Driving the development of e-Government infrastructure
AI Chinese-style Foot Drill Learning StationSince 1 July 2022, the Correctional Services Department has fully adopted the Chinese-style foot drill to demonstratecorrectional officers’ patriotic feelings for our country. In the meantime, through the performance of Chinese-style foot drill in various ceremonial events, the spirit of patriotism can be promoted to stakeholders from various sectors, and the public’s sense of national identity and national pride can also be strengthened. In order to effectively help recruit trainees master the skill sets of Chinese-style foot drill, the Hong Kong Correctional Services Academy has developed the AI Chinese-style Foot Drill Learning Station, which covers a wide range of data. First, it has recorded the Chinese-style foot drill performance by the Guard of Honour of the Hong Kong Garrison of the People’s Liberation Army, which serves as the standard movements for learning. Second, relevant guidelines and rules of the Chinese-style foot drill (such as the angle of each movement) are incorporated in the AI system. Third, the training data obtained from the AI image analysis together with the manual score adjustment by teaching officers, if any, can produce an assessment score. As the AI system can learn on its own at the same time, this can increase the accuracy of its assessment. After every training session, the teaching officers will replay the training video and adjust the score if there are any deviations from the standard movements. The substantial amount of data collected will be used to enhance the analytical capabilities of the system, thus enabling it to learn. The AI Chinese-style Foot Drill Learning Station precisely captures users’ movements so that it can analyse each movementin detail. Take salute asan example. Through analysing a user’s joint angles of the left and right legs, the difference in height of both shoulders, the joint angles of the left and right elbows, the head turning angle, the neck bone angle, etc., the artificial intelligence will generate scores, from which the user can gain a better understanding of his/her weaknesses and make improvement accordingly. The AI Chinese-style Foot Drill Learning Station will also collect a wide range of data of the recruit trainees, such as the response time to commands, the pace and the angles of body movements, etc. for analysis and evaluation by the artificialintelligence.
Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring System (CSD)Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring System (CSD) VideoThis is Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring Systemadopting Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology for health sign monitoring. It provides continuous detection of the breathing rate and heart rate of persons in custody (PICs), so that CSD officers can immediately respond to the medical emergency and ensure the safety of PICs. The sensor runs 24/7 and is able to detect the following vital signs in real time : (a) Presence Status (vacant / occupied / in motion); (b) Heart Rate in beats per minute; (c) Respiration Rate in breathes per minute; The detection is still able to function when the PIC iscovered by a woolen / padded quilt blanket. The system allows CSD officers to remotely monitor the vital signs of PICs at the system workstation. Alarms would be triggered to notify operators when abnormalities in a PIC’s vital sign is detected. A Strategic Plan was formulated in 2018 which has been served as a blueprint for the future development of the Correctional Services Department. With innovation and determination, the Department will actively promote and facilitate the development of the “Smart Prison” protocol, which aims to promote the modernisation of correctional facilities, enhance the level of security alongside the efficiency of custodial operations, and strengthen the self-management ability of persons in custody. As a result, more favourable conditions can be created for them to be integrated into society again. With reference to the experience gained from the trial runs of previous technology projects, the Department has been making modifications, introducing new elements and conducting system integration so as to convert Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution into a first-generation smart prison, which has already been put into implementation and operation in May 2021. The first-generation smart prison has achieved remarkable results through the implementation of innovation and technology strategies to modernise, informatise and humanise the management mode and process innovation of correctional facilities, further enhancing the effectiveness of institutional management and rehabilitation, and leading to a safer and more secure Hong Kong.
Project e-GUARD, 3R SolutionR-Solution VideoSearch and RescueV@nguard Video 1V@nguard Video 2The Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) of the Hong Kong Police Force joined hands with the University of the Hong Kong (HKU), andthe government departments and organisations that support local small andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to promote an anti-email scam projectnamed “e-GUARD” to the business sector. Under Project e-GUARD, a Suspicious Email Detection System “V@nguard”, is co-developed by CSTCB and HKU to assist SMEs in automatically detecting suspicious emails in their daily business communications and to protect them against email scams. Upon installing "V@nguard" to the SMEs' email server, it would automatically check the email address of the incoming email against the server’s email history. If the email address is first-time received, a warning banner would appear at the top of the incoming email content alerting the user to ensure its authenticity. This is a significant function because in many email scam cases, the email receivers (the company staff) mistook the fraudulent emails to be genuine ones from their business partners/supervisors, which used similar characters like "0" vs "o", "1" vs "l". “V@nguard”was launched on 10 January 2022 for free download vi aCyberDefender (https://cyberdefender.hk/en-us/security_tools/). As of June 2022, the number of downloads has reached 19,000.

