Moscow-St. Petersburg. The unmanned StarLine tractor headed towards the capital along the M11 "Neva" highway, in the trailer of the unmanned vehicle there were more than 10 tons of the company's products - StarLine security and telematics equipment. A test driver was present in the vehicle to monitor the movement throughout the entire route.
The highly automated vehicle belgium whatsapp resource moved along the route task, using promising technologies in the field of unmanned driving: artificial intelligence, neural networks, as well as a unique development of St. Petersburg scientists from NPO StarLine - a digital model of the road, that is, a special map for local maneuvering along the route, choosing a lane, speed, receiving information about road signs and restrictions. To move along the highway in a highly automated mode, recognize other road users, predict their behavior and localize the car in space, the unmanned vehicle uses a number of special sensors: GNSS-RTK receiver, lidars, video cameras, inertial sensors. All data is processed by several computers with their own software installed in the cars.
class of transport, different safety requirements, high speeds and, as a result, high requirements for detection and recognition of objects at a greater distance. This is a more complex task for developers, and therefore more interesting. Now is a very important time for our country, a time when we need to build up scientific and technical potential. This is exactly what we are working on, setting scientific tasks for young engineers that help develop our country," notes Ilya Nikiforov, head of the development department of NPO StarLine.
The StarLine driverless car is a research and development project in which a team of NPO StarLine development engineers is creating a universal platform that allows integrating elements of a driverless car into virtually any modern vehicle.
Each type of unmanned transport has specific tasks during development and implementation. For example, developers of unmanned systems all over the world often note that the most difficult task is predicting the behavior of other road users. This is when the car classifies all the objects detected around itself and predicts their possible trajectories. The main difference between driving in the city and driving on a country road is precisely in this area. In the city, the variety of objects is great, and the correctness of predicting their behavior is one of the main tasks. Now the team of research engineers of NPO StarLine is focused on the tractor, therefore, it is engaged in tasks specific to driving on a high-speed highway, such as long-range detection, positioning with an unstable flow of RTK corrections, building a map taking into account the curvature of the earth's surface, and so on.
"In order to achieve truly significant, breakthrough results, as noted by the President of the Russian Federation Putin V.V., not only the state, but also private business should consider the development of science as one of its most important priorities. Attract scientists, open their own research departments, laboratories.
This is exactly what our company does: by investing in new technologies, we strive to increase the strength of Russian applied science, supporting and developing young talented engineers for the glory of the Fatherland. We form scientific and technical potential, create promising jobs, because we understand our responsibility to the entire scientific community and our Motherland, its residents, our children and grandchildren.
We are confident that healthy competition and close cooperation between Russian developers of unmanned technologies will allow us to create a useful intellectual product in a short time and bring the Russian transport industry to a new technological level,” said Temur Asrorovich Aminjanov, President of NPO StarLine.
