Ministry of Railways: Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Train Sets Over 1000 Sensors

People's Daily, Beijing, July 14th (Reporter Shen Yaxin) “A highly reliable and sensitive safety monitoring and protection system will have some impact on passenger travel, but it can fundamentally avoid train accidents and effectively protect passengers. Security.” Wang Yongping, a spokesman for the Ministry of Railways, responded to the netizen’s doubts about the safety of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail when he was guest guest forum of the People’s Republic of China Power Forum this afternoon.

Wang Yongping stated that despite the many failures of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail, he still confidently told everyone that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail technology is advanced and mature, and the main quality indicators of the project have reached the best level of domestic similar projects and the world’s advanced level, and have established A complete set of security systems including operational maintenance, security precautions, and possible disaster impacts.

According to reports, all high-speed rail systems are designed in accordance with the "fault-oriented security" concept, with very high safety and reliability. It is precisely because of this that no matter whether it is a problem detected on any link or any point such as a line, vehicle, contact network, and communication signal, the system will adopt automatic response-oriented security measures in accordance with this design principle.

For example, Wang Yongping said that the CRH380 high-speed train used by the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail is very intelligent, and there are more than 1,000 detection sensors installed on the train. When the train detects a fault signal, it will immediately start an emergency response. Speed ​​until parking. This point, from the Wuhan-Guangzhou, Zhengxi, Beijing-Tianjin and other high-speed rail has been running, sometimes passengers in accordance with regulations in the vehicle smoking, will cause train fire monitoring and alarm, resulting in halfway parking. Such a high-reliability, high-sensitivity security monitoring and protection system, although it will bring some impact on passenger travel, but it can fundamentally avoid the occurrence of train accidents, can effectively protect the safety of passengers.
