With the continuous clarification of the demand for intelligent ships and the ongoing development of technology, international organizations, regional and national maritime regulatory agencies, port and shipping enterprises, universities, and new information industry teams have participated in the research and development of intelligent ships in different roles, achieving cross-domain advantages integration.

5G Vehicle Gateway Empowers Unmanned Vessel Application Case

Extensive collaboration has achieved significant results in the formulation of regulations, technology development, and application demonstrations. The development of unmanned ship-related fields in the future will see gradual deepening of technological maturity and expanding application scope, especially in deep-sea surveys and engineering fields. Unmanned ships will gradually replace some regular observation, monitoring, and support technologies, transforming into a conventional means of marine surveys and engineering. At the same time, the system will possess completely independent and comprehensive operational capabilities, bringing revolutionary changes to traditional marine operations.

System Description and Networking Introduction

5g Vehicle Gateway

01 Domain Control System

Obtain relevant data from the surrounding environment through external sensors (lidar, cameras, GNSS, etc.), serving as the basis for domain control to issue operation instructions.

02 Energy System

The energy source for the propulsion system, while also providing power for external devices, ensuring sufficient energy supply.

03 Communication System

Provide low-latency uplink and downlink data channels, ensuring that monitoring and operation instructions can reach the other end in a timely manner. Adopt M12 aviation connector method to ensure interface firmness. Through the CAN port, real-time status information of the energy system can be obtained.

04 Cloud System Part

Real-time view of the current ship’s operating status, ability to issue execution instructions to make the ship follow a newly planned route, and also achieve remote driving, etc.
