Construction of Shenzhen’s first driverless subway line No. 20 started last year and is scheduled to open to traffic by the end of this year. The train has undergone no-load trial operation a few days ago, and Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd. announced that the project will soon pass the completion acceptance, and will open for initial operation at the end of this year.
The Shenzhen Metro said that since the No. 20 train does not require a driver to be on duty, the driver’s cab will be cancelled on the train, and passengers can see the entire subway tunnel in the first and last carriages. The train can also be automatically awakened, automatically departed, accurately stopped and automatically detected. It also has safety protection functions such as obstacle detection, vehicle auxiliary collision avoidance, end wall collision avoidance, and derailment detection. In addition, Line 20 trains pioneered the application of a new train control system based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. Through this system, the train signal transmission does not require a turntable, and the car can directly “talk” to the car, improving the real-time information transmission, shortening the distance between trains, and reducing the time between trains.
Passengers entering and leaving the station can take a “face-swiping” senseless ride on the basis of tapping cards and scanning codes. All stations will be equipped with AI virtual intelligent customer service and new 3D deep visual traffic detection technology. If the station encounters an emergency such as a fire, the station’s intelligent evacuation indication system will also be automatically turned on. All fire emergency sign lights and fire emergency lighting lights in the station can guide passengers the best escape route according to the ground line of the fire, the direction of smoke spread, and the opening of the safety door.
