Urban Road Renewal & Integrated Solution for Urban Non-Motorized Travel System | Zhiyin Avenue, Wuhan
Stretching approximately 9.5 kilometers from Budweiser Road in the west to Qingchuan Bridge in the east, Zhiyin Avenue in Wuhan is one of the "Seven Horizontal and Nine Vertical" backbone roads planned and constructed in Hanyang District. It also serves as a key supporting road for the "Two Rivers and Four Banks" project, connecting the river views of the Yangtze River and Hanjiang River as a whole. By improving the quality of transportation in Hanyang, it has become one of the longest and most beautiful riverside landscape corridors in Wuhan.
With the deepening of urbanization, the urban non-motorized travel system has gradually become an important component of urban transportation and road renewal. It helps promote low-carbon travel, realize the organic integration of public transportation and non-motorized travel, and enhance residents' travel experience and quality of life. Moreover, it serves as a key part of the policies for building spiritual civilization and achieving the "dual carbon" goals.
How to construct an urban non-motorized travel system? Zhiyin Avenue in Wuhan has provided an exemplary answer, which is also a microcosm of the improvement of Wuhan's overall non-motorized transportation system. In the comprehensive reconstruction and renewal of Zhiyin Avenue, ensuring smoother non-motorized travel and a better travel experience is the key to the successful construction of the non-motorized travel system!
How to effectively address project challenges and achieve the ultimate goal of road reconstruction?
As the provider of the integrated solution for the road lighting renovation and renewal of Zhiyin Avenue, our company (Sanxing Lighting) has closely collaborated with relevant authorities, deeply grasped the core objectives of the project, and proposed effective solutions to tackle key project pain points. Through the comprehensive upgrading and transformation of lighting infrastructure—urban furniture—we have successfully unlocked the "Pandora's Box" of Zhiyin Avenue.
Pain Point 1: How to enhance residents' travel experience?
As one of Wuhan's time-honored arterial roads, Zhiyin Avenue derives its name from the ancient Chinese story "High Mountains and Flowing Water"—a tale of bosom friends. Legend has it that Bo Ya and Zi Qi, two renowned figures of the Spring and Autumn Period, met right here in Hanyang.
Our smart landscape street lamp "Linghang (Pioneer)" adopts bionic design principles for its appearance, integrated with modern minimalist design techniques. Its streamlined shape echoes the form and spirit of "high mountains and flowing water," fully embodying the city's cultural connotations and highlighting the implication of "Everyone finds their bosom friends in Hanyang."
Ingeniously, the "Linghang (Pioneer)" lamp incorporates piano key-like decorative elements at the pole and lamp head positions. These elements complement the black-and-white matching pavement of the non-motorized travel system's sidewalks, achieving a mutually enhancing effect. Not only do they embody the "bosom friend" cultural element, but they also boast high recognizability and aesthetic appeal in terms of visual effect.
As a heroic city, Wuhan fired the first shot of the 1911 Revolution, proclaiming the end of China's more than 2,000-year-old monarchy. Coincidentally, the name of our product used in this road reconstruction project is "Linghang (Pioneer)", which symbolizes leading the trend and forging ahead—an implication that aligns closely with Wuhan's historical heritage. Standing tall on both sides of the road, the "Linghang (Pioneer)" lamps act like security guardians, protecting every traveler!
The smart landscape street lamp "Linghang (Pioneer)" not only meets the basic needs of road lighting but also enhances residents' travel experience, turning travel into a pleasure and promoting low-carbon green travel. On the other hand, it further showcases urban culture, creates a new city card, supports the development of urban cultural tourism through cultural export, and stimulates the vitality of the urban night economy.
Pain Point 2: How to create a smoother non-motorized travel system?
In the field of non-motorized travel, the widespread problem of cluttered poles occupies road space, significantly affecting the continuity and smoothness of traffic flow.
To address this issue, our smart landscape street lamp "Linghang (Pioneer)" integrated pole, as an urban furniture infrastructure, adheres to the principle of "integration where possible." It centralizes functional terminals such as traffic lights, signboards, and cameras onto a single pole, freeing up road space, reducing obstacles, and providing favorable conditions for the smoothness and expandability of the non-motorized travel system. Essentially, it lightens the load and streamlines the road.
The upgrading and reconstruction of Wuhan's Zhiyin Avenue has greatly improved the road transportation network in Hanyang District. The organic integration of public transportation and non-motorized travel has provided valuable exemplary experience for the construction of urban non-motorized travel systems. Our company's smart landscape lighting products have evolved from their initial single lighting function to a comprehensive integrated solution for urban road renewal, supporting the in-depth development of urban renewal.
Moving forward, our company will continue to advance the innovation and upgrading of product R&D and design, launch lighting products and urban furniture tailored to diverse needs, deepen smart product technologies and low-carbon energy-saving solutions, create a healthy and intelligent urban lighting environment, enhance user experience, support urban renewal, and illuminate a beautiful China with the light of technology.
