Chen Ping, Director of the Geographic Information Management Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources, recently stated that the ministry has launched an innovative pilot program in six cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, to pilot the use of high-precision maps for intelligent connected vehicles while ensuring safety. The program aims to establish a rapid integration and update path for map data and gradually build a standard system for autonomous driving maps. He stated that currently, autonomous driving map products below L3 level are widely used in ordinary roads covering large and medium-sized cities in China. Some pilot cities have developed map products that support autonomous driving above L3 level, and the application scenarios of map empowerment for autonomous driving continue to deepen. It is reported that China has achieved the aggregation and release of 24 natural resource thematic information, including planning, land survey, forestry and grassland, ocean, and surveying geographic information, on a single geographic base map, realizing the transformation of the Tian Map from a traditional basic geographic information service platform to a comprehensive natural resource service platform. In terms of standard maps, a three-level service structure has been formed at the national, provincial (autonomous region, municipality directly under the central government), and municipal levels, with a total of 13000 maps released nationwide and continuously enriched supply. In terms of emergency surveying and mapping, a coordinated and linked emergency surveying and mapping support organizational system has been formed at the ministerial, provincial, municipal, and county levels, which has the ability to obtain high-resolution remote sensing images of the scene within 6 hours and provide the first batch of emergency surveying and mapping results within 12 hours in case of emergencies. At the same time, the development momentum of China's geographic information industry is good. According to the China Geographic Information Industry Association, by the end of the 14th Five Year Plan period, the total output value of China's geographic information industry is expected to exceed 900 billion yuan, an increase of over 30% compared to the 13th Five Year Plan period, with over 4 million employees. Chen Jun, Director of the Land Surveying and Mapping Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources, stated that China has initially established a three-dimensional real-life China, supporting the construction of a digital China. Through technology integration and data integration, China has established a realistic 3D technology system from design, construction to application, and constructed a series of realistic 3D data achievements composed of geographic entities, geographic scenes, geographic reality, etc. Realistic 3D China is an important foundational element of Digital China, providing a unified spatiotemporal foundation for the digital economy and smart cities. At the macro level, terrain level real-life 3D is used to achieve large-scale 3D digital mapping. Series products such as 5-meter and 10 Mig networks cover the entire land area of China, and 1:10000 data covers 70% of the land area. At the meso level, city level real-life 3D maps the city's 3D space digitally. Over 300 cities at the prefecture level and above have completed LOD 1.3 level 3D model production, and 67 cities have launched pilot projects for the construction of smart city spatiotemporal big data platforms to promote the digital transformation of the entire city. At the same time, China has established a network of national satellite navigation and positioning reference stations to enhance Beidou navigation and positioning services. China has introduced the "Management Measures for Satellite Navigation and Positioning Reference Stations", which implements unified planning, standards, and supervision of reference stations. It is reported that this law will officially come into effect on January 1, 2026, and is the first departmental regulation in China to standardize the management of benchmark stations throughout the entire chain. It formulates a national layout plan for benchmark station construction, guides the rational layout of benchmark station construction, and avoids redundant construction. Build a "1+32" national and provincial Beidou application and benchmark service center, forming a service guarantee mechanism of top-down linkage and regional coordination. We provide surveying and mapping benchmark services to the whole society, and offer high-precision positioning services such as Beidou for forest and grass monitoring, disaster warning, and precision agriculture. Our daily professional services exceed ten million times. (New Society)
