国家铁路局·Published 2026-10-12·Checked by 管理员 on 2026-10-13

China's National Railway Administration issued the Railway Science and Technology Innovation Plan for the 15th Five-Year Period on 12 October 2026. The plan calls for fundamental research on 400 km/h trains and a CR450 EMU product series, and steady progress on 600 km/h high-speed maglev research with domestic key-technology validation. On AI, it requires building railway-specific AI models using vast operation and maintenance data for online safety assessment of train operations and personalized services, and upgrading the 12306 platform to full-journey intelligent services.

What it means for you

  • AI model developers gain a clear "AI + railway" application direction with operation and maintenance data scenarios for online safety assessment and intelligent O&M projects.
  • Suppliers of rolling stock, signalling and O&M systems face updated requirements from the 400 km/h matching technology system and maintenance framework; they must track the new technical requirements.
  • The 12306 full-journey upgrade creates procurement and deployment opportunities in facial recognition, edge computing and big data.
