What does a star next to the number 1 on a Mercedes dashboard mean?
1 Answers
A star next to the number 1 on a Mercedes dashboard indicates a custom driving mode. Introduction to Autonomous Driving: The autonomous driving system employs advanced communication, computer, network, and control technologies to achieve real-time and continuous control over trains. Using modern communication methods, it directly interfaces with trains, enabling bidirectional data communication between the train and ground. This system features fast transmission speeds and large data capacity, allowing following trains and control centers to promptly obtain the exact position of the leading train. This enhances operational flexibility, improves control effectiveness, and better meets the requirements of train autonomous driving. Autonomous Driving Functions: The primary functions of the autonomous driving system include bidirectional information transmission between ground and train, as well as comprehensive and emergency handling of operational organization. The ground-train information transmission channel is a crucial component of the automatic train operation control system. The onboard equipment of the automatic control system operates solely based on driving control commands received from the ground control center, continuously monitoring the train's actual speed against the ground-permitted speed instructions. If the train speed exceeds the ground speed limit, the onboard equipment will apply braking to ensure operational safety.
