The automotive industry is a pillar of the national economy. Its intelligent and connected transformation represents a crucial direction for the industry's development, converging core technologies from multiple fields including automotive engineering, electronics, communications, and artificial intelligence. Intelligent vehicles on the road, on one hand, share vehicle control with the driver, and on the other hand, interact with and influence the traffic flow, further intensifying the coupling between humans, vehicles, and other traffic participants. Focusing on this international frontier, and with the goal of establishing a China-standard intelligent and connected cloud control system and the Smart City-Smart Traffic-Smart Vehicle (SCSTSV) systems engineering framework, our team has conducted research on key technologies such as multi-source sensor fusion, high-definition mapping and localization, driving safety risk assessment, collective learning and intelligent decision-making, longitudinal and lateral motion control, and evaluation of autonomous vehicles. This has formed a distinctive technological profile characterized by the "Human-Vehicle-Road" integration and intelligent vehicle technology integrating "Fused Perception, Human-like Decision-making, and Coordinated Control."

Vehicle dynamics and control represent one of the core technologies for vehicle safety. Our research focuses on the dynamic mechanisms of complex mechatronic coupling systems in vehicles and novel technologies for their efficient and safe operational control.

Advanced powertrain systems serve as the foundational and core technology for new energy vehicles and intelligent vehicles. In recent years, our institute has conducted research on cutting-edge powertrain technologies, including internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, pure electric drives, hydrogen and fuel cells, power batteries, and intelligent energy systems, achieving a series of significant outcomes.
