[0052] S1. Initialization and self-test: At startup, both control systems perform self-tests simultaneously to ensure that all hardware and software functions can operate normally;

[0053] S2. Normal operation: In normal operation, the main control system 11 is responsible for the form control of the driverless minibus, and the backup control system 12 is in standby mode. The main control system 11 drives the main three-phase motor 1131 through the main motor drive unit 1132 and the main motor control unit 1133 to operate, thereby realizing the normal operation of the driverless minibus.

8. A control method for a safety redundancy system of an unmanned minibus according to claims 1-7, comprising the following steps: S1. Initialization and self-test: At startup, both control systems perform self-tests simultaneously to ensure that all hardware and software functions can operate normally; S2. Normal operation: In the normal operation state, the main control system (11) is responsible for the form control of the driverless minibus, and the backup control system (12) is in the standby state. The main control system (11) drives the main three-phase motor (1131) to operate through the main motor drive unit (1132) and the main motor control unit (1133), thereby realizing the normal operation of the driverless minibus. At the same time, the status information of the minibus is collected through the main monitoring module (118); S3. Fault detection and switching: When a fault occurs in the main control system (11) or the main three-phase motor (1131) controlled by it, the main fault warning module (119) will send a warning message to the main user interface (120) and the data processing system (2). At this time, after receiving the abnormal information, the abnormal alarm module (22) of the data processing system (2) will directly send an abnormal alarm, trigger the switching logic, and immediately start the switching control module (23). At this time, the backup control system (12) immediately takes over the control right, and the backup control system (12) activates the corresponding backup three-phase motor (1231) to continue to take over the driving control of the minibus. S4. Fault diagnosis and repair: When the backup control system (12) takes over the control of the minibus, the data preprocessing module (24) will first preprocess the abnormal data and compare it with the original data, and analyze the specific cause of the fault through the fault analysis and diagnosis module (26). Finally, the fault cause is sent to the main user interface (120) and the backup user interface (130) through the data sending module (28) for synchronous display. At the same time, the fault cause is immediately repaired through the fault repair module (27). If the fault can be repaired immediately, the backup control system (12) will try to restore the operation of the main control system (11) and the main three-phase motor (1131). If the fault cannot be repaired immediately, the backup control system (12) will maintain the control state until the minibus is safely docked after the work is completed.
