Skyshuttle fills void in autonomous infrastructure

The Chongqing SkyShuttle Demonstration Line project opened earlier this year in Bishan District following a total investment of 1.8 billion yuan.

SkyShuttle (Yunba) is the first driverless monorail system of its kind worldwide. It now operates between Bishan High-Speed Railway Station and Metro Line 1, with 15.4 km of track and 15 elevated stations en route.

BYD Group spent seven years and 10 billion yuan building a three-dimensional intelligent transportation system using 100% independent intellectual property rights and zero occupation of public roads.

This new addition to public transport in Bishan fills the local void in medium and small-volume rail transport and enjoys the qualities of intelligence, environmental friendliness, and economy.

It also provides an effective supplement to the urban public network in Chongqing. It expands capacity into the outer reaches of the urban area, provides solutions to traffic congestion, and further improves the quality of life.

Bishan SkyShuttle Demonstration Line is equipped with a fully automatic driverless system to achieve the highest level of autonomous operation worldwide. Facial recognition allows passengers to enter the station without traditional procedures, making for an intelligent, convenient, and efficient travel experience.

The success achieved by Skyshuttle will serve as a model for other cities worldwide to follow, as smart autonomous transit provides a seamless passenger experience throughout journeys from stations, information, boarding, and payment.
