ITS Scientific and Technical
Information and Communication Network
- STICN is a co-operation project
between the State Science and Technology Commission of China (SSTCC) and the European
Commission Directorate General XIII. The project's initial agreement was signed in 1993,
and it is a value-added network designed and implemented by both of them. After the
National People's Congress has been held in 1995, SSTCC began to put its hand to develop
STICN and completed the feasibility study. The enforcement plan in the present stage
started in the latter half year of 1996. It is a system which connect information users
and information providers and carry out information consultation services through WWW and
other communication tools.
- China is one of the countries with highest growth rate of highway
development in the world. According to the Ninth Five-year Plan and the Development
Program for the Year of 2010, the MOC will build the backbone of national trunk road
system, major waterway corridor, main ports and terminals together with relevant support
system, forming a primary comprehensive transport system. The backbone of national trunk
road refers to five longitudinal and seven horizontal routes of high grade roads across
the country with total mileage of about 35,000 km. 1996 saw great achievements of highway
construction in China with 1,117 km of expressways built in the year; based on this
development trend, the target of the Ninth Five-year Plan will be realized ahead of time.
By the year of 2010, the expressway network will be preliminarily established. It is the
very period, when the overall implementation of ITS is under way in the world. Therefore,
it is necessary for China to develop ITS in accordance with the actual demand, to find out
the possibility of the application of ITS to improve transport efficiency, to assure
safety and to protect the environment.

Brief
- Infrastructure bottlenecks pose a threat to future growth in China. Investment in
transport, telecommunications, and energy has lagged behind that in industry, resulting in
chronic shortages of transport services and increased urban congestion. Transport
shortages in turn contribute to power shortages, since coal accounts for 70 percent of
China's power generation and is mostly transported by rail throughout the country.
- Raising capital for infrastructure improve-ments is a major task: at least US$750
billion will be required over the next decade. Although the private sector is expected to
play a key role in meeting China's huge infrastructure needs, public spending will also be
required. Legal and regulatory changes, such as establishing a regulatory and
tariff-setting structure, amending property titling and mortgaging laws, refining
corporate bond markets, and developing a legal framework for the issuance of asset-backed
securities would improve financing mechanisms for infrastructure projects.
- The World Bank is supporting China in its efforts to reduce infrastructure
bottlenecks by expanding power, transport, water supply and other facilities, and by
implementing policy reforms that establish legal and regulatory frameworks for
infrastructure sectors. The Bank has worked with the government in developing
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) schemes, and is also providing policy reform guidance through
its Economic Law Reform Project (FY95
