11 km/h, driverless bus in Finland road in Helsinki-Finland, the bus-IT information
Recently, a small unmanned bus is Finland´s capital Helsinki on the southern section of Highway operation. Reporters twice at the test site to participate in trial experience.
22nd at about 10 o´clock in the morning, a method of China´s domestic "EasyMile EZ-10" for micro-electric car pulled into the station, after several passengers waiting for the vehicle to start. But the flight attendants told everyone to be patient and wait for a while, because it was parked at the roadside, interfere with the driverless bus to run.
The bus without the driver, but with one crew, attendants can open a manual steering if necessary to avoid accident risk.
After a while to a trailer, the illegally parked car opened, driverless bus to boot normally.
The morning of 26th, press again. The smaller buses within the limited space, only 6 seats, in addition to 6 people, not the cockpit. Although up to 40 km per hour, but only 11 km/h during a test.
Testing interval is a speed limit of 30 km of highway, much lower speed than the speed limit. Tired of following vehicles, saw the opportunity to pass from the side. When there is a lateral pass, passengers can feel the driverless buses automatically slows down.
Flight attendant explained, drone of laser sensors that can detect objects close to the bus, but could not identify are vehicles or pedestrians, automatic deceleration is an "instinctive" reaction.
Bus station platform for testing on the shaft there is a warning sign that says "when the vehicle left the station, do not stay in the platform". Driverless buses as long as there are objects on the probe arrived at, on passenger car does not start by default.
The test project Hali·sangtamala, head of the Xinhua News Agency said a major feature of the test is to make driverless bus to run on an ordinary Street. At present, the driverless buses at the bus system attempts to run all over the world were rare.
Santamala said that Finland law does not specifically require a motor vehicle must have the driver, which makes the driverless bus operation in a real environment possible. On July 15 of this year, Finland´s Transportation Safety Board approved a driverless bus in Finland road.
This test also Finland provides an open platform, enterprises can use this platform for unmanned vehicles to develop new products and services. Nokia is one of the participating enterprises, Finland media, Nokia plans to provide unmanned vehicle network communication security.
Santamala said that the drone instead of the traditional public transport bus, not in a short time, but they "can be added to public transportation."
Soon after, driverless bus will then proceed to two Finland main cities-Espoo and Tampere to test. Nordic winter cold, complex road conditions, this bus will face a more severe test.
时速11公里，无人驾驶公交车在芬兰赫尔辛基上路 - 芬兰,公交车 - IT资讯
最近，一队小型无人驾驶公交车正在芬兰首都赫尔辛基南部的一段普通公路上试运行。记者日前两次前往测试现场参加试乘体验。
22日上午10点左右，一辆法中国国产的“EasyMile EZ-10”小型电动汽车驶入车站，几名乘客上车后等待车辆启动。但乘务员告诉大家还要耐心多等一会儿，因为有人在路边违章停车，干扰了无人驾驶公交车的运行。
这辆公交车虽然没有司机，但配有一名乘务员，必要时乘务员可以开启手动转向装置，规避意外危险。
不一会儿来了一辆拖车，将违章停靠的轿车拖开，无人驾驶公交车才正常启动。
26日上午，记者再次搭乘。这种小型公交车内部空间有限，只有6个座位，另外还可站6个人，没有驾驶舱。虽然最高时速可达40公里，但测试期间时速只有11公里。
测试区间是一段限速30公里的普通公路，测试速度显然比限速低很多。跟随其后的车辆等得不耐烦，看准机会就从侧面超车。在有侧方超车时，乘客能够明显感觉到无人驾驶公交车在自动减速。
乘务员解释说，无人驾驶公交车的激光传感器能够探测到有物体靠近，但无法辨别是车辆还是行人，自动减速是一种“本能”反应。
用于测试的公交车站站台上还竖有一块警告牌，上面写着“当车辆离站时，请不要在站台停留”。因为无人驾驶公交车只要探测到站台上有物体，就会默认有乘客要上车而无法启动。
此次测试项目负责人哈里·桑塔马拉对新华社记者说，这次测试的一大特点，就是让无人驾驶公交车在普通街道上运行。目前，将无人驾驶公交车置于常规公交系统中运行的尝试在全世界都很少见。
桑塔马拉说，芬兰法律没有特别要求机动车必须有驾驶员，这使得无人驾驶公交车在真实环境中试运行成为可能。今年7月15日，芬兰交通安全局批准了无人驾驶公交车在芬兰上路。
这次测试项目还为芬兰各界提供了开放性研究平台，企业可利用这一平台针对无人驾驶车辆开发新的产品和服务。诺基亚就是参加的企业之一，据芬兰媒体报道，诺基亚计划为无人驾驶车辆提供网络通信保障。
桑塔马拉说，无人驾驶公交车不会在短时间内取代传统公共交通，但是它们“可以成为公共交通的补充”。
不久后，无人驾驶公交车将继续前往另外两个芬兰主要城市——埃斯波和坦佩雷进行测试。北欧冬季寒冷，路况复杂，这种公交车将面临更严峻的考验。
