On January 10, a series of fully automated driverless BYD rails, filled with passengers from all over the country, sailed through the air and marked the first official opening of China's unmanned straddle-type monorail. BYD Yinchuan Cloud Track has thus become the world's first equipped with 100% independent intellectual property rights unmanned system straddle monorail.
On the same day, it was on this unmanned track that BYD and Huawei jointly held a press conference. Acting Mayor of Yinchuan Yang Yujing, Chairman and CEO of BYD Wang Chuanfu, Huawei Vice Chairman and rotating CEO Guo Ping Witness the release of cloud-based driverless systems.
In 2011, BYD set up a R & D team of more than 1,000 people and spent 5 years accumulating a total of 5 billion yuan to create a straddle type monorail 'cloud track' with independent intellectual property rights. In August 2017, BYD's first cloud track was Yinchuan put into operation.
After more than four months, Yinchuan Cloud Track made a breakthrough - can be fully automated driverless.Yinchuan cloud-tracked unmanned system is scheduled to put into trial operation in the second quarter of 2018. In the future, the unmanned system will be Cloud is the main high-tech configuration track.
The driverless is divided into four levels. BYD claims that its unmanned system has reached the highest level - fully automated unmanned (UTO) for fully automatic operation, with the least amount of security tracking intervals and uninterrupted power loss Driving, automatic diagnosis, sleep wake-up, passenger flow real-time monitoring, face recognition and many other functions.

Every morning, the cloud track will automatically be "awake" and will be automatically launched after many tests such as traction, braking, door, lighting, battery, air conditioner and so on. After that, the mobile phone will automatically go home, Automatically 'sleep'.
Before or during the operation of the vehicle, the cloud track will self-diagnose and complete more than 300 tests including system-wide.
Under extreme temperature conditions, the system can work normally, not only to adapt to the low temperature of minus 40 ℃, but also to withstand the high temperature challenge of 80 ℃.
In case of mains interruption, the cloud track can be automatically switched to on-board power battery and drive the vehicle safely to the station in unmanned mode.
It is reported that Yinchuan cloud tracks will be able to brush face pitted passengers through the face recognition gate, almost no need to stay, you can pass.In addition, each railroad car with high-speed wireless broadband service, passengers can wireless Internet access At the same time, relying on real-time passenger flow monitoring technology, passengers will be able to receive real-time platform and cabin congestion tips, to avoid the congestion zone, go directly to the comfort zone.
In addition to the control technology and positioning technology of BYD, it is inseparable from Huawei's eLTE communication technology, that is, the 4.5G rail wireless private network. If the unmanned system of BYD's rail is a human being Brain decision-making system, then Huawei 4.5G wireless rail transit network, the role of cloud-free manned to provide fast and efficient information delivery channels, the two tacit understanding can make unmanned to become controllable and safe.
Turning to the cooperation with Huawei, BYD chairman and CEO Wang Chuanfu said Huawei 4.5G wireless network on behalf of the wireless industry trends, in line with the needs of cloud development.
Guo Ping, Vice Chairman and CEO of Huawei, emphasized that Huawei and BYD have maintained very close cooperation in the field of consumer electronics since 2004. Both BYD and Huawei belong to Shenzhen enterprises, With world-leading technologies in the field, the cooperation between the two parties is a best practice for joint innovation to accelerate the digital transformation of the industry.
