A few days ago, under the guidance of China Intelligent Transportation Industry Alliance, Baidu, together with the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Shenzhilian Innovation Center, Tongji University, Saimu Technology, Xiamen Jinlong, Hunan Xiangjiang Intelligence, ZTE, Geely Automobile and other units, officially released the “Autonomous Driving Bus”. “Series of group standards. It is reported that this series of standards includes two parts: “Autonomous Bus Part 1: Technical Requirements for Vehicle Operation” and “Autonomous Bus Part 2: Automated Driving Ability Test Methods and Requirements”, which mainly regulate the use of autonomous buses in vehicles. Technical requirements for basic security, information security, operational security, and autonomous driving capability testing.

It is understood that the China Intelligent Transportation Industry Alliance was initiated by 45 large enterprises, including Intel, Volkswagen, China Telecom, Huawei, AutoNavi, Wanji, Jinyi and other large intelligent transportation enterprises. The industry covers communications, automobiles, and automotive electronics. , traffic management and other fields. The alliance will carry out standardization work in four aspects: cooperative intelligent transportation, in-vehicle information service and safety, intelligent public transportation, and portable mobile terminal supporting traffic information service, and at the same time build an alliance test and test platform.

Specifically, the goal of “Part 1: Technical Requirements for Vehicle Operation” is to escort the operation of L4-class buses, and strive to achieve the safety upgrade and efficiency upgrade of the passenger-carrying service of autonomous buses. “Part 2: Test Methods and Requirements for Autonomous Driving Ability” puts forward clear test requirements and methods for the driving automation ability of self-driving buses, and realizes comprehensive verification of vehicle driving automation ability through a complete combination of site and road tests. . Baidu said that, as the industry’s first series of standards for self-driving buses, the release of this series of standards will continue to guide all self-driving bus research and development companies to improve their product technical capabilities and safety levels.

At present, Baidu’s self-driving bus “Robobus” has started full commercial operation in Yongchuan District, Chongqing. According to official information, in Baidu’s current Robobus demonstration application, passengers can use high-definition screens and voice broadcasts after boarding at a fixed station to understand the surrounding road conditions and vehicle driving behavior in real time, and immerse themselves in the safety and comfort brought by autonomous driving. and sense of technology. And through the screen outside the vehicle, Baidu’s driverless bus can interact with other road vehicles outside the vehicle at any time, share the driving information in real time, and combine the Display of V2X signal light information to enable the bicycle to intelligently empower other vehicles.
