The first unrestricted highway in China is coming, which can automatically deduct fees, and wireless charging will be opened in the future
If you're someone who loves to drive, you'll be yearning for Germany's speed-unlimited motorways. There, you can press the gas pedal and enjoy the thrill of speeding without fear of fines or congestion. However, you may not know that China is also about to have its own unrestricted highway, and there are many other highlights of this highway, let's take a look together.
This expressway is the Hangzhou-Shaoyong Expressway, which is the second expressway connecting Hangzhou and Ningbo, with a total length of 161 kilometers and a two-way 6-lane design. It is reported that this highway will be opened to traffic in 2022, and the maximum speed limit at the initial stage of opening is 150km/h, and with the completion of subsequent technical improvement tests, it will be opened without speed limit.
So why is there no speed limit on this highway? There are several main reasons:
- First of all, the design and construction of this highway are very advanced and scientific. It takes the form of a viaduct that passes under Xiaoshan International Airport through Tunnel 12.
It has a smooth and spacious road surface, clear lanes, and no accident-prone sections such as sharp turns, steep slopes, and narrow corners3. It is also equipped with an IoT perception and early warning system, which can monitor and transmit information such as road conditions, weather, and events ahead in real time, reminding drivers to pay attention to safety12.
- Second, the highway will build a human, vehicle, and road coordination system, and will fully support autonomous driving in the future12. It communicates with the on-board autonomous driving system through roadside equipment to provide road environmental information services for autonomous vehicles12. In this way, autonomous vehicles can adjust their driving status based on real-time data to maintain a safe distance and a reasonable speed3.
At the same time, AI can also optimize the management and scheduling of traffic flow3.
- Finally, the highway will also be combined with wireless charging technology to enable charging while driving12. Provide charging services for electric vehicles through solar power generation, road photovoltaic power generation, etc.12. In the future, technologies such as electromagnetic induction will be used to wirelessly charge electric vehicles while driving12. In this way, electric vehicles do not have to worry about range3.
In addition to the unlimited speed limit, this highway has another feature, and that is that there are no toll booths12. It uses a free-flow charging method12. Cameras, sensors, and other devices are installed on highways to record vehicle traffic conditions, and deductions are implemented12.
This eliminates the need for vehicles to stop and queue, saving time and fuel consumption3.
With an investment of 31.443 billion yuan12, this expressway is a smart highway demonstration project in Zhejiang Province12. Its construction and operation will provide strong support and demonstration for the mainland's transportation development, and will also bring a new travel experience and services to the majority of drivers
Article Summary:
China's first unrestricted expressway, Hangzhou Shaoyong Expressway, will be opened to traffic in 2022, which can not only allow drivers to enjoy the thrill of galloping, but also realize innovative functions such as automatic driving, wireless charging, and intelligent transportation, and is a highway with a great sense of technology and future.
