At CES 2024 last January, VanJee Technology showcased a wealth of lidar products and groundbreaking C-V2X autonomous driving solutions. Their presentation comprehensively demonstrated VanJee’s innovation prowess and conveyed a strong confidence in deep commitment to the global market.
Among the show-and-tell objects was the international debut of the company’s WLR-740 lidar, with a real-time point cloud display area. The large screen vividly and intricately depicted pedestrians and the surroundings of the exhibition hall, attracting numerous visitors to stop and watch.
It is an automotive-grade lidar with 144-line performance, designed primarily for use in passenger vehicle advanced driver assistance scenarios. It meets the demands of mass production and offers excellent performance: detection range of 200 meters at 10-per-cent reflectivity, a 120°-wide fielf of view, and angular resolution of 0.1°H × 0.17°V. Its precision in structured design results in a compact volume of only 136 × 130 × 45mm.
Balancing safety and cost is a major challenge in autonomous driving. VanJee’s C-V2X-based Vehicle-Road Coordinated Autonomous Driving Solution provides its own answer. By integrating real-time traffic information from the road, it reduces the reliance on excessive sensors and redundant data computations for individual vehicles. This cuts costs and ensures the safety of autonomous driving.
In complex intersection scenarios, traffic data collected by the intelligent base station at the intersection is transmitted in real-time (200 ms) to autonomous vehicles via C-V2X. This data includes traffic information and traffic light status, enabling vehicles to make safer decisions.
This facilitates real-time sharing of roadside information, including long-range integrated perception, intelligent intersection with comprehensive elements, and traffic light data. On the vehicle side, it integrates two VanJee 144-line lidar WLR-740 and two VanJee 64-line blind spot lidar WLR-721, achieving full coverage of vehicle perception. Through the integration of vehicle and roadside information, VanJee provides global customers with the safest and most intelligent autonomous driving solution.
VanJee lidar has been deeply involved in the field of robotics for many years, cultivating numerous leading robot clients. At this exhibition, a prominent cleaning robot company from Singapore showcased its star robot product, R3, at VanJee booth. The ‘eyes’ on the front of the R3 robot are VanJee lidar WLR-716Mini. Thusly equipped, the R3 is receiving high praise from customers for both product performance and delivery completeness.
DVN comment
The approach considering lidar’s integration in C-V2X cooperative systems aims to balance safety and cost in autonomous driving, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution. In complex intersection scenarios, traffic data is transmitted in real-time to autonomous vehicles via C-V2X, enabling safer decision-making. That is an efficient solution to reduce costs.
