The transportation information is in the national economy and under the social information big background profession information, mainly includes following five domains: One is the transportation government affairs information; Two is the transportation infrastructure construction and the management information; Three is the transportation production management information; Four is the transportation product marketing information; Five is the transportation science TRANBBS technical information. 
    
    The overall looked that, the current Ministry of Communications's information construction has yielded the gradual result. Take ITS, EDI, GIS-T, CAD, GPS as representative's transportation information high-tech research, the application and the promotion, fully has manifested the transportation information characteristic, has unfolded the transportation information level and the ability, causes the good response in the society. 
    
    The transportation information construction through the computer technology, the modern communication and the modern control technology and the 3S technology contour new electronic information technology effective integration, already was prospecting the TRANBBS design, the project TRANBBS construction, the traffic safety, the environment monitoring, the ships automation and so on many aspects has obtained the encouraging technical achievement, has initially constructed the transportation information network basic skeleton in the information infrastructure construction aspect, has constructed one batch of information applications and the management system management system in the transportation information resource development using the aspect. 
    
    This all explained the information technology gradually is becoming the transportation technology system the leading technology, becomes formidable propelling force which the transportation shipping industry development and the tradition transport mode optimization promotes. The information technology unceasing promotion and the application, inevitably cause the production efficiency unprecedented enhancement, the market scope comprehensive expansion, manages the way the radical transformation, the cost large scale drop, the resources disposition comprehensive optimization and the full use, the legal system environment, the management system, the thought idea significant transformation. 
    
    The characteristic is obvious 
    
    The transportation information high-tech, eliminates has with other profession information similar information infrastructure constructions, the office automation construction, the government website construction substandard, but also has own obvious characteristic. The near two year transportation information characteristic mainly is: Take does not stop the charge, the networking charge gradually deepens as representative's ITS application; GIS, GPS, RS apply in the transportation domain synthesis comprehensively launches; The thing flows and its the information technology causes widely takes; Technical application and so on EDI, CAD gradually mature and is popular. 
    
    The question is not allow to neglect 
    
    Certainly, what is noticeable, the transportation information while courageously to front, still had some diseases: The information technology application takes the information key, the existence weak link; The individual place leadership was not still thorough to the information understanding, takes the degree to be low; The policy laws and regulations lag, the overall plan coordination is insufficient; Invests lowly, the foundation work is unreliable; The transportation information development still had in the region not to be balanced, looked from the province hall information construction, coastal and the inland disparity was not big, but on county level looked from the place, the inland had the very big disparity, the very many center small TRANBBS city traffic control department did not even have the basic computer facility; The road, the waterway transportation information advancement in between the area between, the domain, the organization and even the leading cadre individual the difference very to be also big, causes in the information advancement the individual link to be blocked. In information aspect and so on management system, organization establishment, TRANBBS plan plan, policy measure, technical standard, movement rule all waits for the reform and the consummation. Diligently seeks speeds up the profession information advancement the policies and measures, is the urgent matter. 
    
    In transportation connotation and management system complex, also has manifested the transportation information value, also has manifested the transportation information difficulty. Specially in the transportation enterprise, the information with enterprise's reform, the reorganization, has not transformed and strengthens the management to achieve the seamless connection, but also does not have to play well the strengthened enterprise's foundation management role, but also does not have completely to absorb the advanced mature management idea. Although the coastal area, specially is engaged in the containerized traffic and the thing flows the service the enterprise information construction level to be better, but in there majority the small transportation enterprise still was facing the development and in the information successively contradiction. 
    
    Transportation information new technology application 
    
    Our country region broad, resources relatively scarce, the differences between town and country, the region difference are very big, each place economy development is not very balanced. If transportation development relative backwardness, in turn can restrict the economical development, therefore, in recent years, the highway traffic had the coverage in a big way in the national economy and the transportation, the compatibility strong, mobile was nimble and so on the characteristic and the superiority, gradually received takes and obtains the fast development. 
    
    Along with historical vicissitude, our country highway construction changes with each new day in the big investment, the road total course, the road network structure distinct improvement, "the hardware" on has obtained surmounts the type development. But "software" the aspect - information to surmounts in the road application very is also remote. Presently, along with road course extending, while "on first economical circle" the gradually formation, road information application also urgent need synchronization extends.
Intelligence transportation system (ITS) 
    
    The intelligence transportation system (ITS) took now the highway traffic development tendency, has become the prioritize the domain, is the highway traffic enters the intellectualized time the guidepost. In order to achieve the period of the first five-year plan intelligence transportation development goal, the national department concerned and the place city concentrated the strength in very variously to do the work. 
    
    But the Chinese ITS development foundation technology is weak. Mainly refers to the information and the electronic foundation technology weak, the product industry level is low, the domestic majority of products have the disparity in the precision and the reliable aspect and the overseas product. 
    
