The First Cross Provincial And City Highway Autonomous Driving Freight Test In China Has Officially Started

Recently, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications of the first batch of intelligent transportation (automatic driving and intelligent shipping direction) pilot application tasks - "Tianjin Port to Majuqiao Logistics Park Road Freight Automatic Driving Pilot Application" (hereinafter referred to as the Tong Gang Da Yuan project) in the (hereinafter referred to as Tong Gang Da Yuan project) started regular road test and formation self-driving test on Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, and will be the first to start commercialized trial operation, exploring the new business model of "intelligent freight transportation channel + self-driving transportation capacity".

The project is led by China Merchants Highway, China Merchants New Intelligence is responsible for the overall design of the project, key product research and development, system integration and construction, program standards and specifications preparation, and TRUNK.TECH is responsible for the research and development of the self-driving truck queue technology and the joint testing and operation, the project will effectively promote the construction of intelligent freight transportation channel in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the integration of the development of intelligent logistics. Since the project was approved and launched in 2022, TRUNK.TECH has continued to actively work with China Merchants Highway, China Merchants New Intelligence and other cooperative units to carry out the project construction, and at the end of that year, it initially completed the closed-loop self-testing and operation of the whole process of the self-driving truck formation loading from the port of Tianjin, through the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Highway to the Majuqiao Logistics Park.

In December 2023, the Beijing and Tianjin sections of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway were formally included in the work of self-driving vehicle lanes road, so that the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway has become the first cross-provincial and municipal self-driving test road in China to support vehicle-road coordination, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers of the test section, and the demonstration application of the self-driving trucks will be tested at speeds of no more than 80 kilometers/hour, and the main driver's seat of the vehicle will be set up with a safety officer.In January 2024, TRUNK.TECH, together with China Merchants Highway and China Merchants Xinzhi, formally launched the real vehicle test.In addition to single-vehicle self-driving truck cargo test, it will also focus on 2-3-vehicle formation self-driving test, and jointly explore with logistics enterprises to carry out the commercial operation of real cargo transportation.

This inter-provincial and municipal automatic driving road opening and test start, is the main line of technology and China Merchants Highway and other cooperation units to implement the strategy of a strong transportation country, help digital China and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration of the construction of positive initiatives, highlighting the main line of technology as the first batch of testing and demonstration of qualifications of the enterprise, in the core technology of automated driving capabilities and "industry, academia and research" ecological cooperation leading the way. As one of the first companies with testing and demonstration qualifications, TRUNK.TECH has demonstrated its leading position in the core technology capability of autonomous driving and "industry-university-research-use" ecological cooperation.

At present, the "AiTrucker" L4 automatic driving system independently developed by TRUNK.TECH has accumulated more than ten million kilometers of mileage in long-term testing and commercial operation, and is actively carrying out intelligent transportation business with customers such as China Reserve Intelligent Transportation, Deppon, Shentong Express, etc., exploring and polishing the self-driving truck freight business model, laying a solid foundation for large-scale commercial operation in the future. We have also actively carried out intelligent transportation business with customers such as China Reserve Intelligent Transportation and Deppon and Shentong Express, exploring and polishing the self-driving truck freight business model, laying a solid foundation for future large-scale commercial operation. At the same time, TRUNK.TECH is the earliest enterprise in China to independently research and develop self-driving truck formation technology, and continues to participate in the research of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Transportation and other national ministries and commissions, testing and verification of the project and standardization of the enterprise, self-research and development of the "TRUNK CAFC" networked self-driving freight transportation formation technology, which can be realized by 3-5 intelligent trucks in formation transportation operations. Intelligent trucks can carry out formation transportation operation, with the technical characteristics of low spacing, millisecond response and vehicle-road-cloud collaboration, which effectively reduces air resistance, enhances fuel efficiency, improves road traffic capacity and transportation safety, and is the road transportation solution with optimal efficiency and lowest cost in the whole situation. At present, the "TRUNK CAFC" technology is not only further tested and demonstrated in the Tong Gang Da Yuan project, but also tested and commercially operated in Shandong, Yangtze River Delta and Inner Mongolia.

Although the road is far, the line will arrive. Now, based on the intelligent port driverless transportation project of TRUNK.TECH in tianjin port, the whole area of tianjin dongjiang comprehensive protection zone automatic driving test demonstration, combined with the further opening of the beijing-tianjin-tang highway real road test, the TRUNK.TECH has also become the first to pass the container logistics full scene of the automatic driving trucking transportation enterprise. From the unmanned horizontal transportation in the port after the cargo ship docking, to the port, into the urban area and even intercity high-speed self-driving transportation, the main line of technology will accelerate the construction of intelligent transportation network covering the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, with the power of science and technology to serve the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development of the national strategy!
