Virtual Track Autonomous Driving Technology

Virtual Track Autonomous Driving Technology is a MRT-like system that achieves autonomous driving by obtaining location information from magnetic components and electronic tags embedded in the ground and then using decision-making and control algorithms to direct vehicle movements.

Features

Real-time continuous positioning represents a pivotal technology for the advancement of autonomous systems. Conventional positioning technologies, such as RTK and LiDAR SLAM, are subject to limitations in various operational contexts. These include signal blockage in urban environments, a lack of positioning feature points in open areas, and the necessity for frequent updates to base maps. These issues are inadequate to address the challenges posed by adverse weather conditions. Virtual Track Autonomous Driving Technology addresses these shortcomings by detecting ground magnetic signals and electronic tags, enhancing the accuracy and robustness of the positioning system, and avoiding the risks of positioning errors in rainy weather, backlighting, or obstructed environments. This further expands the operational areas for autonomous vehicles.

Technology

01. Positioning System

The system employs magnetic positioning technology, which is resistant to inclement weather conditions. The electronic tags facilitate real-time positioning. The system is not dependent on GPS signals.

02. Decision-Making and Control System

Path prediction technology and tracking control. / Accurate docking at stations. The vehicle is equipped with automatic emergency braking technology. / Obstacle detection and collision avoidance.

03. Perception and Recognition System (Expandable)

3D LiDAR obstacle detection technology. / Active distance control cruise system. / Pedestrian recognition technology. /  Signal recognition technology.

04. Intelligent HMI/Backend Management (Expandable)

Intelligent autonomous vehicle monitoring platform. /  Remote coordination.

Application Results

This technology has been successfully tested, overcoming the issue of poor stability of autonomous vehicles in adverse weather and obstructed environments. It further expands the application scope of autonomous technology, achieving all-weather operation for bus rapid transit. Additionally, this technology has been proposed as a solution for airport terminal passenger shuttle systems.