Patient Tagging System for Multiple Casualties IncidentsPatient Tagging System for Multiple Casualties Incidents VideoThe Fire Services Department will launch the Patient Tagging System for Multiple Casualties Incidents (PTS-MCI) in the fourth quarter of 2022. The PTS-MCI is a good example that The Fire Services Department will continue to use technology to improve operational efficiency. The system facilitates ambulance personnel to count the number and information of the casualties at the scene, and allocate ambulance resources. Each ambulance will be equipped with a designated smartphone with PTS-MCI app for the system, and ambulance personnel will carry this designated mobile phone to participate in rescue operations. Although the system will bring additional procedures to ambulance operations, it will greatly reduce the workload of current manual records, thereby simplifying the workflow and improving accuracy and efficiency in rescue operations, allowing ambulance personnel to focus more on the treatment to the casualties. The system has 4 main human interface devices which includes: New Triage Card with NFC chip and QR Code, Smartphone, Patient Tagging System for Multiple Casualties Incidents (PTS-MCI) Mobile Application, Web Application of Patient Tagging System for Multiple Casualties Incidents (PTS-MCI). The ambulance personnel will use the new triage card to triage the casualties, together with PTS-MCI to record the condition and basic information of the casualties. Once the data is recorded by the app, it will be transmitted to the system terminal via the mobile network. Relevant parties can obtain the latest information at scene through the website, including the number of registered casualties, the gender of the casualty, the age group, the nature of injuries, etc. Mastering this information is very essential for the ambulance personnel in the management of a large number of casualties. Colleagues of Mobilizing and Communication Group can also synchronize with the ambulance crews at the scene and obtain the same relevant information of casualties in real time. Colleagues in Mobilizing and Communication Group are able to know whether the casualties are conveying to or have arrived at the hospital via the system. The Head Office Duty Officer and A&E department of Hospital Authority can also grasp the latest situation of the casualties through the webpage of PTS-MCI, so as to make advance preparations for receiving casualties.
IoT Smart Helmet with Cloud Based Management PlatformDasloop IoT smart helmet and cloud platform are designed and developed by Beeinventor. It is a comprehensive system for enhancing the health & safety of workers and improving site management. This smart IoT device and system has been widely used in Hong Kong construction sites. This is a real-time monitoring system to track and locate workers in both outdoor and indoor environments. The Smart Helmet can detect the user’s heartbeat rate and body temperature. Accidental falls and motionless conditions can also bedetected by the accelerometer sensor. If abnormal readings are detected, aninstant alert will be sent to the cloud platform and SMS will also be sent so that quick actions could be taken. The alert includes; Body temperature too high, heart rate too high, free fall, and standstill. Besides, it can work with the UWB collision warning system that canprovide the most comprehensive safety protection to workers. User can also ask for help by pressing the panic button in case of emergency. This smart helmet also has a public announcement function that can send voice messages to workers (such as weather alerts or special instructions). Kai Tak East contract is one of the eight contracts of Central Kowloon Route (CKR)project. The works under KTE Contract mainly comprises the construction of anapproximately 700-metre-long CKR mainline in Kai Tak and the Kai Tak Interchange. Construction of 5 vehicular bridges across Kai Tak River poses huge challenges, which requires installation of temporary working platform and cofferdam over the river. Given its large catchment area, rapid surge in water level might be resulted from heavy rainfall, posing a danger to construction workers. In order to further reduce the safety hazards for the construction works at temporary working platform and cofferdam in Kai Tak River, smart safety helmets are deployed to closely monitor the condition of workers. This smart helmet provides solutions to the project team for identifying any unauthorised access into the cofferdams and thus enhancing the access control. Besides, announcement can be made to the workers remotely via the speaker equipped on each Smart Helmet, thereby enabling the workers and site supervisory staff reacting to any emergency circumstances in time.
