At present, as an important part of strategic emerging industries, intelligent driving is one of the strategic commanding heights of the world's new round of economic and technological development. Under the call of the country to accelerate the "new infrastructure", autonomous driving that integrates 5G, intelligent network (Cheluyun) and other technologies is ushering in a "super track". Seizing market opportunities and achieving win-win development through cooperation, from the supply of mobile phone batteries to the foundry of electronic products, to the opening of a comprehensive strategic cooperation, BYD and Huawei have a highly compatible development philosophy and a tacit understanding of their counterparts. This time, using BYD’s pure electric truck T8 as the carrier, Huawei’s MDC intelligent driving computing platform, and Xidi’s intelligent driving intelligent driving software as support, we will jointly create an autonomous driving solution for park logistics. The three parties are committed to achieving and satisfying the park’s short-distance green and environmental protection and efficiency. The logistics and distribution requirements of transportation are applied to create a real "smart park logistics".

Since BYD officially launched the "Smart Park Logistics Project" with Huawei Smart Car Solution BU and Xidi Smart Drive in May 2020, the two parties have conducted in-depth exchanges and have steadily advanced in various links such as vehicle operation, system matching, and scene application. The electric truck T8 also carried out short-barge automatic driving operation in the Huawei manufacturing park, and the vehicle operation effect exceeded expectations, which was unanimously praised by drivers and relevant persons in charge of the park.

Electrified and intelligent "a match made in heaven"

According to incomplete statistics, China has 478 national-level economic development zones, export processing zones, and bonded zones, 1,170 provincial-level development zones, and more than 22,000 industrial parks and manufacturing parks. In the social environment of "reducing costs and increasing efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection", the logistics industry in closed parks is also facing many problems such as high operating costs and difficulty in recruiting drivers. In order to improve the efficiency of logistics work such as loading and unloading, transportation, receiving, and warehousing, and to achieve high-quality transformation and upgrading, the automation, intelligence, and unmannedness of logistics parks have gradually become a development trend.

In March 2019, BYD and Huawei upgraded their cooperation and signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement, aiming to carry out in-depth exchanges and cooperation in the areas of automobile intelligent network connection, intelligent driving, intelligent cloud rail, and intelligent park, and jointly promote the development of the automobile industry and the rail transit industry. Innovative development and digital transformation. This park logistics autonomous driving solution is jointly promoted by BYD, Huawei's smart car solution BU, and Xidi Smart Drive. According to the short-distance fixed-point transportation scenarios in a closed manufacturing logistics park, BYD’s pure electric trucks and Xidi Smart Drive will be used for intelligent driving. The software and Huawei’s MDC intelligent driving computing platform are “connected” to realize autonomous driving and single-point operations in the logistics park.

Park application scenarios

In order to solve the problem of manual transportation between warehouses and workshops, workshops and workshops in the park, the park adopts intelligent driving technology to reduce labor costs and logistics costs; the optimal driving system strategy reduces energy consumption and vehicle maintenance costs through precise operations . At the same time, from the perspective of park safety and cargo damage reduction, smart-driving vehicles are short-hauled in the whole process, such as automatic parking, automatic docking and charging, precise connection of cargo platforms, frequent driving and following vehicles, obstacle avoidance and other scenarios , The driving is smooth and stable, avoiding bumps and sudden stops. In order to avoid blind spot nodes during driving, in addition to the forward and backward monitoring and perception in the multiple redundant sensing scheme, it also includes a surround view camera group that covers the blind area around the vehicle body, a chassis perspective camera group that automatically detects the area under the vehicle body, and the vehicle body The surrounding ultrasonic radar, side-viewing lidar, and side-viewing camera provide a 360-degree surround view for the vehicle, which can respond to special-shaped obstacles above 10 cm to improve stability and safety.

The self-driving trucks jointly built by the three parties have been running well in the park and are of great significance. It marks an important step in the construction of a smart park. It not only fully demonstrates the trust and recognition of BYD's new energy vehicle products and technologies, but also demonstrates Huawei's practical capabilities in the construction of green and smart parks and ecological and environmental protection. Promote implementation through a single park, realize the incubation of replicated samples, and ultimately "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" to promote the overall innovation and upgrading of the logistics industry.

Master the core technology of new energy, BYD pure electric truck products win

The realization of intelligent driving in the park requires the vehicle itself and the technology platform to form a good "adaptability", and the intelligent driving system uses a large number of electronic sensors and high-performance computers, and its computing power, reaction time and other factors have higher requirements on the performance of the vehicle itself. BYD's pure electric trucks with "battery, motor, electronic control, and chip" as the core technology have faster response and higher efficiency, and can better ensure the vehicle-road-cloud, people and vehicles, and various types of information. Efficient collaboration, so as to achieve a true "smart park logistics", to achieve the goal of improving business operation efficiency and reducing overall costs.

As the first company in China to invest in the research and development of new energy trucks, BYD has strong R&D capabilities and vertical integration capabilities, and years of experience in the large-scale use, maintenance, verification and optimization of large-scale pure electric commercial vehicles. Its battery, motor, and electronic control The core technologies of new energy vehicles are all independently designed, manufactured, and self-contained, with better response, better matching, and higher priority. For application scenarios such as smart parks, BYD’s pure electric trucks can be well connected with the park’s smart operating system to complete the transportation of goods between the park’s warehousing and warehousing. At the same time, the control personnel can view the vehicle operating status data in real time through the cloud platform and dispatch When the vehicle automatically completes the charging, intelligent driving system or route change, the remote driving completes the transportation work, which greatly reduces labor costs, improves operation efficiency, and truly achieves the interconnection between cars and people, cars and the cloud, enabling high-quality travel and enjoying smart life.

At present, BYD's pure electric trucks have achieved commercial scale operations in many places, and have accumulated rich and mature market experience. At the same time, vehicles supplemented by intelligent driving systems have also landed in Xiamen Port, Ningbo Port, and Haneda Airport in Japan. , Has accelerated the development of intelligent new energy vehicles.

Like-minded, share the same feelings. As the development concept of smart driving continues to deepen, BYD has joined hands with Huawei's smart car solution BU and Xidi Smart Driving to integrate "deep technological accumulation and leading advantages in the field of new energy vehicles" and "AI (artificial intelligence), 5G, cloud computing "Leading advantages in fields such as, intelligent driving", deepen cooperation with deeds, boost the construction of smart parks, and accelerate the arrival of the era of smart travel. In the future, it will also promote the process of autonomous driving in more links with a more open attitude, and provide replicable smart logistics park construction experience for other regions of the country and even the world.
