Shanxi Qixian Non-Contact Overload Enforcement Comprehensive Law Enforcement System (District/County Level) Project

As a major coal-producing province, Shanxi faces immense pressure on its road freight transport network. Qixian County, historically known as a vital transit hub connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi, remains an important transportation nexus in the heart of Shanxi and ranks among the province’s leading counties in terms of freight volume. Shanxi Province plans to adopt a collaborative approach—jointly promoted by the provincial and municipal levels and based on rational co‑construction—to develop a robust, replicable, and widely applicable non‑on‑site integrated law‑enforcement model. This initiative aims to further advance comprehensive law‑enforcement reform and provide strong support for the healthy, orderly development of the transportation sector.

Project Background

As a major coal-producing province, Shanxi faces immense pressure on its road freight transport network. Qixian County, historically known as a vital transit hub connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi, remains an important transportation nexus in the heart of Shanxi and ranks among the province’s leading counties in terms of freight volume. Shanxi Province plans to adopt a collaborative approach—jointly promoted by the provincial and municipal levels and based on rational co‑construction—to develop a robust, replicable, and widely applicable non‑on‑site integrated law‑enforcement model. This initiative aims to further advance comprehensive law‑enforcement reform and provide strong support for the healthy, orderly development of the transportation sector.

Problem Analysis

As socio-economic development progresses, the traditional manpower‑centric approach to overloading enforcement can no longer be sustained in the long term. There is an urgent need to leverage technological solutions to digitize, network, and automate overload control and integrated law enforcement.

1. Freight vehicles passing through designated stops must undergo inspections for over‑dimensional loads, be equipped with Beidou (satellite) dynamic monitoring terminals, obtain permits for transporting oversized cargo, and ensure proper covering of heavy, fluid, or bulk materials being transported.

2. It is necessary to query the location information and historical trajectories of all vehicles passing through designated stops, and to establish electronic fences for key areas and source enterprises.

3. It is necessary to capture and detect violations such as unlicensed, obscured‑plate, fake‑plate vehicles, and failure to drive in the designated lane.

4. Must comply with the “one violation, four penalties” requirement and feature big-data vehicle‑face recognition capabilities.

5. Real-time command and dispatch are required, with precise enforcement against “blacklist” vehicles, and the entire law‑enforcement process must be fully documented.

6. It is necessary to implement electronic evidence generation, data exchange, and overload‑control business management, as well as functions for interfacing with existing overload‑control stations and source‑point enterprises and for pushing relevant information.

Solution

Taking into account the current state of the road network within Qixian County, existing over‑weight and over‑dimension control facilities, and the results of OD traffic volume surveys, and guided by the principle of county‑wide enforcement, we propose deploying four non‑stop enforcement stations across the county. These stations will conduct real‑time monitoring of freight vehicles transiting the area, collect violation data, and strengthen the county’s comprehensive over‑weight and over‑dimension control network. In parallel, a unified integrated enforcement platform will be established, integrating data from the national freight vehicle supervision service platform, provincial oversized‑cargo transport approval systems, and road transport administration databases. The platform will support a range of functions, including electronic perimeter fencing, blacklist alerts and automated early warnings, command and dispatch, license‑plate recognition, source‑origin tracking, evidence preservation and violation processing, online payment, and statistical analysis.

Customer Value

1. Non‑site enforcement stations have been completed, achieving full coverage of key freight‑origin entities, major bridges, critical road segments, and vital transportation corridors, with 100% inspection of all freight vehicles passing through these non‑site enforcement points.

2. Capture violations such as unlicensed, obscured, or fake license plates on freight vehicles, as well as driving in lanes not designated for them, and impose off-site penalties.

3. Inter-departmental joint efforts to address overloading have largely become routine and institutionalized, with the relevant functions for implementing the “one violation, four penalties” requirement now in place.

4. Capable of real-time command and dispatch, as well as precision targeting of vehicles on the “blacklist.”

5. Throughout the entire law enforcement process, records are maintained, and law enforcement information is largely integrated and shared, covering the production of electronic evidence for non‑on‑site enforcement in traffic management, road administration, and public security, as well as data exchange and overload‑control business management.

6. Provide an online payment platform enabling remote bill payments, thereby further advancing the “delegation, regulation, and service” reform.

7. Through technological means, the rate of over‑weight and over‑dimensional freight vehicles in county‑level areas has declined significantly, and a number of replicable and scalable best practices and exemplary outcomes have been developed in areas such as overload‑control networks, joint law enforcement, credit‑based overload management, and information integration and sharing.
