Last piece of China’s plan for the Internet of Vehicles standards system completed

On 1 March 2020, MIIT, MoT and SAC jointly issued the Guidelines on the Establishment of the National Standards System for Internet of Vehicles Industry (Related to Intelligent Transportation). The document represents the last piece of China’s efforts to establish the standards system of Internet of vehicles; together with previously released the sections of Intelligent Connected Vehicles, General Requirement, Telecommunication, Electronic Products and Services, and Management of Intelligent Vehicles, the document outlines a comprehensive plan for the development of Internet of Vehicles standards in the years to come.

The document divides the standardization work of Internet of vehicles (Intelligent Transportation Section) into five parts, including basic standards, intelligent transportation infrastructure, interaction between vehicle information and road information, transportation management and service of Internet of vehicles, and cybersecurity standards. Specifically, it outlines 72 standardization projects (including 55 national standards and 17 sector standards). Among these projects, 11 national standards have already been developed, while other 11 national and sector standards are in the pipeline – although only two of these 22 standards adopt or refer to international/foreign standards (i.e. ISO 15624-2001 Transport information and control systems—Traffic Impediment Warning Systems (TIWS)—System requirements, ENQ; and IEEE 1609.2-2016 Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments—Security Services for Applications and Management Messages). This suggests a possibly widening gap in the future between China’s standards and international standards in the field. If there are no ISO or IEC counterparts, China’s standards may become well positioned to represent the basis for the development of international standards of Internet of vehicles.

It is also noteworthy that 2 sector standards projects outlined in the plan will directly adopt association standards: T/ITS 0038-2015 Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System-Data Specification for and Blind Area Security Early Warning System, and T/ITS 0040-2015 Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System-Data Specification for Speed Guide Service – both from the China ITS Industry Alliance. This reflects the growing influence of the Alliance over the Internet of vehicles industry; it also highlights the increasing importance of the role of association standards in the standardization plan of the Chinese government.
