The original gold from each reporter by reporters from Beijing

In the car fierce competition for market software, the Ministry of Communications finally shot, the call for the management of the market.

Yesterday (July 17), the Ministry of Communications formally issued "Notice on Promoting the Orderly Development of Calling Services for Taxi Vehicles such as Calling Software of Mobile Phone Software" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") and put forward 8 guiding opinions. It is required that the competent transportation departments at all localities should strengthen unified access and management of the taxi call service and gradually realize the call-demand information of all kinds of taxi vehicles through a unified urban taxi service management information platform and record and broadcast the entire process. This means that the legitimacy of taxi software is confirmed.

Ministry of Transportation also stated that the operation of the platform shall not affect the proper function and healthy competition of mobile phone calling software. Due to the different progress of construction of taxi service management information system in various cities, the development level of call-taking software is also different. Li Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Communications, said the Circular does not require time for unified access.

Does not affect the software independent scheduling

In accordance with the new regulations, taxi service calls include manual phone calls, mobile phone calls and Internet service vehicles and other services. The mobile phone software demand information can be pushed to the mobile phone terminal of the driver after the operation of the city taxi service management information platform. However, the operation of the platform may not affect the proper function and healthy competition of the mobile phone calling software. Taxi operators to regulate the installation of taxi-specific facilities for vehicles, vehicles shall not be suspended or placed in the impact of driving safety facilities and equipment. Taxi drivers may not pick up and use their mobile phones while driving.

Investment Advisor in the transport industry researcher Cai Jianming told the "Daily Economic News" reporter, the introduction of the clause will hit the current popular drip hit the software and other software, such software attached to the phone, the phone is severely restricted, no doubt broken The back of the taxi software, the taxi software in the future will be unified access to the platform, the faster the more to achieve the impact of docking to minimize.

In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Communications, does not affect their own software scheduling. Li Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Transportation, explained that the purpose of building a management information platform is only to ensure the traceability of the service call information and the supervision of the service process, and to protect the rights and interests of passengers effectively.

"This does not require that all the call-taking software be consolidated onto the platform to be scheduled and operated. It does not affect the autonomous scheduling of call-by-phone software, does not affect the healthy competition among service providers, and does not affect the normal operation of terminal software Function. "Li Zhiqiang said that the platform is only relaying the call information issued by passengers.

Unified access yet timetable

Li Zhiqiang said that due to the progress of construction of taxi service management information system in different cities, the development of call-taking software was also different. The Notice required no time for unified access.

According to him, it is currently suggested that cities should make their own decisions based on their own development and on reasonable consultations with software service providers. For the same reason, the Circular also did not require that cities must adopt the existing service management platform. However, cities without the platform are required to build as soon as possible. There are platforms but their functions are not up to standard or incompatible with the current development conditions , We must upgrade as soon as possible.

The "Circular" also requires that all types of calls for evacuation information be gradually implemented through a unified urban taxi service management information platform, and the entire process of recording and broadcasting. That is, after the passenger sends out the calling information, the information will be processed on the platform before the information reaches the driver's mobile terminal. Calling information in the future can only be pushed to the empty car, can not affect the normal operation of vehicles.

Tsai Kin-ming said that this can guarantee the fairness of the use of social resources so that everyone can enjoy the better car-riding experience brought about by scientific and technological progress. Also avoided a lot of taxi in order to grab a single suspension of all types of vehicle facilities and equipment, to bring hidden dangers to the operation of the car. The new rules pay more attention to the safety of passengers and protect the interests of passengers.

According to "Daily Economic News" reporter has learned that before the "notice" was formally introduced, the Ministry of Transportation conducted a full communication with people from all walks of life, and carefully listened to the views of software service providers, adjust some of them.
