Core Viewpoint - Chengdu Transportation Investment Group is focusing on developing a low-altitude economy by establishing a comprehensive management service platform and enhancing infrastructure to support low-altitude operations, particularly in preparation for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu [6][8]. Group 1: Low-altitude Industry Development - The company is building a "1+2+6+N" low-altitude industry development system, which includes two major systems of park operation and low-altitude services, and six capabilities such as infrastructure support and low-altitude operations [6]. - Chengdu Transportation Investment Group has established a low-altitude service company in partnership with Chengdu Tian Investment Group, marking the first of its kind in Sichuan [8]. Group 2: Infrastructure and Technology - The low-altitude management platform and ground support facilities are critical for the low-altitude economy, which has more complex management needs compared to traditional transportation [8]. - The low-altitude management service platform has seven modules, including flight dynamic monitoring and flight activity management, providing essential services for government departments and enterprises [8]. Group 3: Application Scenarios - The use of drones for highway inspections has significantly improved efficiency, reducing inspection time from 90 minutes to approximately 40 minutes [8]. - Chengdu Transportation Investment Group is expanding various application scenarios, including highway inspections, medical logistics, and postal delivery in remote areas [8]. Group 4: Ecosystem Development - The Chengdu Huai Prefecture New City is becoming a hub for low-altitude enterprises, attracting industry leaders due to its comprehensive ecosystem and services [8]. - The company is integrating resources for investment, infrastructure, and operational services to create a low-altitude economic ecosystem, including a drone testing platform and a low-altitude logistics transfer center [8].

Core Viewpoint - The development of the low-altitude economy in China requires a significant increase in the number of low-altitude flying vehicles and the establishment of a digital, autonomous, and collaborative traffic management system to cope with the complex flying environment [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Development - China has over 22,000 drone manufacturing companies, with cities like Shenzhen and Chengdu excelling in both consumer and industrial drone sectors [2]. - There is a strong push from local governments to build various application scenarios for low-altitude economy, indicating a robust demand for such services [2]. Group 2: Challenges and Shortcomings - The low-altitude economy faces a critical shortcoming in traffic management and service, which requires the establishment of comprehensive rules and platforms to serve as the "central nervous system" for the industry [2]. - Three main bottlenecks in low-altitude management are identified: low precision in airspace management leading to "no routes for flying," difficulties in situational awareness resulting in "invisibility," and weak guidance and control capabilities leading to "inability to manage" [2][3]. Group 3: Technological Advancements - Traditional sensing technologies for mid-to-high altitude aircraft are inadequate for new low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude scenarios, posing challenges for the construction of low-altitude management platforms [3]. - Recent advancements include the establishment of integrated regulatory service platforms for unmanned aerial vehicles at national and provincial levels, with cities like Chengdu also launching their low-altitude traffic management service platforms [3].
