At the China Mobile booth, the CheLuYun collaborative exhibition area attracted much attention. CheLuYun’s layout, the digital twin demonstration section of the 5G-A trial in Kangbashi District, Ordos City, Beidou high-precision positioning, low-altitude economic scenario layout, airspace supervision platform, etc. have built a huge new ecosystem covering application end, vehicle end, road end, and cloud end Computing Power, realizing seamless connection between vehicle-end Computing Power and cloud-end Computing Power, effectively enhancing the intelligence level of transportation services.

In recent years, Ordos City has fully leveraged its green electricity advantages, actively promoted the integrated construction of vehicle deployment, cloud control platform, and roadside facilities, focusing on building an ‘1+N’ intelligent connected car industry layout supported by the Kangbashi demonstration zone as the core and diverse application scenarios.

Liu Fengyun, member of the Standing Committee of the Ordos Municipal Committee and Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government, said in his speech that Ordos is actively seizing the opportunities of the times, strengthening the integrated support of vehicle-road-cloud, building diversified application scenarios such as smart urban transportation, smart mining, and bulk cargo transportation, creating a complete industry chain of production, distribution, and sales, strengthening innovation support, investment support, and service support, and striving to seize the innovation high ground and promote the innovation of the intelligent connected vehicle industry with technological innovation.

Experts and scholars discuss the new development of intelligent network connection

The era of intelligent and networked integration of intelligent vehicles has arrived. The industry’s technology is gradually evolving from single-vehicle intelligence and vehicle-cloud collaboration to the integrated development of vehicle-road-cloud. The industrialization and implementation of the integrated vehicle-road-cloud system require joint efforts from multiple parties.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, professor at Tsinghua University, and chief scientist of the National Intelligent Connected Vehicle Innovation Center, Li Keqiang, stated in his keynote speech that the integrated vehicle-road-cloud system has the typical characteristics and difficulties of information-physical systems and complex large systems. It is necessary to further build a complete system architecture and collaborative mechanism, and comprehensively strengthen the consistent design guidance of the integrated vehicle-road-cloud system.

He suggested strengthening consensus among all parties, unifying system architecture and standard specifications, guiding automobile companies to actively participate in the demonstration construction of the vehicle-road cloud integration system, platform companies to control the quality of construction, continuously improve and upgrade data quality, innovate business models, invigorate data assets, improve transportation and vehicle driving applications, while strengthening cooperation among government departments, breaking through policy boundaries and barriers.

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Department of Industry and Information Technology Deputy Director Zhang Guangshou also pointed out at the conference that it is necessary to strengthen innovation drive, enhance the core competitiveness of the intelligent connected vehicle industry, deepen integrated development, and expand the application scenarios of intelligent connected vehicles. At the same time, it is also necessary to improve the policy system supporting the development of intelligent connected vehicles, strengthen industrial chain coordination, enhance industry management, and optimize the industrial ecology to promote the high-quality development of the intelligent connected vehicle industry.

Zhang Jinhua, Chairman of the China Society of Automotive Engineers and Executive Director of the National Intelligent Connected Vehicle Innovation Center, suggested that pilot cities for the application of intelligent connected vehicles should promptly clarify policy frameworks and application paths that are in line with their own development characteristics. This will drive pilot construction and industrial development through innovative urban management, effectively improving traffic safety and efficiency, and creating new driving forces for urban development.

Cultivating and strengthening a multidimensional policy framework for the growth of a new intelligent network ecosystem.

At the conference, Ordos City released a smart connected car policy system, which will escort the development of the smart connected car industry ecosystem from the perspectives of top-level design, legislative guarantee, standardized management, and basic support. He Wanzhi, Secretary of the Party Group of the Ordos Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, stated that next, Ordos City will continue to improve the policy system in basic map application, full-process supervision, and data management. At the same time, in combination with the characteristic applications of smart connected heavy-duty trucks and mining trucks in Ordos City, it will establish a cross-regional smart connected car policy coordination mechanism to share test scenarios, basic infrastructure, and policy innovation achievements.

To promote the construction of industry standard system, the Ordos Energy Bureau and the China Society of Automotive Engineers jointly launched the intelligent connected mine truck standard and evaluation system at the conference, with 16 initiating units. They focused on the construction of test fields and test scenarios to carry out standard development, support the construction of the Ordos mine truck test field, and conduct tests and certification based on the needs of the mine truck industry, helping the intelligent connected vehicle industry move towards standardization and normalization.
