At present,there is no local standardization requirements of navigation aids in Guangxi,resulting in large differences during the construction of navigation aids in different projects within the same jurisdiction.It largely has limited the improvement of navigation assistance service level,as a result navigation aids standardization is imminent.Taking the Pinglu Canal project as an example,we learn from the standardization in Jiangsu,Jiangxi and other areas with developed water network,and deeply analyze main parameters and influencing factors of inland river navigational aids design.Based on these,we propose the problems existing in the design of inland river navigation aids in Guangxi and the corresponding solutions in the Pinglu Canal project，and provide reference for similar projects and local navigation aid standardization.
