Chongqing, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) — A new integrated intelligent driving laboratory, capable of simultaneously simulating real vehicles, dynamic road traffic, and climate conditions, recently opened in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

As reported by China Media Group, this lab, covering over 5,000 square meters, is the world's first full-cycle testing facility integrating simulation of vehicle control, rain, fog, and lighting conditions, as well as complex traffic flows. This allows for the creation of a more realistic and effective intelligent driving testing system.

According to available information, the laboratory will provide comprehensive safety validation for vehicles with intelligent driving systems prior to mass production, covering both extreme and realistic scenarios. The goal is to strengthen the technological foundation and improve the safety of future intelligent mobility, as well as support the high-quality development of the intelligent vehicle industry.

It's worth noting that this laboratory developed the first intelligent towing system, a mechanism capable of towing vehicles at speeds of up to 130 km/h, exceeding the industry standard of 100 km/h. This allows for the precise simulation of road user behavior, including scenarios involving the sudden appearance of pedestrians.

In addition, the lab is equipped with an environmentally-responsive system that continuously adjusts rain, fog, and lighting conditions to realistically recreate dynamic weather changes.

Another breakthrough is the real-time integration of the physical environment and complex traffic flows. Here, real vehicles can instantly interact with simulated traffic in realistic conditions, solving the fragmentation problem typical of traditional laboratory testing.

As a reminder, Chinese authorities have identified at least 20 cities and urban clusters as pilot zones for the implementation of vehicle-road-cloud integration for intelligent connected vehicles. -0-
