In recent years, China's high-speed rail has continuously set new technological innovation milestones. The 400-kilometer-per-hour variable-track high-speed train being developed in China can run on tracks with different gauges and infrastructure standards around the world to meet the needs of cross-border transportation and effectively improve the level of interconnection under the "Belt and Road" initiative. In addition, high-speed maglev trains with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour will provide passengers with a better experience; high-speed freight trains with a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour are also scheduled to go offline by the end of this year.
In the construction of high-speed rail, the state maintains large-scale capital investment, and provinces and cities actively carry out regional high-speed rail planning. High-speed rail technology innovation has also received strong support from the state. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the state launched a key project for advanced rail transit, which will enable China's high-speed rail technological innovation capabilities to maintain the world's leading level.
High-speed rail is a master of the latest industry technology, basic industrial technology and emerging technology. It is a comprehensive display platform for a country's scientific and technological capabilities, industrial capabilities and service capabilities. With the rapid development of high-tech in recent years, the deep integration of China's high-speed rail technology and other high-tech has brought many surprises.
Artificial intelligence is widely used in high-speed rail equipment, construction, operation and services. The core of high-speed rail intelligence is the combination of artificial intelligence and high-speed rail technology. Image processing, machine learning, knowledge mining and other technologies in the field of artificial intelligence are commonly used tools for modeling, analysis, control, and state detection in various majors of trains and railways. In September this year, China's first intelligent high-speed rail-Beijing-Zhang high-speed rail will be a joint test. In the track laying process of Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, the application of intelligent robot detection, mechanized and automated track laying units and construction informatization has greatly improved the track accuracy and construction efficiency.
In terms of the safety guarantee of high-speed rail, through the integration and application of Internet of Things, sensor network and information Internet technology, train operation status can be obtained in real time, and detection, diagnosis and early warning can be carried out, which can greatly improve the operation safety factor and operation and maintenance efficiency of high-speed rail trains.
In addition, there are some technologies that also shine in the railway scene. For example, virtual reality technology will change the passenger interface, and high-speed communication technology will enable passengers to work, socialize and entertain normally in the car. From a global perspective, greening, genealogy and intelligence are the main development directions of rail transit in the future.
Greening refers to the application of new energy to high-speed railways, that is, the integration of energy utilization technology and high-speed rail technology, such as hybrid trains and fuel cell-driven trains under development. Pedigree refers to the adaptability of high-speed trains to different scenarios, I .e. the integration of new material technology and high-speed rail technology. Intelligence is the integration of artificial intelligence technology and high-speed rail technology.
The continuous progress of high-speed rail technology is of great significance to social development. High-speed rail will change the traditional concept of city, time and space, and have a profound impact on people's lives. According to statistics in the Russian documentary "China Speed", every minute of travel time saved from Beijing to Shanghai can bring millions of dollars in revenue to the Chinese economy, while driving the vigorous development of commerce and tourism in the areas along the route. High-speed rail is an effective tool to promote balanced economic development in different regions, and at the same time, it can make social resources gather in a more favorable direction.
In the next 15 years, China's high-speed rail will strive to achieve commuter transportation within 500 kilometers, 1500 kilometers of urban transportation and more than 2000 kilometers of corridor transportation.
China's high-speed rail will also continue to "go out". The future interconnection of the Eurasian railway network will further promote the construction of a community of human destiny. At the same time, China's high-speed rail technology has strong overall adaptability, low cost, large volume, and international standards. China's high-speed rail technology is also suitable for developing regions such as Africa and South America.
