It canaccess one 8M front-view camera, four 2M side-view cameras, one 2M rear-viewcamera, 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, LanyouIntelligent Connection Technology realized single-lane centering and cruising,lever-activated lane changing, memory parking (1st version), DMS, AVM and otherfunctions in the B Sample of YDU2.0 Pro. In 2023, YDU2.0 Pro upgraded thealgorithm and software system to "point-to-point navigation assist systemNOA" and "upgraded memory parking system HPA". In June, LanyouIntelligent Connection Technology won the “Top10 Local Suppliers of Smart Driving Domain Controller in 2023" awardconferred by GaoGong Intelligent Vehicle Research Institute by virtue of itsexcellent power of intelligent driving products and abundant mass productioncapability of intelligent driving products.

Navigate on Autopilot(NOA) supports automatic point-to-point driving on expressways and urbanhigh-speed roads in accordance with the preset navigation routes, includingautomatically going on and off ramps, automatically switching to the fast lane afterentering the main road, automatically adjusting the speed according to lanespeed limit and surrounding vehicle speeds, automatically changing lane toovertake, avoiding large vehicles, changing lane to steer clear of roadblocks,etc. It alleviates the driving fatigue by providing driving assistance in thewhole journey. In order to ensure driving safety and enhance the experience ofassisted driving, the R&D team of Lanyou Intelligent Connection Technology hasdeveloped a human-machine co-driving system. The system is based on a visualDMS and a hands-off detection system, both of which closely monitor whether thedriver is fulfilling his/her main duties and paying attention to the roadconditions. In addition, There are various styles of the voice prompt, somesimple and some vivid. The user can set up the style they like and then it willbe applied based on the decision made by the intelligent system. So that even anovice driver could feel no pressure on the road.

（This is the version of 1V5R)

In 2022, Lanyou IntelligentConnection Technology HPA has already realized such functions as multi-routememory, automatic tracking parking, cross-floor parking, pedestrian and vehicleavoidance, and vehicle summoning, etc. The new upgraded version, released inthe second quarter of 2023, enhances the intelligence of this system, which canrecognize parking lot lane lines, road kerbs and other information, allowing itto construct detailed road structures within the parking lot. It can also takea detour when there is an obstacle ahead, and sense information such as roadsurface signs and parking space numbers. All of these have greatly enhanced therobustness of mapping and positioning, while supporting more intelligentdecision-making and planning.

Architecture of Intelligent ConnectionTechnology 's Intelligent Driving Software

YDU2.0 Pro is currentlybuilt on Lanyou Intelligent Connection Technology's self-developed middleware,which decouples the upper-layer algorithm/functional logic from the underlyinghardware, realizing such functions as communication management, executionmanagement, time synchronization, unified log service, data abstractioncomponent, security monitoring component, data return component, OTA, etc.Meanwhile, YDU2.0 Pro integrates mantle communication middleware and adoptslockless zero-copy distributed communication and other technologies to realizelow-latency and high-throughput communication capability. Compared to theprevious solution, it reduces CPU load by 180%, and communication latencydecreases from the hundred-microsecond level to the microsecond level. In termsof software security, Lanyou Intelligent Connection Technology's intelligentdriving products adhere to the strict development process that complies withthe functional safety standards and information security standards. Thesecurity of the middleware is ensured through the access control mechanism,data integrity checking, and anti-information security attack module.

The high-speed NOA andHPA presented in the video are 100% developed by Lanyou Intelligent ConnectionTechnology in terms of perception fusion, parking perception, map-basedpositioning, planning and control algorithms, as well as DMS and AVM. In termsof the popular navigation-assisted driving function (NOA), Lanyou IntelligentConnection Technology's product is different from the ordinary ADAS: it is moreintelligent and has stronger scene generalization ability. This is because theNOA system, through reasonably allocating the weights of decision-making andplanning, not only achieves the driving function coverage of regular roadscenarios but also realizes the adaptive coverage of edge scenarios. This meansit doesn't need to enumerate and specially process various edge scenarios.Instead, it automatically executes such maneuvers as changing lanes, yieldingto other vehicles, following the preceding vehicle, cruising, overtaking, andavoiding large vehicles through the planning capability of the algorithmitself, thereby improving the coverage efficiency of general scenarios.

Lanyou IntelligentConnection Technology's APA1.0 system has been mass-produced on Yixun Max and Haoji of DongfengAeolus Company in 2022, and has won numerous awards in industry competitions.The parking space search function adopts a fusion recognition algorithm thatcombines vision and radar, and accurately detects the location of parkingspaces through multi-frame data. It also comes with the ability to detectobstacles, wheel blocks, and ground locks within the parking space. The systemcan also visually identify outdoor parking spaces on brick floors. The productsupports fast parking in perpendicular parking spaces, roadside parallelparking spaces and angle parking spaces, as well as remote control parking andother functions. It is reported that APA1.0 is undergoing adaptation for a largeoff-road vehicle, and will be mass-produced in the near future.

Recently, Lanyou IntelligentConnection Technology is developing APA2.0, which will introduce a newperception module and a planning module, so that its ability to adapt tovarious scenarios and vehicle sizes will be greatly enhanced.

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