TOPIC

VINSMART’S MODEL OF SMART TOWNSHIP ECOSYSTEM

ABSTRACT

VinSmart has implemented 3 smart city projects at VinHomes Grand Park (Ho Chi Minh), VinHomes SmartCity and VinHomes Ocean Park (Hanoi) to bring 4 great values to create living standards for modern cities. That is Smart Security and Safety – Smart Home – Civilized Community and Smart Operation.

The project faces 3 major challenges that need to be overcome. The first one is to integrate huge amounts of data from multiple independent management systems poured in in real time from multiple vendors. The n ext one is the difficulty when the foreign devices do not meet the requirements of the VinSmart system. Finally, the technological challenge requires the system to identify the most insecure behaviors to apply in real-world situations.

To solve the integration problem, VinSmart has acted as the General Contractor for the entire software, hardware and transmission systems for all major urban areas. Next, with regard to equipment, VinSmart has self-researched and developed and produced, mastered technology (hardware, software, intelligent identification technology) and ensured the correct quantity, progress and production quality according to the project. Finally with the technological challenge, VinSmart has mobilized internal resources to act as a training data source. At the same time, VinSmart has cooperated with the VinAI Research Institute which is also a part of Vingroup Group to coordinate basic research (optimizing algorithms for deep learning models) and bring integrated models to devices (produced by VinSmart) to reduce identification time, not depend on transmission line and server, thereby increasing safety.
