Title:
Updates on ITS Activities in China-Industry Practice
1
Introduction
In the meeting of ITU-T CITS on 7 March, 2014, regular updates on the ITS related activities of
China were required. China Unicom wishes to make the updates on ITS industry practice in China.
Industry associations and regular forums of telematics and ITS are booming in China. Among many
industry organization bodies, C-ITS, TIAA and Telematics @ China are current three major
influential organizations in telematics and ITS aspects.

C-ITS
2.1 Brief Introduction
Guided by MOT and led by RIOH, C-ITS was established in September, 2013, and composed by
dozens of ITS related large enterprises, universities and research institutions. C-ITS aims at further
promoting the industrialization, the standardisation, detecting services and applications of ITS
system.
Initiated by 45 large enterprises including China Unicom, China Telecom, Huawei, Datang
Telecom, Baidu, Changan Auto, Chery Auto, AutoNavi, NavInfo, Intel, Volkswagen, Benz and so
on, C-ITS covers automotive communication, automotive electronics, traffic management and other
industry fields. Currently, the standardisation work of C-ITS focuses on four aspects including
collaborative intelligent transportation, telematics services & security, intelligent public
transportation, and portable mobile terminal supporting traffic information services. It will set up
test platform of the alliance as soon as possible and strengthen international cooperation and crossStrait cooperation.
2.2 Current work
-
Members of C-ITS including Denso China, ChangAn Auto and RIOH tested the performance
of cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system in January 2014. The initial trial progressed
smoothly and achieved good results.

-
IEEE and C-ITS officially established a strategic cooperative partnership in March 2014 to
further strengthen standardization cooperation on intelligent transportation field and promote
related industrialization processes.
2.3 ITS Standards development
-
In March 2013, the preliminary drafts of series standards of ETC and DSRC including RSU,
OBU, consistency requirements and test methods had been completed.
-
In April 2014, cooperative vehicle-infrastructure - DSRC Network layer and application layer
standard was started drafting.
-
In May 2014, cooperative intelligent transport system - DSRC MAC layer and physical layer
standard will soon be published.

TIAA
3.1 Brief Introduction
Guided by several Ministries (MIIT, MOT, MOH, and SAC), sponsored by ESA, TIAA was
established in Beijing on February 4, 2010 and was involved by dozens of industry chain entities
including manufacturing, researching and applications. Its primary objective is to promote
telematics services and technology innovation and service applications of connected vehicle
networks.
The business scope of TIAA members covers five technical aspects including vehicle
manufacturing, electronics, software, communication operation and service integration, as it builds
up a complete industry cooperation chain and market service system. Located in Beijing, TIAA also
has offices or technology innovation bases in Shanghai, Wuxi, Kunshan and Chengdu.
