On September 28th, the Harvard H6 conducted tests in the National Intelligent Connected Vehicle (Shanghai) Pilot Demonstration Zone, including AEB emergency braking for vehicle-to-person, vehicle-to-vehicle, and phantom vehicle scenarios, LDW lane departure warning/correction, and TJA traffic congestion assistance system. The tests included encountering slow-moving vehicles ahead, lane departure while driving, and sudden pedestrian detection.
The third-generation Haval H6, developed by the Lemon platform, is equipped with the Mobileye EyeQ4 advanced driving assistance chip, 14 radars (including 2 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars), and 6 interchangeable cameras (including 1 single-lens ADAS camera and 1 driving recorder camera). The hardware configuration is complete. However, ultimately it is the actual test results that speak louder than words.
The first project was to test the TJA congestion assistance. When approaching a slow-moving vehicle at a speed of 40 km/h with a vehicle speed of 20 km/h, the Haval H6 emitted an alarm and quickly applied the brakes after detecting the slow-moving vehicle in front.
According to the following car test personnel, unless the vehicle in front is completely stopped, the car will continue to follow at a fixed safe distance even at low speeds.
The second project tested the LDW lane departure warning/correction system. During driving, when the system detects that the vehicle has deviated from the lane, it will first assist in correcting the steering, and if the correction fails, it will sound an alarm and vibrate to remind the driver to take over the vehicle and drive back to the normal lane.
The last item is the AEB emergency braking test, which includes the “ghost head” test, too. When the vehicle is traveling normally at a speed of 30 km/h, the dummy model will appear from the blind spot. The test aims to simulate whether the vehicle can quickly brake to ensure the safety of both parties when suddenly encountering vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, etc. at intersections or poorly visible road sections during driving.
According to official personnel, the Haval H6 can complete emergency braking at a speed of 45 km/h and under good road conditions, and the safe braking distance after braking can be controlled within 0.7-1.2m.
Since it’s operated by professionals in a professional field, many of the projects seem quite “extreme” during testing, but the results show that the Haval H6 handles these tests quite easily.
The system and logic of its ADAS are very similar to another SUV model from the same parent company, Great Wall Motors, that we tested before. It will make its debut in the “42Mark ADAS Comprehensive Evaluation” tonight in the garage. Let’s look forward to the evaluation of the Great Wall ADAS system by 63.
