Recently, Jinan's first intelligent and connected bus route officially commenced demonstration operations on open roads and opened reservations for citizens. The star of this intelligent and connected bus route is the Zhongtong N12 intelligent driving bus.

Following Beijing, Tianjin, Jiaxing, Suzhou, and Heze, Zhongtong Intelligent Driving has added another city to its portfolio, fully supporting Jinan's efforts to build a "dual-intelligent" city and promoting the pilot work of "vehicle-road-cloud integration" for intelligent and connected vehicles.

The Zhongtong N-series intelligent driving buses deployed this time feature a blue and white color scheme that echoes the city of Jinan, and the interior is even more "extraordinary."

Relying on Zhongtong's unique smart bus solution, these vehicles achieve true "vehicle-road-cloud integration." Through the core autonomous driving system, which includes perception, decision-making, and control, they can operate efficiently and in real-time in specific driving scenarios within the range of high-precision maps. They are equipped with functions such as traffic signal and road marking recognition, autonomous overtaking, automatic obstacle avoidance, and precise station entry.

The intelligent configuration allows the vehicles to autonomously "sense," "think," and "act," completing driving tasks in various scenarios without the need for driver intervention.

The electronic screens inside the buses display real-time information such as vehicle location, distance to stops, high-precision maps, and traffic signals. The high-precision perception and positioning equipment installed on the buses can accurately identify stops and signal states, ensuring safe stopping and intelligent passage.

The Zhongtong intelligent driving buses can also automatically recognize obstacles ahead and intelligently decide to change lanes or overtake based on traffic conditions. The vehicles are equipped with lidar and high-definition cameras to automatically detect obstacles and recognize lanes, enabling intelligent obstacle avoidance and safe departure from stops. After completing operation tasks, the vehicles can also park autonomously.

To date, Zhongtong Bus has successively launched four generations of intelligent driving buses, which have reached Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities. They have been demonstrated in Beijing, Tianjin, Heze, Jiaxing, and other locations, with a cumulative test and operation mileage exceeding 3 million kilometers, actively contributing to the development of smart transportation.

Looking ahead, Zhongtong Bus will continue to promote the innovative integration of big data, the internet, artificial intelligence, and other technologies based on the development needs of smart transportation. The company will enhance its ability to convert technological advancements into practical applications, supporting the smart development of cities and empowering a better future for transportation.
