Jiading leads the way for ICV road testing
Print Edition
Two expressway sections in Jiading District are now open for road testing of intelligent connected vehicles.
The two sections consist of 21.5 kilometers on the G1503 Shanghai Ring Expressway and 19.5 kilometers on the G2 Beijing-Shanghai Highway.
So far, the district has opened roads with a testing mileage of 1,117 kilometers for the testing of ICVs, accounting for nearly 62 percent of all roads used for testing in Shanghai with 230.6 kilometers of roads and 287 road intersections already experiencing smart-oriented renovations.
“The cars are able to change lanes and make detours in response to emergencies such as breakdowns of other vehicles,” said Lin Tailai, vice president of Alibaba-linked autonomous driving unit AutoX.
Their speed should range between 80 and 100 kilometers per hour on expressways, he added.
The district has more than 700 intelligent connected taxis, buses, and sweeping and delivery vehicles in operation.
Last year, the city’s production of automobiles amounted to 3.02 million, accounting for 11.5 percent of the nation’s total, among which 990,000 were new-energy cars, or 14 percent of the nation’s total.
ICVs generally refer to cars that utilize sensors and telecommunication technology to activate artificial intelligence. Equipped with advanced sensors, controllers, actuators, and other devices, these vehicles integrate superior communication and network technology to achieve intelligent interaction among vehicles, people, roads and operating backgrounds.
There are a total of 926 roads in the city available for intelligent travel, according to the city’s transportation officials. Their ultimate aim is to achieve safe driverless operation in the near future.
