在新加坡樟宜机场,来自中国的无人驾驶车队已经驶入空侧运营。英国费利克斯托港则准备迎来第三次采购:交付完成后,西井科技的Q-Truck自动驾驶卡车将达到100辆。再往南,在西澳大利亚Kalgoorlie金矿区,易控智驾把系统装进6辆Komatsu HD1500,这些车辆已在Havana Pit进行白班无安全员作业,并于8月完成首次无人驾驶夜班。机场、港口、矿山,三个真实生产现场出现了同一种变化:中国L4开始进入海外产业体系。
At Singapore Changi Airport, a fleet of autonomous vehicles from China has entered airside operations. The Port of Felixstowe in the UK is preparing for its third purchase: once delivery is complete, Westwell’s Q-Truck autonomous trucks will number 100 vehicles. Farther south, in the Kalgoorlie gold-mining area of Western Australia, EACON has installed its system in 6 Komatsu HD1500 trucks. The vehicles are already operating without safety drivers on day shifts at Havana Pit and completed their first driverless night shift in August. Airports, ports and mines—three real production sites—are seeing the same shift: China’s L4 systems are beginning to enter overseas industrial systems.
机场看似封闭、低速、路线固定,实际却没有城市道路那样清晰的红绿灯和标准化路权信号。飞机进出机位时,地勤人员的旗语、手势和航空器状态都要被无人车理解,暴雪、结冰、大雾和沙尘还会增加感知难度。驭势科技联合创始人、董事长兼CEO吴甘沙介绍,在中国西北某主要国际机场,项目实施曾耗时约3年;到樟宜机场缩短至约1.5年,香港国际机场不同阶段又从约2年缩短至约半年。时间变短,说明经验正在积累,但还不能证明机场L4已经成为标准化产品。
Airports may appear enclosed, low-speed and based on fixed routes, but in practice they do not have traffic lights and standardized right-of-way signals as clear as those on urban roads. When aircraft enter or leave parking stands, autonomous vehicles must understand ground crew flag signals, gestures and aircraft status. Snowstorms, ice, heavy fog and dust storms also increase the sensing challenge. Gan Sha Wu, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Uisee Technology, said that implementing a project at a major international airport in northwest China once took about three years. At Changi Airport, the timeline was reduced to about 1.5 years, while at Hong Kong International Airport it fell from about two years at different stages to about six months. The shorter timelines show that experience is accumulating, but they do not yet prove that airport L4 has become a standardized product.
港口的难点不是集装箱标准,而是集装箱背后的生产节拍。岸桥、无人集卡、堆场和场桥必须连续衔接,车来早了会排队,来晚了岸桥就要等车。费利克斯托港扩大车队的同时,还将增加第二座自动换电站,并用私有5G网络连接车辆、控制系统和码头设施。可不同港口仍有各自的码头操作系统、道路布局、通信网络和作业流程,传统码头也不可能为无人驾驶推倒重来。西井能否从卖车进一步变成提供可接入不同码头的自动化系统,才是这100辆车之外的看点。
The challenge at ports is not container standardization, but the production rhythm behind the containers. Quay cranes, autonomous container trucks, yards and yard cranes must connect continuously: if a vehicle arrives early, it queues; if it arrives late, the quay crane has to wait. As it expands the fleet at Felixstowe, Westwell will also add a second automated battery-swapping station and use a private 5G network to connect vehicles, control systems and terminal facilities. But ports still have their own terminal operating systems, road layouts, communications networks and operating processes, and conventional terminals cannot be rebuilt from scratch for autonomous driving. Whether Westwell can move beyond selling vehicles to provide an automation system that can connect to different terminals is the key point to watch beyond these 100 vehicles.
矿山面对的则是设备品牌边界。Caterpillar、Komatsu等设备巨头早已建立无人运输系统,覆盖矿卡、自动驾驶、售后服务和客户体系。易控智驾选择把自己的系统装进既有的Komatsu矿卡,意味着矿企或许可以分别选择设备和L4方案;但进入澳大利亚仍需完成线控系统设计验证、系统集成、本地功能验证和安全测试,国内超过1亿公里的无人驾驶经验并不能免除这些工作。6辆Komatsu HD1500目前更适合被看作一次重要验证,而不是规模化证明。
Mines, meanwhile, face the boundaries between equipment brands. Equipment giants such as Caterpillar and Komatsu have long established autonomous haulage systems covering mining trucks, autonomous driving, after-sales service and customer networks. EACON chose to install its system in existing Komatsu mining trucks, which means mining companies may be able to choose their equipment and L4 solution separately. But entering Australia still requires validation of the drive-by-wire system design, system integration, local functions and safety testing. More than 100 million kilometers of autonomous-driving experience in China cannot eliminate this work. The 6 Komatsu HD1500 trucks are currently better viewed as an important validation than as proof of large-scale deployment.
具体来说,机场客户首先可能获得更短的部署周期,港口获得扩大无人车队并连接能源与调度系统的路径,矿企则看到在既有设备上引入第三方自动驾驶能力的可能。对中国企业而言,真正的商业进展不是新增一个海外项目,而是第二个机场、港口或矿山能否更快、更少依赖驻场工程师地完成适配。今天可以确认的是,海外通道已经打开;还不能确认的是,中国L4是否已经形成一套成熟的全球化方案。
Specifically, airport customers may first gain shorter deployment cycles, ports may gain a path to expanding autonomous fleets and connecting energy and dispatch systems, and mining companies may see the possibility of introducing third-party autonomous-driving capabilities onto existing equipment. For Chinese companies, real commercial progress is not the addition of another overseas project, but whether the second airport, port or mine can be adapted faster and with less reliance on on-site engineers. What can be confirmed today is that the overseas channel is open; what cannot yet be confirmed is whether China’s L4 industry has already developed a mature global solution.
