The city of Seoul will hold a kick-off ceremony (Kickoff, Kickoff) at the Sangam Cultural Plaza (in front of MBC) on May 5.12th to announce the start of “Voluntary Autonomous Mobility Demonstration” with civilians such as Mapo-gu, Seoul Institute of Technology, and 9 companies and universities.
At the inauguration ceremony, Hwang Bo-yeon, head of the Seoul City Transportation Office, Dong-gyun Lee, Mapo-gu Office, and In-seok Ko, Director of Seoul Institute of Technology, along with 7 leading companies * related to autonomous driving such as LG U +, Unmand Solution, Control Works, and 2 universities including Yonsei University and Hanyang University, etc. 9 Representatives from the dog organizations attended and lit up.
* Participating companies: LG U +, Unmand Solution, Control Works, Tool Space, Spring Cloud, SML, Automos
** Participating universities: Yonsei University, Kookmin University
Companies and universities participating in this demonstration of self-driving mobility were selected through the “Test Bed Seoul” project to support the industrialization of innovative companies' products and services.
<Self-driving shuttle bus, vehicle sharing service, proxy parking, delivery robot, etc.>
The city created the Sangam self-driving test bed with MOLIT in June 19.6, and since September 19.9, it has been developing self-driving technology and piloting autonomous vehicles in cooperation with 25 industry-academy-research institutes.
However, the “autonomous driving mobility” that the city will launch at the launching ceremony is not a temporary demonstration operation of vehicles with autonomous driving functions, but will be used directly by citizens on the stage of the actual downtown road and will bring revolutionary changes in life. It is the future of service.
Looking at the “autonomous driving mobility”, that is, the mobile service, it is an untouched (non-face-to-face) shared vehicle service that comes and goes to the destination anytime, anywhere, even when there is no license and private vehicle. Valet parking (valet parking)
소형 A small shuttle bus that carries traffic vulnerabilities while circulating the region. ▴It is the innovation and change of future mobility that self-driving will bring, such as delivery robots that transport logistics to a desired place even in areas where vehicles cannot go.
To demonstrate mobility, the city injects 10 autonomous vehicles (3 buses, 4 passenger cars, and 3 delivery robots) only in the Sangam area with the private sector, and demonstrates them on a real road in an uncontrolled complex downtown.
언 Shuttle bus is Unmand Solution (Own production, 1 unit), Spring Cloud (1 Navya production), SML, Automos (Solarity remodeling, 1 unit) ▴ Shared vehicle service is Yonsei University and Tool Space (Niro and Ray) Remodeling, 2 units) ▴As for the parking lot, Hanyang University, LG U +, and Controlworks (G80, Grandeur Remodeling, 2 units) 언 Un-mand solution (3 units of self-production) will participate in the delivery robot.
<Provides traffic signal information to autonomous vehicles through vehicle wireless communication, and provides safe demonstration by notifying dangerous situations in advance>
For safer demonstration, the city provides autonomous vehicles with a traffic light color and remaining time when the signal changes in 0.1 second increments through a vehicle wireless communication network to help prevent accidents such as traffic light recognition vision sensor errors.
In addition, it provides a world-class and safe demonstration environment by delivering various dangerous situations, such as pedestrians and accidents in blind spots that are not recognized by autonomous driving sensors through a dense C-ITS infrastructure such as deep learning video detection.
< Starting in June, all citizens can experience self-driving, such as free use of the self-driving shuttle bus, with application. >
The city will first make it possible for citizens to experience “autonomous driving mobility” first, so if they apply as early as 6.16 (Tue), they will be able to use the self-driving shuttle bus that circulates in the Sangam area for free, and from 6.8 (Mon) to Seoul You can apply through the traffic information website (http://topis.seoul.go.kr).
* The schedule may be changed slightly depending on the policy of keeping distance from the spread of Corona 19, etc.
Shuttle bus operates a route (6km) that cycles through Digital Media City Station ~ Nurim Square ~ Digital Media City Station for a total of 54 times for 3.3 days a week except Monday. The plan is to increase the number of times to a total of 108 times.
In addition, public vehicles, surrogate parking, and robot taxis are also openly recruited for citizen experience groups, providing citizens with a “citizen participation type experience” to evaluate their services while using them directly.
From 6.8th (Mon), you will be asked to board the self-driving shuttle bus through the Seoul Traffic Information website (http://topis.seoul.go.kr), and you will pick up citizens and start formal operation verification on Tuesday, June 6.16th. to be. Applications are open to all citizens and are free.
<Untact (non-face-to-face) mobility platform innovation will be the most advanced in the world in the post-corona era>
With the momentum of the launching ceremony, the city commercializes the world's most advanced self-driving mobility in the world and ambitions to lead the world market by settingtle for "uncontact (non-face-to-face) mobility" that minimizes contact in preparation for post corona. Said.
To this end, the city plans to accelerate industrialization along with innovation of the new normal future transportation based on autonomous driving, calling and using all means of transportation without a driver while minimizing human contact with this demonstration.
Seoul Metropolitan City Transportation Manager, Hwang Bo-yeon, said, “Seoul will develop into an eco-friendly smart mobility innovation city that sets standards in the world market by commercializing autonomous driving, robot delivery, unmanned drones, and smart parking in the world's best public transportation city.” Seoul Future Transportation The vision was presented.
