In order to accelerate the implementation of the construction of a powerful transportation country, open up the artery of economic development, and promote the construction of new infrastructure for smart transportation. On September 23, the Ministry of Transport publicly issued a notice on the issuance of the "Action Plan for the Construction of New Infrastructure Construction in the Transport Field (2021-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The screenshots are from the official website of the Ministry of Transport. It is clear that by 2025, a number of new transportation infrastructure key projects will be built, a number of application scenarios that can be replicated and promoted, a number of technical standards and specifications will be formulated and revised, and transportation infrastructure networks and transportation services will be promoted. The integrated development of Internet, information network, and energy network has significantly enhanced the capabilities of precise perception, precise analysis, fine management and meticulous service. In-depth application of intelligent management, comprehensive coverage of integrated services, and effective improvement of transportation infrastructure operation efficiency, safety level and service quality.

The "Plan" puts forward the goals and tasks of building smart highways, smart waterways, smart ports, and smart hubs. The "Plan" also proposes to carry out traffic information infrastructure construction actions. Promote the construction of a comprehensive transportation big data center system. Create a comprehensive transportation "data brain". Build a strong comprehensive transportation information platform to enhance the dynamic control of comprehensive transportation operations and emergency command capabilities. Encourage and support local transportation authorities to coordinate the construction of comprehensive transportation information platforms, and strengthen the interconnection of comprehensive transportation information platforms at all levels.

The "Plan" requires assistance in the construction of communication and information infrastructure. Carry out research on the integration and application of 5G and other technologies in important transportation infrastructure. Combined with the commercial deployment of 5G, coordinated to promote network coverage of key highway sections, important comprehensive passenger transport hubs, ports and logistics parks. Promote the application of the Internet of Vehicles and the Internet of Ships technologies, and promote the construction of a smart, interconnected port with ubiquitous perception and collaboration between Hong Kong and vehicles. Coordinate the use of social and industry resources such as 5G and highway information and communication systems, and integrate the construction of an industry-integrated information and communication network that integrates world and earth.

The "Plan" clarifies and deepens the application of Beidou navigation system. Deepen the Beidou system's high-precision navigation and location service applications in the transportation field, build the Beidou global maritime distress and safety support system, deepen the Beidou global shipping demonstration application, and improve the Beidou-compatible global medium-orbit satellite search and rescue ground support system.

The "Plan" pointed out that the network security protection should be strengthened. Strictly implement the hierarchical protection system, strengthen the protection of critical information infrastructure, strengthen the construction of situational awareness, and ensure the safety and control of data sharing. Establish and improve data security protection systems, strengthen the full life cycle management and hierarchical and classified protection of infrastructure data, and implement data disaster recovery and backup measures. Promote the application of commercial encryption technology. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
