Chapter IX Supplementary Provisions

Article 44 The terms listed in these Measures shall have the following meanings:

(I) intelligent connected vehicle refers to equipped with advanced on-board sensors, controllers, actuators and other devices, and integrates modern communication and network technologies to realize intelligent information exchange and sharing between the vehicle and X (people, vehicles, roads, clouds, etc.). Complex environmental perception, intelligent decision-making, collaborative control and other functions can realize safe, efficient, comfortable and energy-saving driving, and eventually a new generation of cars that replace people to operate. Smart connected cars are also commonly referred to as smart cars, self-driving cars, etc.

(II) intelligent network car automatic driving includes conditional automatic driving, highly automatic driving and fully automatic driving. Conditional automatic driving refers to the completion of all dynamic driving tasks under the designed operating conditions of the system, and the driver shall provide appropriate intervention according to the system dynamic driving task takeover request; highly automatic driving refers to the completion of all dynamic driving tasks under the designed operating conditions of the system, and the system will make a dynamic driving task takeover request to the driver under specific circumstances, and the driver/passenger may not respond to the system request; fully autonomous driving means that the system can complete dynamic driving tasks in all road environments that the driver can complete, without the need for driver/passenger intervention.

(III) Design Operating Conditions (Operational Design Condition,ODC) is the general term for the various conditions applicable to the operation of the driving automation system, including the design operating range, vehicle status and driver status. Among them, the design operation range (Operational Design Domain,ODD) is the external environmental conditions suitable for the functional operation of the driving automation system determined during the design, generally including: 1. Road boundary and road surface state; 2. Traffic infrastructure; 3. Temporary road changes; 4. Status of other traffic participants; 5. Natural environment; 6. Conditions such as network communication and digital map support.

(IV) carrying personnel refer to natural persons who have full capacity for civil conduct or have guardian's accompanying protection and do not have full capacity for civil conduct, and fully understand the content, scope and risks of the demonstration application and operation of intelligent network-connected vehicles, voluntarily participate in the demonstration application and operation and have signed relevant agreements. Minors can participate in the demonstration application and operation experience under the escort of the guardian.

Article 45 These Measures shall be interpreted by the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province, the Department of Public Security of Shandong Province, and the Department of Transportation of Shandong Province. They shall come into force on February 1, 2026 and shall be valid until December 31, 2028.