    Moreover, in the ITS system application, information resource between the system lacks sharing and the exchange, has affected the information system, the management system management system and the control system promotion, some domains appear the repetition research and the blank research phenomenon. 
    
    Transportation geographic information system (GIS-T) 
    
    GIS-T is in the traditional GIS foundation, joins geometry space network technology and so on concept and line superposition and dynamic partition, and matches by the special transportation modelling method composes, the transportation infrastructure GIS-T application gradually will construct designs software, business management software and the profession information management software first floor database. 
    
    The GIS industry commanding point is software, the foundation is a data. Our country had had the independent intellectual property rights one batch of mature GIS platform software and the mature application model, the domestic data production department originally has the spatial data, carried out the large-scale GIS application the foundation condition already to have. The digital transportation is similar to the nervous system, establishes and the maintenance pitch point constitution continual transportation space information infrastructure by the GIS module, along with the distributed computing and the network service development, GIS in the transportation sudden appearance of a new force, is facing is utilizing Internet, finally founds the digital transportation the direction to develop. May forecast that, GIS-T software finally will cause GIS and the transportation tradition service fusion. 
    
    GIS, GPS, RS (3S) is the geography information technology category, in the application often merges into one organic whole, often mutually seeps in the industry. But, at present 3S still was more unitary in the highway engineering application, speaking of the highway engineering, needed to realize the 3S technology highway engineering integration applied research direction to develop. 
    
    Computer-aided design (CAD) 
     
    The 1980s, the road reconnaissance design start to apply the CAD technology. After many years development, the CAD software function is more formidable, first by the two-dimensional surface design development for the three dimensional three-dimensional design, has realized the visible design, enhanced the intellectualized degree which the engineering design and the project ratio elects; Next, used the opening unified standard to guarantee between the application software high integration. 
    
    At present, in the highway engineering design work applies the CAD technology the unit to be more and more many, the large-scale highway construction project feasibility study and the engineering design incur bids, has the real background the three dimensional project entity modelling as well as the computer animation application increases day by day, design documents, 图库 the computer management oned the rise, promotes the road to survey the quality and the level largely enhances. 
    
    Path shipping industry information 
    
    Presently, the transportation information has become the transportation domain advance in technology the important direction and the new economical growth spot, the transportation profession is urgent needs to change the dependent tabula rasa recording dispatch information, depends on the experience to judge the vehicles position the backward region. Our country path transportation information technology application source in transportation service industry freight transportation loading industry, collection path transportation information network and electronic technology, information technology, communication, systems engineering to a body, technical nature strong, the organization work is complex, the high-tech will transport this ancient transport mode for the path to insert the wing. 

The modern age flows the information technology 
    
    The information how impetus to flow the modernization to obtain the universal attention. The country the enterprise information value, the electronic government affairs promotion, the thing flows the service own development and so on, all acted as the thing to flow in the information advancement the powerful auxiliary booster, the information technology is the modern age flows "CPU". 
    
    The modern age flows cannot completely imitate the overseas technology, but should carry on the thing according to enterprise's development to flow the system the design and the implementation. At present, some well-known enterprises revolve the most basic operational channel independent research and development class to manage software, unifies traditional transportation software and high end software, satisfies the different customer the demand, simultaneously introduces the overseas advanced technical equipment to make the thing to flow the information system. The thing flows the network now under the electronic commerce the thing flows one of active main development directions, builds and manages the high efficiency to retail the network is the enterprise market struggle for existence only outlet. 
    
    Management system management system application 
    
    The highway traffic profession information technology application level promotion and the information technology own unceasing development, will cause future primarily gradually to change the software application and the service to the information technology product demand by the hardware. 
    
    China does not lack software, but is lacks the adaption different department, profession specialized software. After WTO time China, the transportation profession management also will certainly gradually to move towards the standardization, the automation, but business management software is realizes standardized and the automated management best method. The software industry will be the transportation information core and the soul, the software application becomes the transportation information construction the hot spot, the information service becomes the transportation information construction the new demand and the way. 
    
    The policy eagerly anticipates the transportation information 
    
    Transportation infrastructure construction, the line long, the surface broad, the investment is huge, for the full display infrastructure benefit, the transportation must have the information to make the safeguard. The Ministry of Communications sizes up the situation, each department concerned leader discussed many times the information construction important matter, has taken a series of policies measure, had guaranteed from the macroscopic environment the information construction smoothly carries on. Not only has established "the Ministry of Communications information work leading group", but also has appeared "Transportation Information" 15 "Development Plan", "Road, Waterway Transportation Information Work Instruction Opinion" and so on the document, has provided the policy safeguard for the transportation information construction, also and the production management has created the good external environment for the enterprise information.
