It can access one 8M front-view camera, four 2M side-view cameras, one 2M rear-view camera, four 2M surround-view cameras, one DMS camera, five millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. It is known that in the fourth quarter of 2022, Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology realized single-lane centering and cruising, lever-activated lane changing, memory parking (1st version), DMS, AVM and other functions in the B Sample of YDU2.0 Pro. In 2023, YDU2.0 Pro upgraded the algorithm and software system to "point-to-point navigation assist system NOA" and "upgraded memory parking system HPA". In June, Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology won the “Top10 Local Suppliers of Smart Driving Domain Controller in 2023" award conferred by GaoGong Intelligent Vehicle Research Institute by virtue of it sexcellent power of intelligent driving products and abundant mass production capability of intelligent driving products.

Navigate on Autopilot(NOA) supports automatic point-to-point driving on expressways and urban high-speed roads in accordance with the preset navigation routes, including automatically going on and off ramps, automatically switching to the fast lane after entering the main road, automatically adjusting the speed according to lane speed limit and surrounding vehicle speeds, automatically changing lane to overtake, avoiding large vehicles, changing lane to steer clear of road blocks, etc. It alleviates the driving fatigue by providing driving assistance in the whole journey. In order to ensure driving safety and enhance the experience of assisted driving, the R&D team of Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology has developed a human-machine co-driving system. The system is based on a visual DMS and a hands-off detection system, both of which closely monitor whether the driver is fulfilling his/her main duties and paying attention to the road conditions. In addition, There are various styles of the voice prompt, some simple and some vivid. The user can set up the style they like and then it will be applied based on the decision made by the intelligent system. So that even a novice driver could feel no pressure on the road.

In 2022, Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology HPA has already realized such functions as multi-route memory, automatic tracking parking, cross-floor parking, pedestrian and vehicle avoidance, and vehicle summoning, etc. The new upgraded version, released in the second quarter of 2023, enhances the intelligence of this system, which can recognize parking lot lane lines, road kerbs and other information, allowing it to construct detailed road structures within the parking lot. It can also take a detour when there is an obstacle ahead, and sense information such as road surface signs and parking space numbers. All of these have greatly enhanced the robustness of mapping and positioning, while supporting more intelligent decision-making and planning.

Architecture of Intelligent Connection Technology 's Intelligent Driving Software

YDU2.0 Pro is currently built on Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology's self-developed middleware, which decouples the upper-layer algorithm/functional logic from the underlying hardware, realizing such functions as communication management, execution management, time synchronization, unified log service, data abstraction component, security monitoring component, data return component, OTA, etc. Meanwhile, YDU2.0 Pro integrates mantle communication middleware and adopts lockless zero-copy distributed communication and other technologies to realize low-latency and high-throughput communication capability. Compared to the previous solution, it reduces CPU load by 180%, and communication latency decreases from the hundred-microsecond level to the microsecond level. In terms of software security, Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology's intelligent driving products adhere to the strict development process that complies with the functional safety standards and information security standards. The security of the middleware is ensured through the access control mechanism, data integrity checking, and anti-information security attack module.

The high-speed NOA and HPA presented in the video are 100% developed by Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology in terms of perception fusion, parking perception, map-based positioning, planning and control algorithms, as well as DMS and AVM. In terms of the popular navigation-assisted driving function (NOA), Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology's product is different from the ordinary ADAS: it is more intelligent and has stronger scene generalization ability. This is because the NOA system, through reasonably allocating the weights of decision-making and planning, not only achieves the driving function coverage of regular road scenarios but also realizes the adaptive coverage of edge scenarios. This mean sit doesn't need to enumerate and specially process various edge scenarios. Instead, it automatically executes such maneuvers as changing lanes, yielding to other vehicles, following the preceding vehicle, cruising, overtaking, and avoiding large vehicles through the planning capability of the algorithm itself, thereby improving the coverage efficiency of general scenarios.

Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology's APA1.0 system has been mass-produced on Yixun Max and Haoji of Dongfeng Aeolus Company in 2022, and has won numerous awards in industry competitions. The parking space search function adopts a fusion recognition algorithm that combines vision and radar, and accurately detects the location of parking spaces through multi-frame data. It also comes with the ability to detect obstacles, wheel blocks, and ground locks within the parking space. The system can also visually identify outdoor parking spaces on brick floors. The product supports fast parking in perpendicular parking spaces, roadside parallel parking spaces and angle parking spaces, as well as remote control parking andother functions. It is reported that APA1.0 is undergoing adaptation for a large off-road vehicle, and will be mass-produced in the near future.

Recently, Lan-you Intelligent Connection Technology is developing APA2.0, which will introduce a new perception module and a planning module, so that its ability to adapt to various scenarios and vehicle sizes will be greatly enhanced.

In the HPA, point cloud and semantic methods are used for the recording and anti-positioning of the cruising map. It has the ability to build maps while the vehicle is moving. It can automatically identify the types of obstacles during the cruise and adopt strategies such as stopping the vehicle or taking a detour. It also supports the cruise on routes with uphill and downhill sections.
