For Nissan, the route to the autonomous guide proceeds at full pace. Has just ended, in fact, a research project of the british devoted to the most recent technologies for autonomous guided vehicles, which has seen the electric car Leaf extricate himself easily along a route of 230 miles (370 km) in the driving mode is completely self-managed along the roads of the United Kingdom.
The project, named “HumanDrive”, has been financed with an amount of 13.5 million pounds by the british Government, represented by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, the agency Innovate UK and nine other partners.
The experimentation is divided into two parts: the travel guide-stand-alone 230 miles on british roads (referred to as the “Grand Drive” ) using advanced technologies for positioning, and an activity test on a test circuit private that has replicated the driving experience similar to that of human beings through the use of the technologies of machine learning to improve the user experience.
The vehicles used in the tests on the road, all the Nissan Leaf, consisted of an equipment format from the Gps, radar, Lidar and cameras, which allowed the on-board system to acquire a complete perception of the space around the car, and then decide for themselves how to deal with the roads and the obstacles along the path (a driver was sitting in the driving seat only for reasons of security).
“The project HumanDrive has allowed us to develop a guided vehicle, autonomous, able to overcome all the challenges encountered on the roads of the United Kingdom – said Bob Bateman, project manager at the Nissan technical centre europe – which are unique in the world because, scattered round the complex and country roads to travel fast with no road markings, white lines or kerbs.”
To the realization of the challenging Grand Drive have collaborated with all the partners of the consortium of british of the project that together have studied, such as the autonomous guide could simulate your driving style, natural, able to play man.
“The achievement of this longer trip to help self-employed in Britain – has underlined the minister of Industry, Nadhim Zahawi, is an incredible result for Nissan and for the consortium HumanDrive and a huge step forward towards the implementation of self-driving cars on the roads of the United Kingdom.
This project is a brilliant example of how the automotive industry, in collaboration with the Government, is able to develop the technology for the benefit of the mobility of people, while helping to reduce carbon emissions”.
“The Uk is quickly becoming the leader in technology and traffic management of intelligent vehicles and autonomous guide, is a global industry in strong growth and will create thousands of jobs – has added the minister of Transport and Innovation, George Freeman – The our future of mobility: an urban strategy that supports the innovation in transport mobility more clean, more sustainable and more intelligent, and the project HumanDrive of Nissan is as exciting as it might be the next phase of the revolution of transport in the United Kingdom”.
To report that the project HumanDrive has studied and collected data and information that will prove important for improving and designing systems to guide autonomous global of tomorrow, even if, at the time, it remains a research project, limited to Great Britain.
in the Meantime, nissan has made available on its range of technology ProPilot, the result of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility that ensures that assistance is advanced on the guide by using systems that can adjust steering, acceleration and braking.
With this system, the airbag is supported in the stress of driving, increasing control, reducing fatigue, protecting the occupants and providing greater security.
“the goal of The roadmap strategic Nissan Intelligent Mobility is to develop technologies for autonomous guide that can be used on all our cars, in any part of the world – said David Moss, senior vice president, research & development at Nissan Europe – The successes achieved by this research project of the british will certainly contribute to mobility in the future even more autonomous, sustainable and connected.” (m.r.)
