The Wuhan Intelligent Connected Vehicle Testing Service Platform was unveiled on April 12 in Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ).
Su Ruiqi, manager of Wuhan Da'an Technology's Junshan Branch, said that this state-of-the-art platform integrates technology R&D, testing verification, and industry services, offering comprehensive technical support for automotive companies.
Through its core modules, including a virtual simulation lab, closed testing grounds, and open road test database, the platform aims to shorten R&D cycles, reduce costs, and accelerate product upgrades. The testing site spans 1,312 mu (87.47 hectares) and includes nine major test scenarios. These encompass a high-speed testing area, urban road simulation, highway ramp simulation, and extreme environment testing zones.
The facility also features four specialized laboratories for intelligent driving, vehicle-road collaboration, information security, and simulation. It boasts Central China's first F2-grade international racetrack, providing a professional venue for extreme vehicle performance testing. Equipped with high-precision sensors and advanced driving robots, the platform can conduct all pilot testing projects for intelligent connected vehicles.
Su highlighted the platform's capabilities, noting that the extreme environment testing area can simulate weather conditions such as wind, rain, and lightning. Vehicles can transition from sunny skies to torrential downpours in seconds, allowing companies to assess sensor performance, intelligent driving algorithm adaptability, and communication system stability in adverse conditions.
