Munich May 31, 2021 / US News / – TUV Nadee Wisu Group (hereinafter referred to as “TUV South Germany) as the first automatic driving vehicle public transport pilot project in Karlsruhe, Germany The team members set strict security ideas for the project autonomous navigation function. The EVA shuttle in the research project is being placed on the city street with the model of automatically driving small powers. EVA in the shuttle name is the first letter of “Elektrisch”, “VERNETZT),” connected “and” Automatisiert) in German. Users can purchase this batch of automatic electric minibuses by IOKI (subsidiary of German Railway Corporation’s subsidiaries). The work of the research team represented by TUV Naid is to ensure that the three small bars named Ella, Vera and Anna can be approved in the Weiherfeld-Dammerstock area in Karlsruj. Further, in addition to the full test of vehicle safety, functional safety and network security, the research group is also trained in accordance with the regulations. This research project has been funded by 2.5 million euros from German Transportation and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI).
Verkehrsbeebe Karlsruhe GmbH, Robert Bosch, Germany, Bosch “, Iokch,”, “Bosch”), IOKI and non-profit In the invitation of the Institutional FZI Information Technology Research Center (hereinafter referred to as “FZI”), TUV Naude officially joined the project team.
“Overall, passenger service is undoubtedly a milestone in the development of Germany’s automatic driving technology, which is the first high-level automated car application in urban public transportation.” TUV The CEO of the Global Ministry of Communications, Patrick Fruth, is expressed in the Press Conference in the Carlsruhe EVA Shuttle Operation. According to the current regulations, autonomous navigation not only has high technical difficulties, but also makes certain challenges in the safe driver.
As early as 2017, TUV Nade’s technical experts took hands with the Bad Birnbach Public Transport Authority to promote the first automatic driving bus in Germany, laid Tuuml; V Naude The pioneer position in this field. Since then, TUV Nade has accumulated rich practical experience through participating in various cross-domain automatic driving cooperation projects worldwide.
Take the safety driver to make up for safety lack
The passenger MRT system achieves SAE L4 for the first time, it means that the new requirements in the security concept are met. The EVA shuttle will be the first vehicle that continues to use autonomous navigation. The research team enhances the technology and system used by SAE L2 driver assistance system by adding a safe driver or operator to achieve SAE L4 automatic driving activities on public roads, speeding up research and importing passenger team service. .
Secure driver can manually stop automatic driving mode at any time, which is also a key element of the vehicle. In addition, this safe driver can manually manipulate the EVA shuttle in the case of the autonomous navigation system. In other words, the safe driver fills the last possible security gap. This security guarantees that the vehicle can achieve completely self-driving on the lane on a limited area (WEIHERFELD-DAMMERSTOCK), which means that the EVA shuttle can first disengage from the preset virtual “rail”.
ELLA, VERA and Anna can independently select the Best route of A points to B, and should also respond to road traffic, mobile passengers and more temporary stop points. Their navigation system is based on the high-precision digital map provided by Baden-wuerttemberg automatic driving test site, as well as the automation system for research team members Bosch, IOKI and FZi. The obstacles that appear along the way or specific intersections are very difficult to automatically, this requires special attention to the safety driver of the car. In these cases, the driver must pay close attention to the traffic situation and the interaction between the shuttle and other road users. While circumvenment, monitor the act of the vehicle at any time, and accurately determine the distance. When there is danger, the driver mustDo your best to intervene at any time, but you can’t intervene too early.
“Safe Honeycomb”
In order to accurately define the range of action and implementation requirements of the vehicle operator, the research team member conducts a series of a series of to eliminate faults and errors under the guidance of TUV Nade. Test. In addition, the safety range of the vehicle is also determined by simply testing the performance of the operator. The final result is that the safe driver must pay special attention to obstacles in the area around the vehicle, and monitor the path of the automatic driving vehicle, thereby forming “safe honeycomb”.
TUV Naid Automatic Driving Expert Dirk Fratzke, has been involved in research since the Karlsruue project is started. He believes that “Since the requirements are clearly pointed out, the safe driver should accept detailed training and testing. Therefore, training is an important part of the EVA shuttle safety concept. With the launch of passenger services and the approval of the speed of 20 kilometers, now the project is now entering At this stage, the study group will analyze the interaction between the automated system and other road users. Our research will be included in the advanced development method to improve the safety of automatic driving and network vehicles, until Approved and test phases. ”
Approximately, as part of the automatic driving license service package developed by TUV South Germany, the road license (hereinafter referred to as “AV Permit”) It is undoubtedly the key to automatic driving cars. The experts from TUV Nordic adheres to the independent, fair concept, and cooperates with automakers and related technology developers around the world to provide professional support for AV Permit.
Now, these expertise will also be used for EVA projects to escort this new way of travel. Dirk Fratzke said: “We are very pleased to choose TUV South Germany to make this new way. We have established this research project to ensure success. Now, every resident of Weiherfeld-Dammerstock has a chance. Experience the working principle and safety of automatic driving. “
