and mass production in large quantities is about 4 weeks after the technical plan and policy is approved. Currently, the solution of using specialized bracelets in the prevention of Covid-19 has been applied by a number of countries and territories around the world. The two main functions of the dedicated bracelet are: Proximity detection based on Bluetooth low energy technology (with the same operating mechanism as tracing applications); Compliance checking of subjects undergoing mandatory medical isolation based on GPS positioning technology. The use of a dedicated bracelet will overcome some disadvantages such as: Users do not have or cannot use smartphones, users actively turn off Bluetooth or GPS, users do not carry smartphones with them or turn off smartphones. Depending on the needs and methods of epidemic prevention and control of each country and territory, the use of bracelets with either or both of the above technologies is prescribed. For example, Singapore has put into use both close contact detection equipment and equipment to support mandatory isolation monitoring.

Applying IT into practice, developing smart cities with the motto of taking people as the center, TT-Hue provincial government has helped the people of the ancient capital promote their mastery role. On the morning of July 12, 2020, a group of 120 people carrying King Ham Nghi Long from TT-Hue province to Quang Tri stopped at O ​​Loi noodle shop on Le Huan Street (Hue City) for breakfast. The owner of the restaurant “hacks” each bowl of vermicelli 60,000 VND (normal price ranges from 25,000 to 30,000 VND). Mr. LHT (a person traveling with the delegation) was angry and reflected on his personal facebook with the desire that the authorities come in
inspection and correction. Upon receiving information from the interactive system of the Hue Smart City Monitoring Center, the Market Management Department of TT-Hue province sent officers to verify, make a record of administrative violations and sanction 750,000 VND for O Loi noodle shop for the act of “not listing the prices of goods and services at the price listing point as prescribed”. State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc (when serving as Prime Minister) during a visit to the Hue Smart City Management Monitoring Center “I reported on July 12, but only 3 days later, the functional force of TT-Hue province quickly took action and corrected us, making us very satisfied,” said Mr. T. About 2 years ago, the streets of Hue city center became the obsession of every passerby. Hundreds of people blatantly encroached on the sidewalk to trade. Shops and vehicles are messy, creating sloppy, offensive scenes, “bad” the face of the city of Hue. A campaign to restore urban order was directed and implemented by leaders of TT-Hue Provincial People’s Committee. Smart urban surveillance system with hundreds of “magic eyes” are cameras installed on all streets, accessing data, supporting the government to thoroughly handle violations. Those are just stories, small things among thousands of events received and handled during the journey of building a smart city in TT-Hue. People at the center TT-Hue is one of the first localities to build an e-government architecture after the e-Government framework was promulgated. 300 cameras were installed, transmitting data to the center. Along with e-government, smart city development has become an inevitable trend, a revolution in the digital transformation era. Director of the Department of Information and Communications of TT-Hue province, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Son said: “Its effect is that people and businesses can promote their own role. The motto is to take the people as the center. Going from “advocacy” to “sanctions” and becoming a need …”, Mr. Son said.
