The 1st smart expressway in Shaoxing officially launched!

On March 19, 2022, the 1st smart expressway in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province - Yuyue Expressway was officially launched. The project is a key project for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and an important part of the Shaoxing Smart traffic network. At the same time, it is also the 1st smart expressway in China that supports highly autonomous driving. It has a complete digital system that can intelligently manage autonomous vehicles.
 

The expressway has a total length of 20.9 kilometers with a total investment of 6.238 billion RMB. It has five modules including "Building Information Modeling (BIM),Intelligence measure system (IMS), Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), Intelilgent Connected Vehicle(ICV), and Intelligent Lighting System(ILS)".
