On the morning of September 3, the launch ceremony of Hefei Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Line was held. Anhui's first 5G demonstration line of autonomous vehicles, with a length of 4.4 km, was officially opened on the same day. Ankai driverless bus was officially put into operation on the line, and welcomed the first batch of passengers to experience it. This marks the official landing of unmanned driving technology based on 5G enabling in Anhui Province and the opening of the road. Ankai is once again in the forefront of the commercialization of unmanned driving.
It is understood that the line around Tangxihe Park, Luzhou Avenue, Fang Xing Avenue, Huizhou Avenue, Zhongshan Road, a total length of 4.4 kilometers. It is worth mentioning that the line is open to both autonomous vehicles and ordinary vehicles, and there is no traffic control in the city. To be able to challenge such a complex urban road is enough to show the intelligent level of Ankai driverless bus, at the same time, it also fully shows the overall development level of the country's driverless technology tends to be mature.
5G technology will start a new journey for the development of smart connected vehicles
As the first 5G demonstration road for autonomous vehicles in Anhui, the line mainly covers "six parts", namely 5G network coverage, installation of road awareness equipment, upgrading of roadside traffic facilities, construction of cloud platform control center, construction of 5G scene application and exhibition hall construction. Through the six plates and the 5G equipment carried by Ankai's driverless bus, the car and road can be connected to each other to achieve a high degree of collaboration and integration, so that the vehicle operation can achieve higher intelligence and automation.
According to reports, 5G autonomous driving belongs to the "network" autonomous driving, compared to the traditional "single-bike" unmanned driving, has a revolutionary evolution, with the support of 5G technology, the vehicle equivalent to a "clairvoyant" perception ability, at the same time, 5G network ultra-low delay characteristics, also can ensure that the vehicle "brain" can receive real-time instructions. Thus greatly improve the safety of vehicle operation.
Once connected to the Internet, sensors on the road can quickly transmit information about stations, traffic lights, and obstacles to the vehicle through 5G network. Even if obstacles appear in "invisible" places such as the next turn or intersection, the vehicle will be able to sense in advance and prepare responses. In a multi-vehicle network, cars can communicate with each other in real time, allowing them to react faster than human brains.
Test site, vehicles real-time positioning, automatic turning, arrival parking, intelligent recognition of traffic lights, timely avoidance of pedestrians, automatic detour when encountering obstacles...... This series of completely without human intervention "automatic operation", almost "stunned" every passenger on the bus. The perfect combination of Ankai's driverless technology and 5G application makes people deeply appreciate the beauty and wonder of future transportation.
As a "milestone" event in the development of intelligent connected vehicles, the opening of the 5G demonstration line of autonomous vehicles has provided an important support for Anhui province to carry out intelligent connected vehicles testing and verification, promoted the digitization of transportation infrastructure in the province and even the whole country, and promoted the innovation and application of key technologies of autonomous driving and vehicle-road collaboration.
Many "initiatives" add up! Ankai driverless bus welcome new breakthrough
In fact, as a strategic emerging industry supported by the state, intelligent network car has been the focus of Ankai bus power. As a leader in the field of intelligent connected vehicles, Ankai Bus has already conducted the trial operation of driverless buses on open roads in Shenzhen in 2017, becoming the first driverless bus on public roads in China. Subsequently, Ankai unmanned driving technology continued to upgrade, and completed a number of domestic and global "initiative".
In April 2019, Ankai driverless bus successfully challenged the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, and helped the scenic spot open the first driverless bus line; In May 2019, Ankai driverless bus was put into trial operation at Central Japan International Airport, setting a precedent for China's driverless bus to go abroad. In September 2019, Wuhan transportation Department issued the world's first commercial license for self-driving vehicles, and Ankai driverless bus officially "got the license to work". In October 2019, Ankai Bus joined hands with China Information Technology and China Unicom to build 5G Smart Park for bus industry...
In the development process of intelligent connected vehicles, Ankai Bus continues to innovate and explore, and actively promotes the application of driverless and 5G technology. At present, Anhui's first 5G demonstration line of intelligent connected vehicles has been opened, which is not only an important symbol of the new era of intelligent transportation construction in Anhui Province, but also another important breakthrough in the field of intelligent connected vehicles made by Ankai.
At present, Ankai driverless bus has been put into trial operation in Shenzhen, Wuhan, Tianjin, Hefei and other places, and has been exported to Japan, which will further accelerate the commercialization process of driverless. In the future, Ankai Bus will continue to carry out cutting-edge technology innovation and development, expand the range of vehicle operation, and continue to lead the comprehensive upgrading of the automobile industry with technology products, to help the future smart travel.
