The reporter learned from the State Railway Administration on the 10th that in recent years, with the continuous advancement of railway construction, China's railway network has become denser and denser, and the main channel of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network has been completed about 80%, and the general-speed railway network has been continuously improved.
At the National Railway Supervision and Management Work Conference held on the 10th, Tian Jun, chief engineer of the State Railway Administration, told reporters that at present, the construction of the railway network is changing from the construction of the main road network to the network to supplement the network and strengthen the chain. "While strengthening the construction of trunk railways out of Xinjiang and Tibet, along the Yangtze River and along the coast, the demand for multi-level rail transit interconnection is becoming increasingly prominent, and the construction of regional railways and modern logistics hubs such as intercity railways, urban (suburban) railways, and special railway lines is in the ascendant, and is gradually becoming the main battlefield of railway construction. ”
According to statistics, by the end of 2023, the operating mileage of railways in the country will reach 1590,000 kilometers, of which 4 are high-speed rail50,000 km.
In terms of technological innovation, Tian Jun said that railway technology innovation is changing from overall technology leadership to comprehensive independent leadership. After introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation, the overall technical level of China's railways has reached the world's leading level, and accelerating basic research and cutting-edge leading technological breakthroughs, and achieving comprehensive independent and controllable technology have become the focus of current efforts.
At the same time, railway transport services are changing from "walking" and "transporting" to "walking well" and "transporting smoothly". China's railway passenger turnover, cargo dispatch, freight turnover and transportation density rank first in the world; Fuxing has achieved full coverage of 31 provinces; The marketization, facilitation and informatization of passenger services have been accelerated, and the world's largest railway Internet ticketing system has been built. The supply of freight products has been continuously optimized, and heavy-duty transportation, express cargo trains, containers, cold chain transportation, and high-speed rail express transportation have developed in an all-round way, achieving an all-round leap in the quality of transportation services.
