Real-Time ETA and Fleet Management System for Green Minibuses
SOCIF participated in a city-wide smart mobility project commissioned by the Hong Kong Government. In collaboration with HKT and Octopus, SOCIF delivered a real-time estimated time of arrival (ETA) and fleet management system for the Transport Department, covering more than 3,500 green minibuses and over 160 minibus operators across Hong Kong. Serving millions of passengers every day, the system significantly enhanced the intelligence of Hong Kong’s public transport network and improved the overall passenger experience.
Premium Taxi Fleet Booking Platform in Hong Kong
SOCIF developed a taxi booking platform for one of Hong Kong’s largest taxi fleet operators as part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s Franchised Taxi Fleet Scheme. SOCIF was responsible for the system development, delivering a smart taxi-hailing and booking platform that connects passengers, taxi drivers and fleet operators. Supporting more than 800 taxis, the platform provides the public with convenient, efficient and reliable taxi services.
The platform comprises a passenger mobile application, a taxi driver mobile application and a fleet operations management platform. It also incorporates AI-powered automated matching and intelligent pricing features to improve ride-hailing and dispatch efficiency, enhance fleet management capabilities and deliver a better passenger experience.
Smart Bus
Mobile Application Transformation
SOCIF supported the comprehensive revamp and system upgrade of the passenger information mobile application for Hong Kong’s largest public bus operator, delivering a smoother and smarter travel experience to more than one million daily active users across Hong Kong. The introduction of a range of new features—including real-time bus estimated time of arrival (ETA), intelligent route planning such as automatic filtering by lowest fare and fewest stops, alighting alerts and a smart search keyboard—has significantly enhanced passengers’ travel efficiency.
Smart Driving Safety System for Hong Kong International Airport Security Vehicles
SOCIF provided an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and driver monitoring system (DMS) for the security company operating under Hong Kong International Airport. The systems are used in the daily operation of security vehicles to enhance driving safety, driver management and fleet operational efficiency.
The project delivered an end-to-end smart driving safety solution covering hardware devices, in-vehicle installation and software customisation. Powered by artificial intelligence, the solution identifies driving risks and unsafe driving behaviour in real time, issuing immediate notifications and alerts to drivers for distracted driving, drowsy driving and other potential safety risks. This helps reduce the likelihood of accidents at an early stage.
AIoT Vehicle Tracking and Counting System for Fairview Park
SOCIF provided Fairview Park, a large residential estate in Hong Kong, with a vehicle tracking and counting system that uses existing cameras at entrances and throughout the estate. Edge-based license plate recognition, vehicle classification and two-way traffic counting link vehicle entry, parking and exit data into a complete record, enabling management to monitor traffic flow and vehicle locations in real time.
The system identifies private cars, taxis, light goods vehicles, buses/minibuses and motorcycles, while providing data on traffic volume, vehicles on site, area occupancy, parking duration, vehicle type distribution and travel routes. SOCIF designed, developed and integrated the system, including alerts for blacklisted plates, unauthorized access, prolonged parking, wrong-way driving and offline equipment, with optional integration with parking barriers and property management platforms to enhance smart estate and car park management.
Smart Gate Control Systems for a Macau Vehicle Inspection Centre and a Large Hong Kong Residential Estate
SOCIF provides smart gate control systems for a Macau vehicle inspection centre and a large Hong Kong residential estate, integrating vehicle barriers and pedestrian gates into a unified access control and event management platform. The systems support license plate recognition, resident and staff cards, NFC, QR codes, temporary passes and appointment-based access, enabling secure and efficient entry management for residents, visitors, contractors and vehicles.
The systems record entry and exit directions, gate numbers, timestamps and credential types, while transmitting vehicle and pedestrian access data to operations, property management and resident platforms in real time. SOCIF was responsible for the software design, development and gate equipment integration, with additional functions including visitor reservations, whitelist management, anti-tailgating, pedestrian flow counting and integration with existing barriers, turnstiles, property management platforms and fleet management systems.
AIoT Visitor Analytics System for Tourism Centres
SOCIF provided Hong Kong tourism centres with an edge-computing-based AI video analytics solution. Using sensors, the system analyses visitor numbers, crowd movements, and visitor characteristics in real time, helping management monitor the operational status and visitor activity of each tourism centre.
The system supports visitor counting, age and gender analysis, as well as on-site supplies and inventory checks. It transforms visual data into actionable information for management and decision-making, thereby improving operational efficiency and data transparency at the tourism centres.
SOCIF was responsible for the design, development, and deployment of the AI video analytics system. By processing visual data at the edge, the solution reduces reliance on cloud transmission and improves response times. It can be flexibly configured and expanded according to the needs of different tourism centres, while supporting multi-site centralized management and future system integration.
