For the first time in the world, China will preside over the preparation of international standards for railway autonomous driving

News from this site on July 11, according to China Railway Construction News, at the 9th plenary meeting of the International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC269/SC3 held in Stockholm, Sweden, 13 countries including France, Germany, and Japan National experts and UIC observers voted unanimously to approve the project proposal of the "Guidelines for Operational Rules for the Application of Autonomous Driving Mode" task force, led by Feng Mei, a technical expert from the China Railway Construction Fourth Institute, and decided to establish a working group. Feng Mei serves as the convener of the working group and leader of the project team, leading the standard preparation work.

This is the world’s first ISO international standard (TR) on railway automatic driving, and it is also the first ISO international standard led by China Railway Construction, achieving a major breakthrough in international standards work.

According to reports, the "Guidelines for Operational Rules for the Application of Autonomous Driving Modes" focuses on the field of autonomous driving, which is currently a frontier hot spot in the world's railway industry. The project targets autonomous driving applications on mainline railways in China, Europe, Japan and other countries and regions, and identifies The impact of the application of autonomous driving mode on key elements of railway operations (positions, processes, responsibilities, etc.), and the principles for compiling macro-operation rules are proposed.

The report also mentioned that currently, there are about 923 kilometers of autonomous railway trunk lines around the world, including 643 kilometers for passenger transportation and 280 kilometers for freight transportation. China accounts for 68% of all operating miles and 97% of passenger miles; China Railway’s rich experience in the field of railway autonomous driving deserves to be promoted in ISO standards.

This site noticed that in 2016, the Pearl River Delta intercity train designed and constructed by China Railway Construction adopted the ATO system based on the CTCS train control system, and was the first in the world to achieve autonomous driving at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. In October 2020, Beijing The Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway has achieved autonomous driving at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
