The rapid development of urban agglomerations and metropolitan circles in China has opened up broad space for the development of the new rail transit industry.

"Urban rail transit has entered the network era. The operating mileage of rail transit in Hefei has reached 115 kilometers, the total construction length has reached 170.9 kilometers, and the single-day line network passenger flow has reached a maximum of 1.146 million person-times." At the recently held China New Rail Transit Innovation and Development Conference According to Luo Yunfeng, the mayor of Hefei City, there is a broad space for rail construction and industrial development. Hefei City has launched comprehensive cooperation with industry enterprises including China Railway, strengthening scientific and technological support, and promoting artificial intelligence, integrated circuits and other advantageous industries and new rail transit industries. Deep integration.

"my country's rail transit operation mileage and passenger flow scale both rank first in the world. During the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, the cumulative length of new rail transit lines in my country was 4,351.7 kilometers, and the cumulative investment was close to 3 trillion yuan. The construction of rail transit is mainly concentrated in four There are three urban agglomerations: the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Pearl River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomerations." Zhong Jianhua, Executive Deputy Director of China Rail Transit Association, said that by the end of last year, China's rail transit operating mileage was 7,969 kilometers, with an average annual increase of new operating lines. The length is 870.3 kilometers, a record high.

The growth of new rail transit has promoted innovation, development, optimization and upgrading in the field of equipment manufacturing. Industry experts said that after years of development, my country's rail transit has good conditions in the entire chain of technology research and development, planning and design, and product manufacturing, providing a solid guarantee for the development of new rail transit.

Du Yanliang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the construction of "city clusters and metropolitan circles on the track" has spawned a huge new rail transit industry market, and rapid, green, networked, collaborative, intelligent, and resilient have become the direction of rail transit innovation and development.

In Feidong County, Hefei City, Anhui Province, the China Railway Hefei New Rail Transit and Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park is under construction. It is reported that this project is the first new type of rail transit R&D and manufacturing base set up by China Railway Corporation in the Yangtze River Delta region.

As the sub-center city of the Yangtze River Delta, Hefei actively participates in the joint construction of the "Yangtze River Delta on Track". During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the city plans to build 1,000 kilometers of railways, 1,000 kilometers of expressways, 500 kilometers of urban expressways, and 500 kilometers of urban rail transit, achieving an average annual growth of about 45% in the rail transit equipment industry. "We will focus on building three major rail transit industry clusters: R&D and manufacturing of rail transit core components, rail transit maintenance, and rail transit vehicle renewal manufacturing." Luo Yunfeng said.

Zhong Jianhua believes that although my country's new type of rail transit is developing rapidly, there are still "short-boards" such as the low degree of network integration, the weak independent capability of core equipment, and the single structure of rail transit construction. In the future, urban rail transit will change from speed-scale development to quality-benefit development, and the coordinated development of multiple systems will become an inevitable trend.

Yu Tengqun, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of China Railway Group Co., Ltd., said that as a leading enterprise in the entire industry chain of transportation infrastructure, China Railway aims at the national strategic needs, strengthens key core technologies of rail transit, and creates more intelligent, safe, Comfortable, economical, low-carbon and green rail transit promotes the transformation of manufacturing to creation, speed to quality, and product to brand.

"Promoting the cross-border integration of transportation with new information, new materials, and new energy, and focusing on the new trends of rapidity, greening, networking, synergy, intelligence, and resilience, the layout of the 'transportation +' industry will become a leading future track. An important direction for the development of the transportation industry." Du Yanliang said.
