On May 24, the China Industry Innovation Alliance for the Intelligent and Connected Vehicles held its second working group leaders’ meeting in 2021. The meeting introduced the progress of the work of association standards and industry research, which can be summarized as follows:

 

  • In terms of V2X, the Alliance carried out industrial research work such as The Impact of V2X on Traffic Benefit. Two association standards are being prepared, namely (i) Test and Evaluation Procedure for the Early Warning Application Function of the V2X System of Intelligent Connected Vehicles, and (ii) Technical Requirements and Test Methods for the Positioning and Synchronous Technology of Direct Connected Communication under the Condition of LTE-based Wireless Communication Technology of Internet of Vehicles without GNSS Signal.
  • In terms of information security, the Alliance carried out industry research such as TSL Data Security Analysis Report and is developing the association standard Information Security Test Rules for On-board of Intelligent Connected Vehicles.
  • In terms of autonomous driving, the Alliance is working on the development of Elements of Autonomous Driving Map Collection Model and Interchange Formations, as well as industrial research work on high-precision dynamic maps and high-precision satellite positioning.
  • In terms of platform and software of basic data, the Alliance started the work of association standards on cloud control platform architecture, and research on the White Paper 2.0 of Cloud Control System. It is also developing two association standards of vehicle control operating system functional software architecture and visual perception computing chips.
  • In terms of the safety of expected functions, the Alliance conducted the safety test of expected function scenario database, SOTIF quantitative evaluation system and test specifications. It also completed the white paper on the safety of expected function of intelligent connected vehicles.

 

Due to the flexibility and timeliness of association standards, they are playing an increasingly important role in some rapidly evolving and iterative technology fields. Compared with government-issued standards, they can respond to market needs more rapidly, and often serve as the basis of or can be upgraded to government standards. Therefore, it is necessary to track the development of association standards in emerging technology fields, especially those issued by social organizations which have close relations with the government, and thus exert a strong influence over the industry.

 

 

Background:

The China Industry Innovation Alliance for the Intelligent and Connected Vehicles is a social organization founded in June 2017 by the China Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the China Association of Automobile Manufactures (CAAM) – namely two of the most influential social association in auto industry. It is supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China. Joint areas include automotive, communications, transportation, Internet enterprises, universities, and research institutions.

 

The Alliance works in policy and strategic research, R&D of key technologies, standards and regulations, testing and demonstration, industrial promotion, academic exchanges and international cooperation, and talent cultivation. It aims to support government decision-making and the development of service industry.

 

Currently, the Alliance has set up several working groups, including on V2X map, information security, automatic driving and positioning, new high-speed network, basic data platform, commercial vehicles, AVP, industrial investment and financing, testing, demonstration, the safety of expected function, basic software and advanced chassis control. To date, it has issued 11 association standards, and a series of research results such as Innovative Application Roadmap of Intelligent Connected Vehicles.

 

In addition, the Alliance has signed standardization cooperation agreements with influential standardization organizations, such as the China ITS Industry Alliance and the Telematics Industry Application Alliance, aimed at jointly promoting the establishment, development and release of standards.
