The automotive industry is one of the main beneficiaries of the technological revolution which moves at an unprecedented pace. As a result, intelligence, connectivity, and digitalization are the three main features shaping the future of the automotive industry. Intelligence mainly drives the transformation of cars from mere means of transportation into living spaces; connectivity enables roads to change from being just an infrastructure provider to an information and communication provider; digitalization is the main reason cloud platforms are redefined from being a simple information interaction hub to an integrated service and decision-support center. In this context, intelligent connected vehicles will need to have the integrated capabilities of vehicles, roads, and clouds to be able to deeply integrate vehicles, transportation, and cities.
Vehicle-road coordination solution
The integrated vehicle-road-cloud business will, without a doubt, be the next big thing that will smart transportation and even smart cities will heavily rely on. Among other things, it will facilitate the realization of autonomous driving scenarios, enable the deep integration and innovation of intelligent transportation, and make it easy to explore and apply smart mobility.
This will be achieved through the building of a complete "sensing | computing | networking | cloud | intelligent mobility" transportation solution, wherein holographic sensing acts as the medium, IoT computing is the foundation, 5G/F5G communication is the support, and cloud-based applications are the implementation vehicle.
The roadside intelligent perception system through its perception sensors such as cameras and millimeter-wave radars detects motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects that are moving within its coverage area. After performing edge computing and analysis by the roadside collaborative computing unit, it accurately identifies and tracks the movement status of the traffic participants and also determines road traffic conditions on the road.
Besides, the system can also merge vehicle status information and other traffic facility data that are collected by RSU (Road Side Unit) devices. Furthermore, it can use cloud information obtained through networking to achieve vehicle-side - roadside - cloud collaborative perception and thus, detection and recognition accuracy can be greatly enhanced.
By integrating Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology with traditional traffic equipment, the intelligent roadside system for smart city intersections not only that it comprehensively uses sensing technology, network technology, computing technology, control technology, and information processing technology but also that it employs these technologies to intelligently upgrade roads. The system attains complete perception of the road surroundings, vehicle operations, and traffic travel conditions, it also manages through information technology the collaboration and integrated management of people, vehicles, roads, and the social environment, besides that it lays down the foundation for the next-generation intelligent road infrastructure environment and finally, it brings into being the smart transportation system through the intelligent road infrastructure.
The system gets all the necessary dynamically changing as well as statically remaining pieces of information from the intelligent connected cloud control basic platform. Static information among this comprises the basic road network information, intersection channelization information, light group information, wiring information, basic information of detection equipment, etc. whereas dynamic information comprises traffic flow data that is collected by detection equipment, intersection monitoring videos, etc.
The intelligent connected cloud control management platform layer through a cloud computing setting accomplishes the establishment of operation, testing, development and other environments, thus, providing platform support services for the development, testing, and operation of the data service layer and the application service layer. The system at this layer has the ability to interact with the vehicle-road collaboration system so as to exchange, share, and integrate application data.
Typical Application Scenarios ：
These mainly comprise scenarios such as smart parking which is an integration of dynamic and static traffic, smart bus stops that facilitate "vehicle-station-road-cloud" integrated collaboration, urban smart logistics and distribution, smart public transportation applications, intelligent traffic diagnosis and optimization, dynamic traffic flow monitoring and management, private travel services with an "omnipotent perspective" and off-site over-limit law enforcement.
Vehicle-road-cloud integration is a good thing and a must for intelligent connected vehicles, and it stands for the final trend and model of the evolution of intelligent connected vehicles under the coming era of the Internet of Everything.
