CRRC and Russian leading scientific institutions involved in rail transport established an innovation Centre to conduct joint research and training in the development of rolling stock for high-speed railways.
At the Moscow State University of Railways, the opening ceremony was held of the Russian-Chinese Scientific and Educational Centre for the development of rolling stock and the interaction between rolling stock and rail transport infrastructure.
“This is an important event that will unite the efforts of scientists and developers of China’s universities and China’s leading railway engineering company CRRC with Russian universities and science… We firmly believe that the Centre will become the basis for the development of these technologies in the future,” Alexander Misharin, First Deputy CEO of OJSC Russian Railways said.
He explained that the Center will be involved in the development of new rolling stock capable of speeds of up to 400 km/h, using energy efficiency innovative technologies, taking into account the environment and noise issues.
During “Transport of Russia 2017″ forum, China and Russia has discussed about the creation of a Eurasian HSR corridor and the industry transformation that is going to use digital technologies.
“Imagine the movement of freight and passengers from the border of China to the border of Europe in just one day, or from any city in China or South-East Asia to any city in Europe in two or three days. We have done a preliminary feasibility study of the project and concluded that the construction would take 8 years. Without a doubt, the creation of the high-speed network is a great technological challenge,” said Alexander Misharin.
The total length of the Beijing-Moscow-Berlin line will be about 9,500 km, including 6,700 km of newly constructed lines and 2,300 km across Russia. By integrating the transport systems of the countries of Asia, Russia and the European Union, the largest high-speed network in the world will be created and have a total length of more than 50,000 km.
The participants of the discussion noted that the implementation of this global project is impossible without the use of modern information technologies and the principles of the “Digital Railway” concept. It was developed by Russian Railways and assumes the wide application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Digital Modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the creation of linear infrastructure facilities.
