  In order to thoroughly implement the "Outline for Building a Powerful Transportation Country" and "Outline for the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning", to promote the implementation of the "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Transport on Promoting the Construction of New-type Infrastructure in the Transport Field" and "The Ministry of Transport on Promoting the Development of Road Traffic Autonomous Driving Technology The Ministry of Transport has decided to organize pilot applications for autonomous driving and smart shipping for the relevant tasks of the “Guiding Opinions on the Development of Smart Shipping” and the “Action Plan for the Construction of New Infrastructure in the Transport Field (2021-2025)”. Work.

The relevant matters are notified as follows:

  In terms of work objectives, it is required to focus on the development and application of autonomous driving and intelligent shipping technologies, with pilot projects as the starting point, application-oriented, and scenario-supported, through the implementation of a number of pilot projects that are highly integrated with the business and have demonstrative effects. A collection of reproducible cases, condensed into technical guidelines, standard specifications, etc., to promote the in-depth integration of a new generation of information technology and transportation.

  Call for pilot projects.

Encourage multi-party participation in production, education, research, and use, and coordinate the development of pilot projects.

Give priority to supporting user units to take the lead, unite relevant enterprises, universities, scientific research institutes, etc., combine business production actual and technical advantages, and scientifically plan pilot projects in accordance with the clearly defined pilot task areas of the Ministry, under the premise of strengthening risk prevention and control and ensuring safety. Clarify the pilot objectives, main content, implementation cycle, etc., and prepare a pilot project application form.

The provincial transportation authorities, the Yangtze River Navigation Administration, the Pearl River Navigation Administration, and the transportation enterprises managed by the Central Government (hereinafter collectively referred to as the recommended units) combined with the actual conditions of the region, the system, and the unit, and the feasibility and innovation of the pilot project Demonstration, demonstration, etc., after reviewing and confirming the declaration form submitted by the declaration unit, select the best and recommend it to the department in charge of science and technology.

  Determine the pilot project.

The science and technology department of the Ministry of Transport, based on the solicitation and recommendation of the pilot projects, through expert demonstrations, on-site assessments, etc., comprehensively considers the integration of the pilot tasks with the transportation business, technical routes, expected results, and the work foundation of the pilot units, and organizes the Demonstration of the application project, select the best to determine and release pilot projects for autonomous driving and smart shipping.

  Pilot project implementation.

Leading units and participating units of the pilot project should strengthen coordination, highlight the integration of technology and business, and on the basis of ensuring the high-quality and timely completion of the pilot tasks, focus on summing up experience and forming a comprehensive scenario-oriented solution.

The recommending unit should strengthen the tracking and guidance of the pilot projects, and coordinate and solve the problems encountered in the pilot in a timely manner.

  Pilot project evaluation.

After the completion of the pilot project, the competent department of science and technology of the Ministry of Transport organized experts to evaluate the pilot situation.

Those who fail to complete the pilot tasks specified in the declaration shall be rectified within a time limit.

If the requirements are still not met after the rectification, the pilot project shall be cancelled.

Based on the evaluation and summary of the pilot work, the science and technology department of the Ministry of Transport optimizes and adjusts the pilot task areas in a timely manner.
