CPT330B Redesign Long-haul Trucking Logistic - Autonomous Driving L3 from Motorway to City

1-1 Sensor Detection in Vehicle

Sensors are key components to make a vehicle driverless. The three primary autonomous vehicle sensors are camera, radar and lidar, enable an autonomous vehicle to visualize its surroundings and detect objects. Cars today are fitted with a growing number of environmental sensors that perform a multitude of tasks. The control system integrated sensors for autonomous vehicle encompasses three parts: perception, decision and execution.

Before Installing Sensors

Advances in sensor technology and processing techniques, combined with improved hardware, make real-time fusion of data possible. 7STARLAKE’s CPT330B features in 12 x LAN and 8 x CAN bus, providing multi connections to make sensor fusion realize in fleet management. 12 x LAN port can integrated 12 unit of sensors, such as 4 x 3D LiDAR, 6 x cameras, and 2 x mmWave Radars. Sensors provide target tracking, event description, and gather other information to detect and control the specific distance between trucks, help to avoid obstacles on road, and make decision. With excellent sensors connection, CPT330B plays a critical role in sensor fusion framework.

2-1 What is Truck Platooning?

Truck platooning links up two or more trucks; it is using V2V wireless communication and automated driving support system to connect the braking and acceleration between the trucks. These trucks automatically maintain in a set with specified gaps between them. With LiDAR sensors to detect the light, visual information collecting by cameras, radars to detect and monitor objects, the sensor fusion of the truck is able to communicate between each truck.

3-1 Powerful CPU and GPU

Truck platooning relies on sensors, complex algorithms, powerful processors, and outstanding GPU to gather and analyze the data in order to send instructions to the truck’s actuators. CPT330B is driven by Gen Intel 9th Gen. Coffee Lake-R i7-9700 processor features with 8 cores, max turbo frequency up to 3.8 GHz, and TDP 35W.

CPT330B supports NVIDIA Quadro RTX A4000 and GTX 1660S GPU. RTX A4000 features with 6144 CUDA cores, and includes 48 RT Cores to accelerate photorealistic ray-traced rendering up to 2x faster than the previous generation. The RTX A4000 also features a power-efficient with TDP 140W. NVIDIA GTX1660S GPU features with 1408 CUDA cores; typical applications include image processing, video stabilization, filtering, terrain analytics, 3D visualization of Geospatial data, object recognition and tracking and provides workstation-grade AI performance. 

AI and 7STARLAKE CPT330B provides 12 x LAN and 8 CAN bus for in-vehicle system management, making the sensor fusion capable in fleet management; 12 x LAN port can integrated 12 unit of sensors, such as 4 x 3D LiDAR, 6 x cameras, and 2 x mmWave Radar, CPT330B plays a critical role in sensor fusion framework. For example, in Truck Platooning System, hardware sensors and an interface are installed or plugged into every vehicle to detect and track moving objects.
