"In automatic driving, please keep the distance." "Please pay attention to reversing, please pay attention to reversing."
Small and exquisite bread body, a classic black and white color scheme, four "eyes" with six eyes, and soft voice broadcast. At 9: 00 a.m. on March 28th, two brand-new unmanned express delivery vehicles caught people’s attention in Jitu Express Distribution Center of Xinpu Wisdom Logistics Park in Haizhou District.
"Don’t look at it small, there are still many couriers that can be loaded." Hu Jing, the person in charge of the city polar rabbit express, told the author that as a "new employee" of polar rabbit express, this unmanned express car has a full cargo space of 5 cubic meters, and can carry 600 to 800 express parcels. After being fully charged, it can travel 150 kilometers, and the speed is controlled at 30 kilometers per hour, and it can make multiple trips between the express sorting center and the express post.
"Please enter the verification code." The staff scanned the code on the mobile phone to enter the applet, entered the instruction, the side door of the courier car opened, and the courier brother successively loaded the courier package into the carriage. After a series of operations, such as closing the door, scanning the code, and setting the delivery route through software, two unmanned express vehicles slowly hit the road and headed for the express post station of Tongke HSBC International and Julong Garden in the city.
On the road, Ye Fei, the head of Lianyungang area of Jiushi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., an unmanned express car manufacturer, said: "This car has a high-tech content, not only a camera, but also a pair of’ laser eyes’, and its vision is very good." The car is equipped with not only 11 cameras, but also laser radar. They are just like eyes, so that vehicles can clearly identify traffic lights and lanes and avoid roadblocks, pedestrians and vehicles during driving. At the same time, the staff can monitor the driving situation of vehicles on the road in real time on the mobile phone.
After 40 minutes, the unmanned express car stopped firmly in front of the Tongke HSBC International Express Station, and Tan Weifei, the person in charge of the station, had already waited in front of the door. "It will automatically call me before it leaves and call me when it arrives." Tan Weifei said as he took out his mobile phone and scanned the code, opened the carriage and unloaded the express parcel. "In the past, express mail arrived at various communities from the distribution center, relying on couriers to run around on the road, which was not only costly, but also risky. The use of unmanned express vehicles reduces the risk links on the road and saves labor costs. "
"The application of intelligent new scenes of unmanned express vehicles has reduced transportation costs and improved transportation efficiency. At present, it seems that it will also effectively solve the problems of insufficient pieces and high transportation costs in the rural express delivery market. " Tu Jun, deputy director of Haizhou Postal Administration, said, "In the next step, we will continue to support enterprises to use unmanned vehicles and even drones to enrich express delivery methods, continuously enhance the scientific and technological elements of the express delivery industry, focus on strengthening the infrastructure of village-level delivery logistics, and promote unmanned express vehicles to enter the village. We will use new technologies to promote the high-quality development of the express delivery industry in our city and provide better delivery services for the people."
