When the car meets with technology, what kind of spark of wisdom will it spark? Under the technology empowerment, how to use the “wisdom” of science and technology to eliminate the shortcomings of manual driving and build a safer, comfortable and efficient travel environment? When “smart car” and “smart road” become a reality, people begin to redefine the relationship between car, road and people, and intelligent driving is gradually approaching.
“China has good basic conditions in terms of transportation system, road facilities, 5g, digital map, etc. in the future, the realization of unmanned or automatic driving will be realized through the technology of single vehicle intelligence and vehicle road coordination.” Xie Hui, director of the driverless vehicle crossover research center of Tianjin University, told reporters that at present, many cars are equipped with some advanced driving assistance technologies, which are the application embodiment of single vehicle intelligence. Vehicle road collaboration requires technical support such as vehicle networking and cloud computing. It combines intelligent vehicles with intelligent roads, making the information exchange between “people vehicle road cloud” more and more intensive, and promoting vehicles to be intelligent and networked.
Is intelligent driving safer than manual driving? From the perspective of driving, since the driverless system collects the driving experience of many people, it can carry out accurate calculation, accurately perceive the road conditions, and will not cause fatigue problems. Therefore, the technical level of driving is generally higher than that of manual drivers.
However, the driver is not only the driver, but also the safety officer, which requires a lot of perceptual or rational reasoning and higher memory and accumulation. Now driverless vehicles are mostly running in the test area, and more rich and effective safety management experience is being explored.
The Internet of vehicles is an essential standard configuration for the development of intelligent vehicles and automatic driving. The Internet of vehicles is a cloud based vehicle operation information platform. Its ecological chain includes intelligent transportation system, logistics, passenger and freight transportation, auto repair and auto parts, vehicle management, insurance, emergency rescue and other aspects. In today’s increasingly congested urban traffic, the Internet of vehicles has broad application prospects. In this regard, Tianjin is accelerating its layout.
In February this year, Tianjin Binhai New Area was established and approved by the Ministry of artificial intelligence application and innovation. Prior to this, Tianjin Xiqing has been approved to build Tianjin (Xiqing) national vehicle networking pilot area. So far, Tianjin has become the only city in China with double pilot areas.
Tianjin (Xiqing) national vehicle networking pilot zone, inaugurated in June 2020, can provide integrated solutions for the vehicle networking industry. The three-level test system of “virtual test field closed test field open test road” covers the whole process of intelligent network vehicle testing. This provides a good test application environment for global auto enterprises and parts manufacturers, making vehicles smarter and roads smarter.
According to the action plan of Tianjin for building a national new generation artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zone, Tianjin will carry out the functional transformation of vehicle networking of transportation facilities and the improvement of core system capacity in key areas, and promote the construction of vehicle networking security management, communication authentication system and cloud service platform with open and interconnected information. At the same time, support Xiqing District, Dongli District, Haihe Education Park and other regions to deeply explore multi scene applications and services, explore intelligent and networked applications such as independent parking, sanitation operation vehicles, Park logistics vehicles and buses, build an open, integrated and innovative industrial ecology, and form replicable and popularized experience and practices.
At this stage, the exploration of intelligent driving technology in Tianjin has gradually entered the application level. In Tianjin port, the whole process of unmanned automatic transformation of traditional container terminals in the world has been realized, and the scope of automatic transformation and upgrading is expanding; In Zhongxin eco city and Haihe Education Park in Jinnan District, the self driving panda bus and smart bus shuttle back and forth on the scheduled route, and people can experience the fun of driverless from a close distance.
Looking ahead, the car will no longer be a simple means of transportation, but also a smart mobile space that understands your needs. In this space, you can study, rest, watch movies, and even don’t need a driver. Automatic driving technology will lead us into a new era of intelligent driving.
