Create multiple solutions
Wanji technology intelligent networking products mainly include V2X communication terminals, roadside intelligent base stations and intelligent networking cloud control platforms. Zhai Jun said: "At present, the intelligent network connection is still in the stage of technical discussion and practical exploration, and Wanji Technology actively participates in the construction of the national intelligent network connection demonstration pilot zone."
Based on V2X roadside communication terminals, V2X vehicle communication terminals, roadside intelligent base stations and other products, Wanji Technology has formed a number of solutions in intelligent networking, and has successively participated in the construction of demonstration pilot areas of 5G vehicle networking projects such as Chongqing Liangjiang New District, xiong'an new area high-speed railway station and Suzhou High-speed Railway New Town. Zhai Jun said, "Wanji Technology's comprehensive urban and intercity solutions are constantly landing in the demonstration area to help relevant government departments solve practical application problems."
In the 5G vehicle-road cooperation project of Suzhou High-speed Railway New Town, Wanji Technology provides roadside perception and digital intermediate platform system, which provides accurate and real-time information for autonomous driving through 5G network, and opens up the cooperation channel in Lu Yun, effectively solving the problems of over-the-horizon and non-line-of-sight perception in bicycle intelligence.
Zhai Jun said: "Realizing autonomous driving is the ultimate goal of intelligent network. In the early days when autonomous driving and the Internet of Everything were not industrialized, Wanji Technology adopted advanced car networking technology to solve the pain points faced by smart high-speed and smart cities. "
According to reports, in the past two years, Wanji Technology has completed the digital transformation of Guangzhou Guangming Qifu Tunnel and the West Han Expressway Qinling Tunnel respectively. The intelligent tunnel scheme adopts centimeter-level high-precision map acquisition and three-dimensional modeling technology. Through multi-dimensional perception fusion technology, a digital double tunnel platform is constructed to realize graphical traffic flow perception and global monitoring, and improve the safety and efficiency of tunnel traffic.
Help the development of autonomous driving technology
"Vehicle-road coordination will help to achieve autonomous driving, when all vehicles can quickly transmit surrounding information and make quick and intelligent decisions." Zhai Jun said, "At present, vehicle-road coordination is in the primary stage, and the external perception and decision-making ability of self-driving vehicles needs to be improved. Bicycle intelligence and bicycle road develop in parallel. Bicycle intelligence solves 90% of the problems, and the remaining 10% of the external environment data needs the auxiliary support of vehicle-road coordination, forming the advanced automatic driving technology of L4 and L5. "
It is understood that Wanji Technology's intelligent vehicle infrastructure collaborative system solution adopts wireless communication and next-generation Internet technology to fully realize the dynamic real-time information interaction between vehicles and roads. Vehicle-mounted lidar is the premise of realizing advanced automatic driving. Zhai Jun said that in the L3 autonomous driving era, lidar will be indispensable.
As the core component of the Internet of Everything, the key technology of lidar is still facing a breakthrough. Zhai Jun said that in order to realize L4-level automatic driving, besides lidar, it is also necessary to solve technical problems such as decision-making ability and computing ability, especially the computing ability of the chip.
According to the data, in the field of vehicle-mounted lidar, Wanji Technology has carried out multi-technology route layout of machinery, MEMS and OPA (Frontier Solid-State Lidar).
Zhai Jun said frankly that in the face of the tight supply of global chips, Wanji Technology made a good reserve, ensured the sufficient supply of raw materials for chip production, and accelerated the research and development of independent OPA chips. With the improvement of industrialization capacity and efficiency, the price of OPA will fall below 1,000 yuan in the future.
Increase investment in research and development
Technology research and development needs a lot of investment. According to the financial report data, from 20 18 to 2020 and the first three quarters of 20021year, the R&D expenses of Wanji Technology were RMB 86 million,146 million,154 million and144 respectively.
In the first half of 20021,Wanji Technology continued to increase its R&D investment in new business directions such as laser radar and intelligent network connection. According to Zhai Jun, after years of continuous R&D investment, the company has made a lot of technological innovations and built independent core intellectual property systems in the fields of intelligent networking, special short-distance communication and laser radar.
Zhai Jun said: "The company has mastered the core technologies such as optical collimation, laser driving, optical receiving and optical scanning, obtained 258 patents related to laser technology, and formed a series of products such as laser radar for transportation based on independent technology." In the first half of 20021,the company's revenue from laser products business was 46 186400 yuan, up1/6.06% year-on-year.
At present, Wanji Technology has five business divisions with more than 800 R&D personnel, nearly 40% of whom are laser radar R&D personnel. Zhai Jun said, "I hope that our independently developed OPA can be mass-produced in 2025, when the autonomous driving technology can reach L4 level."
