Hanoi approves 24-month autonomous vehicle trial

autonomous vehicles robotaxi smart transportation Phenikaa-X Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park

The Hanoi municipal administration has approved a 24-month controlled trial for an intelligent autonomous transportation system developed by Phenikaa-X JSC. The project will test four categories of vehicles: autonomous buses, robotaxis, automated cleaning robots, and delivery robots.

Testing will take place at the Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park and the Hoa Lac campus of Vietnam National University-Hanoi. In the Hi-Tech Park, robotaxis and delivery robots will operate on an 11.5km network, while the university campus will feature a 2.8km route for autonomous buses and other robots. Vehicles will operate under daylight conditions between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm, with a maximum speed of 40 km/h.

The technology integrates LiDAR, cameras, high-definition 2D/3D digital maps, high-precision GPS, and AI algorithms including machine learning and deep learning. The primary objectives are to verify the safety, reliability, and readiness of autonomous vehicles in real-world conditions, assess user experience, and gather data to establish technical standards and regulatory frameworks for autonomous transport in Vietnam. This trial is not a commercial transport service and will not collect passenger fees.
