BEIJING, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has remarkably enhanced the country's comprehensive traffic management in both efficiency and safety, according to the latest report.
The BDS and related technologies have been extensively applied in all major fields in China's transportation sector, said the report on the construction and development of the BDS released by the China Satellite Navigation Office.
The BDS has been applied in many areas such as key transportation process monitoring, highway infrastructure safety monitoring, port high-precision real-time positioning and dispatching monitoring, said the report.
By the end of October, around seven million commercial road vehicles had been installed with the BDS, accounting for 96 percent of road vehicles in operation.