5G Smart Door Lock, Worker Management System, Automatic Deformation Monitoring System, Smart Over-height Vehicle Detection SystemSmart door lock is a lightweight, low-cost product for mobile asset management solutions. It supports GPS/Beidou positioning, provides time tracking and supports remote change of product configuration parameters. Smart door lock can replace traditional keys with key cards to facilitate offline/online, cloud platform, and smartphone management. It can keep track of who, when, and in what way that lock is, with logging of violation records for follow-up.Worker management system utilises a wireless Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) meshing network to route messages from tags to anchors and gateways. It transmits data to the central server for monitoring the positioning of workers in tunnel.Automatic Deformation Monitoring System (ADMS) is deployed to monitor the movement and settlement on the sensitive structures in real-time, which greatly ensures that the construction works under this Project would not disturb the daily operation of the sensitive structures (e.g. MTRC TCL Tunnels). ADMS consists of total stations, monitoring prisms, stable reference points and control software.  It collects the vertical and lateral movement data and send back to the central management platform for monitoring the conditions of the sensitive structures. The results of ADMS monitoring data would be served by web and accessed by the related parties from remote site.  It has a strict requirement for minimum data lost as the operation cost of the sensitive structures would be very high due to any disturbance from the existing construction works.  Provided with high accuracy monitoring data, ADMS is a reliable and flexible system for monitoring the daily operation work. Once individual monitoring points triggered the Alarm, Alert or Action (AAA) values, the system will send messages notification to all related parties.  Such automatic alarm system allows the relevant parties back on the real time results and swiftly take appropriate actions in due course.This system aimed to avoid over-height vehicles(OV)hitting the temporary portal frame for bridge construction and to safeguard workers working at the portal frame. When OV is detected by the 3-D LIDAR devices, a series of warning lights and sirens along the carriageway and at the portal frame will be triggered to alert the drivers and workers respectively. At the same time, image of the OV will be captured by the high speed camera and the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM) of the OV will be recongised by AI technology. The system adopted the 5G network for transmission and within approximately 3 seconds after the detection, a warning message with the VRM of the OV will be displayed on the LED display panel at the scene. An alert message will also be sent to the construction team's mobile phones for their necessary actions.
AI Camera for Detection of Safety Helmet (CEDD)Artificial Intelligence (AI) Camera for Site Monitoring VideoWith the adoption of AI analytics and machine learning tools, the AI camera can effectively identify potential hazard at the site, and thus achieving automatic monitoring and enhancement of site safety. For example, the AI camera can identify the workers who cross the haul roads at non-designated locations, whether the workers are equipped with proper personal protective equipment (e.g. safety helmet) and enter the restricted zone. If any potential hazard is identified, the concerned workers will be alerted and the site supervisory staff will be notified for immediate follow-up action. In addition, the AI camera can also recognize construction vehicles and determine the cleanliness of wheels of vehicles.

Geospatial Lab (GeoLab) provides a platform for the young generation, startups and creative minds to discuss, explore and exchange ideas for harnessing the potential of spatial data. GeoLab organises activities such as competitions, workshops and talks, to raise public interest and explore the value and application of spatial data. The 3D Digital Map, which is one of the building blocks of CSDI, is to facilitate opening up and sharing of Government spatial data. To meet the increasing needs of 3D Digital Map applications and enhance better understanding of multi-level spaces of a modern city like Hong Kong, the Government aims to develop the high-quality 3D Digital Map by phases and strives to cover the whole territory by end 2023. Government BIM Data Repository (GBDR) serves as a centralised common data repository for BIM sharing among Lands Department and Works Departments. It stores and shows design and as-built BIM models (hereinafter the Models) in native and open formats for effective and efficient information exchange. The Models provide rich geometric and semantic information for supporting 3D Digital Map. It is hosted in Government Cloud Infrastructure Services (GCIS) of Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) for easy access by different WDs via Government Backbone Network (GNet).
