Shanghai 5G Demonstrator Integrates Smart Roads, Autonomous Buses and City Systems

Human Horizons (Chinese automotive technology company) is using 5G, V2X communication, big data, cloud computing, LiDAR technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to realise an ecosystem of autonomous driving in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai. Human Horizons is demonstrating the first 5G autonomous driving traffic management system in the world to integrate the vehicle-road-city ecosystem. The Vehicle-Road-City Integrated Smart City development, in the AI hub of the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai, aims to lay the groundwork for the operation of autonomous vehicles in future smart cities. The traffic management monitoring centre receives and analyses data from the road and the three L3 dual-redundant autonomous shuttles travelling within the park. It uses cloud computing for remote, on-demand dispatching of vehicles. The 3D + 3 Sensing holographic road sensing network uses high-precision cameras, radar and LiDAR to monitor vehicles and evaluate driving conditions. The initiative is part of a larger Human Horizons project called 3 Smart focused on the integration of smart vehicles, roads and traffic management systems.
