Abstract: The transportation industry is one of the largest users of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), characterized by multiple locations, long lines, wide range, and extensive mobility. The application of BDS in the transportation industry improves the development level of intelligent, safe, green and shared transportation. Based on the introduction of the application requirements and characteristics of BDS in the transportation industry, this paper systematically introduces the overall status of BDS in the transportation industry, covering highways, waterways, railways, civil aviation, and the postal service. Finally, the paper forecasts future applications of BDS in the field of transportation. It identifies within the transportation industry rich application scenarios for the cultivation of advanced technologies represented by BDS, enhancing transportation safety services and guaranteeing emergency communication, while improving the operation efficiency and management level of an integrated transportation system.
