Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision has approved Beijing to build a national measurement data construction and application base (for autonomous driving) based on the application scenarios of the High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone. It is known that this base is the first of its kind in the country.

Measurement data consists of all types of original and generated data emerging from measurement activities. These data sets, notable for their traceability and reliability, constitute an essential national strategic resource, as well as a new production factor. Ensuring the accuracy of the measurements and data security and achieving effective use of measurement data will provide important technical support for the development of new quality productive forces.

At present, Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone has issued road test qualifications for more than 800 vehicles of 29 tested automakers. The testing mileage of autonomous driving has exceeded 25 million kilometers. The zone has realized the full opening and coordinated development of eight urban application scenarios, such as intelligent and connected passenger vehicles, intelligent and connected buses, unmanned shuttles, unmanned delivery services, and trunk logistics. It has provided regular travel and life services for more than 11.6 million trips and amassed data on vehicle-side perception, roadside perception, signal control, travel services, and others.

The application base is dedicated to leveraging measurement data to foster industrial development and improve urban governance and livelihood services. It builds upon the roadside data from facilities, including video equipment and sensor equipment, and the vehicle-side data collected by autonomous vehicles through measurement equipment such as sensors and cameras. By analyzing and mining this data to establish a standard scenario library, the initiative intends to develop an integrated vehicle-road-cloud information system for autonomous driving measurement data and a proactive safety protection system. This endeavor seeks to advance the construction and application of the autonomous driving data system, so as to ensure safer, more efficient and smarter autonomous driving.
