China News Service, Beijing, November 7th (Niu Qingqing) Beijing took the lead in granting the corresponding road rights to unmanned shuttle vehicles in the form of coding, and completed another key management breakthrough for new products in the domestic intelligent networked vehicle field.
As a landing product of the emerging technology of autonomous driving, the unmanned shuttle vehicle is not currently a road motor vehicle regulated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and cannot obtain the right to drive on open roads. The industry as a whole is in the stage of testing and demonstration in closed and semi-enclosed parks. There is a strong demand for the application and implementation of unmanned shuttle vehicles in the open road and motorway scenarios, and corresponding policies and regulations are urgently needed for empowerment and management.
On the 7th, the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone Office released the country's first normative document for new intelligent and connected products for short-distance passenger transportation without a driver's seat and steering wheel - "Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy First. District Unmanned Shuttle Vehicle Management Rules (Road Test and Demonstration Application)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules").
The detailed rules released this time are the further improvement and supplement of the "2+5+N" policy system in the intelligent networked vehicle policy pilot zone, which enriches the management specifications for passenger-carrying vehicles.
The detailed rules are based on the basic principle of safety and controllability. With reference to the motor vehicle management rules, the unmanned shuttle vehicles are given corresponding road rights by issuing vehicle codes, and they are allowed to apply for driving routes on the basis of the 60 square kilometers of the pilot area, according to the demonstration area. Approve the phased implementation of road tests and demonstration applications.
The detailed rules mainly include four major highlights for the landing of new products.
First, in-depth exploration of the road rules for new products.
Based on the product characteristics and development demands of unmanned shuttle vehicles, and comprehensively considering the opinions of relevant departments, the pioneer area refers to the motor vehicle management rules, and takes the lead in issuing vehicle codes to allow new passenger-carrying products that are not equipped with steering wheels and driving positions. Open road for motor vehicles.
The second is to refine and standardize the whole-process management system for new products.
In terms of pre-entry access, on the basis of satisfying the relevant regulations of the applicant and the test vehicle, it is required to have a driver in the car, and strictly regulate their responsibilities as a driver and an administrator; in terms of in-process management, through effective implementation A full range of in-process management mechanisms such as filing mechanism, point management, and zero-clearing mechanism ensure the safety of test vehicles in depth; in terms of post-event handling, the mature management experience of the demonstration area is used for reference, and the identification of responsibility for accidents and the handling of traffic violations are clarified. accident data management.
The third is to comprehensively define the driving parameters of new products on the road.
On the basis of in-depth research on industry products, according to the safety requirements of vehicle regulations, the product parameters of unmanned shuttle vehicles are clarified from the basic requirements, components, configuration, function, performance, and safety in 6 major dimensions and 30 sub-items.
The fourth is to effectively ensure the comprehensiveness and pertinence of technical testing.
To determine the autonomous driving ability of the test vehicle in different scenarios from the technical level, the test vehicle is required to pass three categories of closed field test, simulation test and laboratory test, with a total of 115 test items.
Among them, starting from the function of unmanned shuttle vehicle products, targeted design and requirements are made for specific scenarios such as site parking and route planning.
As another domestic pioneering policy to be implemented in the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone this year, the detailed rules formulate the construction policy of actively practicing the pilot zone to encourage the application and promotion of new products, new technologies and new models, effectively helping to create a policy-friendly model. business environment.
The detailed implementation rules will help the safe and efficient implementation of the intelligent networked unmanned shuttle vehicle scene in the demonstration area, lay the foundation for future unmanned and commercialized pilots, and provide Beijing experience for industry innovation management.
