摘要

Abstract

To solve governance bottlenecks including fragmented global traffic regulations

cross-border transport equipment certification barriers and insufficient dynamic road safety supervision during large-scale deployment of high-level automated driving systems

this paper systematically studies the Global Technical Regulation on Automated Driving Systems (ADS GTR) issued by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) on June 25

2026. It is the world's first universal technical regulation covering SAE Levels 3 and 4 automated driving

establishing a full-lifecycle traffic safety management framework centered on three core modules: multi-pillar validation

Data Storage System for Automated Driving (DSSAD)

and In-Service Monitoring Report (ISMR) mechanism. A horizontal comparative analysis is conducted across five dimensions: regulatory legal force

road application scenarios

traffic testing & validation

Over-the-Air (OTA) governance

and full-lifecycle supervision of operational vehicles

to compare ADS GTR

EU UN R157

US FMVSS

Japanese automated driving codes and China's domestic standards for intelligent connected vehicle road testing

and clarify the landscape of global intelligent transportation regulations. From the perspective of road transportation

differentiated impacts of ADS GTR on China's AI transportation industry

smart road network construction and road traffic safety governance are analyzed for four stakeholders: vehicle manufacturers for road transport

traffic testing & certification institutions

transportation regulatory authorities and transportation research institutes. Adaptation countermeasures are proposed regarding national standard revision

dynamic supervision of road operational automated vehicles

cross-border passenger & freight vehicle certification mutual recognition

and interdisciplinary traffic talent training. The research results provide practical support for improving domestic management rules of automated driving road operation and constructing an AI transportation governance system adapted to high-quality development.
