FOUR smart buses began a trial operation in Futian Bonded Zone in Shenzhen on Saturday.
The smart buses, which are smaller than an ordinary bus and equipped with lidar sen-sors, cameras and GPS antennas, began running on a 1.2-kilome-ter route with three stops in the zone. They can avoid hitting pedestrians, vehicles and barri-ers, and can safely change lanes and stop at designated sites.
The buses have a designed speed of 10 to 30 kph and have a driver who can manually brake or switch the vehicle to manual driving mode in an emergency. The bus, with 17 seats, can carry 25 passengers. It can be fully charged in 40 minutes and can cover 150 km on a single charge.
The project was jointly devel-
oped by the National Intelligent Transport Systems Center of Engineering and Technology and Shenzhen Bus Group, and implemented by Shenzhen Haylion Science and Technol-ogy Co. Ltd.
During the trial operation period, the buses are only open to invited passengers and are being used to collect data.
“The intelligent bus system Alphaba has met the necessary requirements, concerning stabil-ity, safety and reliability, to con-
duct a trial operation, “ said Yu Gang, chairman with Shenzhen Bus Group, at a launch ceremony Saturday.
“The system integrates multiple technologies, such as artifi cial intelligence, auto-matic control and visual com-putation. It has seven layers of safety protection, including lidar sensors, cameras and a GPS antenna, to analyze the road situation and respond in a timely manner,” said Hu Jianping, founder and chair-man with Haylion.
