Research on the process and mechanism of standard-driven technological trajectory evolution-Empirical analysis based on V2X technology

Abstract

Abstract: The integration of digital technology and traditional industries not only introduces breakthrough products and services, but also fundamentally changes the process and modes of industrial innovation. Using V2X technology as a research sample, this article analyzed the generation, development, and selection process of the technological trajectory of the digital economy-related industries, and revealed the process and mechanism of technical standards in the evolution of the technological trajectory. The research results show that the development of V2X technology has gone through three stages: the budding period, the DSRC technology dominance period, and the establishment of the C-V2X technology dominance. Technical standards are important driving forces for the evolution, competition and selection of the V2X technology trajectory. The driving role of standards is mainly achieved through four mechanisms, namely standard application, transformation, guidance and diffusion. The research conclusions have important enlightenment for grasping industrial development opportunities and obtaining new momentum in the development of digital economy.

摘要： 数字技术和传统产业的融合发展不仅引入了突破性的产品和服务，还从根本上改变着产业创新的过程和方式。本文以V2X技术为研究样本，深入分析了数字技术相关产业技术轨道的变异生成、竞争和选择过程，揭示了技术标准在技术轨道演进过程中的作用过程和机制。研究结果表明：V2X技术的发展经历了萌芽期、DSRC技术主导期和C-V2X主导技术轨道确立三个阶段，技术标准是V2X技术轨道演进、竞争和选择的重要推动力量，其驱动作用主要通过标准的应用能力、转化能力、引导能力和扩散能力四种机制来实现。研究结论对把握产业发展机遇、获取数字经济发展新动能具有重要启示。
