Beijing will set up the world's first high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone, said Kong Lei, executive deputy director of the Management Committee of the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone (BTEDC) and head of the high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone in Beijing, at a press conference held at the 2020 Zhongguancun Forum today (September 11), CCTV news reported.

       Kong lei said that autonomous driving is the commanding height of scientific and technological competition in the world and the key development direction of Beijing's advanced industries. Beijing leads the country in management policy innovation, road opening mileage, industrial ecological construction and other aspects. With new national infrastructure and the State Council to the Beijing municipal construction services of integrated demonstration area of opening wider to the outside of the formal approval, Beijing plans to work in the early stage of the leading, based on the target level L4 or high level automatic driving cars running scale, plan as a whole "car, road, cloud, network, figure" and other kinds of factors of high quality resources, planning and construction of high level automatic driving demonstration area.

       Beijing high-level automated driving demonstration area construction goal is to support the above level L4 high levels of self-driving vehicles scale operation, the downward compatible with low level automatic car test drive the vehicle operation and networking application scenario implementation, guide the enterprise on the technical route selection using car cloud integration solution, change the passive bikes intelligent the reality of the situation, many enterprises implement technology lead, promote technological progress. Demonstration area construction in construction principle, adopt "the underlying get through, the entire network integration, multilateral investment, common use" principle, pay attention to the construction of an open platform, committed to build a unified data base, and insisted on taking market as the guidance, to explore the government and enterprises investment boundary, encourage enterprises to actively participate in the construction, increase efficiency and industry integrated network using viscosity, explore the construction pattern of sustainable investment.

       On construction content, high level automatic driving demonstration zone will deploy high reliability, low latency communications network infrastructure, awareness of sustainable development of infrastructure, in line with national policy map of high precision and positioning the infrastructure and the underlying technology unicom's transport infrastructure, the construction of the edge cloud, cloud and cloud center, physical dispersion of the unity of logic of the three-level architecture of cloud point foundation platform. At the same time, combined with the deployment of infrastructure, centering on the real needs of the vehicle end and driven by the exploration of business model, high-level application scenarios such as L4-level autonomous taxi, intelligent netted bus and autonomous valet parking are realized.

       After full consideration, Beijing has chosen to advance in the economic and technological development zone with good industrial foundation, innovative resource agglomeration and flexible management system. Adopt "quick steps, iterations, perfect" approach, in 3 ~ 6 months for an iterative cycle, correction methods for subsequent construction and content unceasingly, gradually identified the best configuration of relationship between road cloud, according to the phase 1.0 build test environment), 2.0 (small-scale deployment), 3.0 (scale deployment and scenario development), 4.0 (promotion and scene optimization) steps through, form a mature model copy will gradually to other areas of Beijing.

       1.0 stage at present, Beijing has to carry out the construction and deployment of urban road 10 km, 10 km highway and 1 AVP parking lot of intelligent infrastructure, vehicle, road, cloud and other kinds of factors of traffic and transportation infrastructure interconnected large-scale project open experiment platform, the car, road, cloud is an organic whole repeatedly, information layer, application layer, the physical exploration by roadside information, participate in vehicle decision-making control, basic completion by the end of the year and synchronous phase 2.0 construction.
