[Explanation] As an important part of urban transportation, urban public transportation has great convenience for urban residents.

In recent years, bus safety accidents have occurred frequently, how to protect driving safety?

On September 18, the country's first self-driving bus operation capability challenge came to an end in Chongqing.

24 new energy bus models from 14 car companies across the country and 7 self-driving buses from 7 car companies competed fiercely at the Chongqing Motor Vehicle Forced Inspection Test Ground.

In the end, 7 models from 7 car companies won the Challenger Prize.

　　[Explanation] The challenge is based on the theme of "Smart Travel, Technology Escort", with traffic signal recognition and passage, automatic following in curves, automatic following and overtaking in a straight line, automatic speed limit driving, automatic obstruction bypass, pedestrian recognition and avoidance Seven typical scenarios of collision and station connection, as well as simulating the status of passengers on and off during bus operation, comprehensively inspect the operating capabilities of participating autonomous buses.

　　[Explanation] Chen Zhenguo, director of the technical research department of Zhongtong Bus, as the participating team, told reporters that intelligent transportation and green transportation will give birth to market demand for autonomous driving buses, and buses are one of the first vehicles that can realize the commercialization of autonomous driving.

The intelligentization of passenger cars can effectively solve the problem of driver fatigue driving and passenger interference driving.

　　In ordinary cars and ordinary buses, we all know the driver’s work intensity, working 8 hours or 10 hours a day, so that his work intensity is manually operated every day, including eyes, hands and feet have been operating various pedals, The labor intensity is still very large.

But with the use of autonomous driving, these tasks can be directly handed over to the machine and handed over to our intelligent control center to do, so the driving intensity has a relatively large liberation.

　　[Explanation] In the autonomous driving test ride experience activity, citizens feel the charm of "smart travel" at close range.

The reporter saw the bus driver leave the steering wheel with both hands, and the bus was driving along the designated route, encountering scenes such as bends, speed limit sections, and simulated pedestrians on the way.

　　[Explanation] Zhang Yidong, director of the Smart Car and Active Safety Test Research Center of Chongqing Vehicle Inspection and Research Institute, expressed that he hopes to promote the technological development of domestic buses through this competition, and promote convenient travel for citizens, low carbon and environmental protection in cities, and intelligent use of buses. effect.

　　We have been deeply involved in the passenger car industry for more than 30 years, our accumulated experience and our understanding of the entire industry.

Bring our important partners together, they can show their latest technology and latest products.
