Ministry of Transport – National Highway Network Operation Monitoring and Management Service Platform

The Ministry of Transport’s National Highway Network Operation Monitoring and Management Service Platform is one of the key ministry-level projects identified in the “13th Five-Year Plan” for Transportation Informatization. It serves as a critical operational support platform for the National Integrated Transportation Information Platform, aiming to comprehensively advance nationwide networked video‑based highway monitoring, enable interconnection and data sharing at both the ministerial and provincial levels for highway video feeds, operational status, and incident information, foster cross‑regional and cross‑departmental collaborative management of the road network, and enhance the capacity for road network operation monitoring, assurance, and service delivery.
