Shanghai Metro will join hands with Alibaba and Ant Financial to develop cutting-edge technologies to improve the Metro's service.
The Shanghai Metro signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the two companies. Some of the technologies were displayed at the headquarters of the Metro. However, the public will have to wait to use these technologies in the Metro stations.
One of the technologies was the voice control ticket dispenser. Passengers can simply inform the machine where they want to go by talking to the machine within a distance of 1 meter. The machine will then provide navigation advice and issue the tickets.
"We are now able to capture the voice of the passenger despite all the noise in the station," said Tian Biao, a voice control engineer from Alibaba.
"As far as I know, this machine is the first one around the world to accurately capture the right information under a noisy circumstance."
