Roadside sensor network deployment based on vehicle-infrastructure cooperative intelligent driving

Abstract

The sensor network for intelligent roadways, comprised of devices like cameras, laser radars, millimeter-wave radars, and weather stations, is an integral part of the roadside digital infrastructure. One of the main challenges in building intelligent highway sensor networks is to create a controllable, manageable, and useable sensor network with multi-modal sensors deployed on highways. This network should not only facilitate global and scene sensing but also enable collaborative sensing and control functions. Therefore, this study aims to define the concept, main features, and technical connotation of Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperative Intelligent Driving (VICID). It also outlines the development of a cloud-native cloud control platform for intelligent roadways and refines the technology requirements and indices. This platform is designed to support open services for innovative applications, such as addressing bottlenecks, managing roadworks zones, and implementing dynamic lane assignments for automated driving. Lastly, we introduce Beijing's highway pilot projects, which can serve as a guide and reference for designing and constructing sensor network equipment for intelligent roadways in China, as well as for key technology research and development.
