On December 15, 2020, the 2020 Railway Industry Science and Technology Innovation Base was officially announced. The “Railway Industry Engineering Research Center of Long Tunnel Construction Technology in Special Complex Environment” of the First Railway Institute and the “Railway Industry Engineering Research Center of Beidou Navigation Equipment and Space-time Information Technology” of the fifth railway institute are among them.

Xinguanjiao Tunnel

Railway Industry Engineering Research Center for Long Tunnel Construction Technology in Special Complex Environment

The First Railway Engineering Institute is a leader in the construction technology of railway tunnel projects in China's special and complex mountainous areas, especially long and deep tunnels. More than 1,700 tunnels with a length of more than 2,000 kilometers have been designed and built successively, including the world’s first plateau permafrost railway-the Fenghuoshan tunnel on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the longest operating railway tunnel in China-the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Xinguanjiao Extra Long Tunnel, and the world's first A series of major railway tunnel projects, such as the Xicheng High-speed Railway and the Lanyu Railway, which passes through the “Geological Museum” of China’s mountainous areas, are high-speed railways that pass through difficult and dangerous mountains. They undertake the survey, design and scientific research work of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway.

The "Railway Industry Engineering Research Center for Long Tunnel Construction Technology in Special Complex Environments" of the First Railway Institute is China’s first tunnel technology innovation base in the railway industry. It is also the "National Key Laboratory of Rail Transit Engineering Information" and "Shaanxi Provincial Railway and Underground Transportation Engineering Key Laboratory" and "China Railway Construction BIM Engineering Laboratory" are another heavyweight scientific research and innovation platform. The completion of the research center will provide a high-level and open research and exchange platform for the research of long and large tunnel construction technology under the complex environment in China. It will solve the outstanding problems faced by the construction of deep and long tunnels, and improve the innovation ability of tunnel design and construction. An important approach to the level of operational safety is to improve the technical level of tunnel construction under special and complex environments, and to provide technical support for the scientific decision-making management of national road network planning. It is an urgent need to promote the "going global" of Chinese railways.

Beidou equipment research and development

Beidou Navigation Equipment and Space-Time Information Technology Railway Industry Engineering Research Center

The engineering research center will focus on the four major sections of railway engineering construction, equipment manufacturing, operation and maintenance safety, and comprehensive support for technical research and product incubation. Research in the field of engineering construction includes research on intelligent survey technology and smart construction technology; research in the field of equipment manufacturing includes research on Beidou equipment research and development, and research on Beidou equipment testing and certification; research in the field of operation and maintenance security includes research on smart operation and maintenance technology, and research on safety early warning and protection technology; comprehensive support Field research includes infrastructure spatiotemporal information cloud service technology research, Beidou application standard research and formulation, intellectual property distribution and early warning research.

From the three dimensions of Beidou railway terminal integration, data integration, and network integration, the engineering research center will use Beidou's integrated business applications and comprehensive information services as means to provide China Beidou with China's high-speed railway, providing more mature technologies, products and services to help. The deep integration of Beidou and high-speed rail and innovation empowerment have formed a more resounding "national name card" effect, injecting "core" power into the construction of a new development pattern in which the domestic big cycle is the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promote each other.

China Railway Fifth Institute Beidou Big Data Center

The "Beidou Navigation Equipment and Space-Time Information Technology Railway Industry Engineering Research Center" of the Fifth Railway Institute directly serves China's Beidou and China's high-speed railways. It is committed to the in-depth integration and application of two national business cards. It is incubating and providing mature Beidou technology and products for the Chinese railway industry. At the same time as the service, the two will join hands to participate in international cooperation, serve the One Belt One Road, and help China's independent technological innovation to re-emerge new abilities.

The engineering research center plans to provide resources aggregation and management, high-precision positioning and distribution, data mining and analysis and other spatiotemporal information foundations in the field of railway infrastructure Beidou spatiotemporal big data application research for the comprehensive support of the railway industry in the next 3 to 5 years. Services; for railway construction, it provides engineering construction lifecycle management application system services based on "Beidou precise location + GIS+BIM"; for transportation services, it provides applications integrating safety monitoring, engineering management, comprehensive maintenance and operation monitoring. Comprehensive spatio-temporal information application system services. Editor/He Yuting
