High-speed rail technology
High-speed rail (HSR) technology involves trains that operate significantly faster than traditional rail, often exceeding 186 mph (300 km/h). These trains run on specially designed tracks with advanced aerodynamics, lighter materials, and precise signaling systems to ensure safety and efficiency. HSR reduces travel time between cities, lowers pollution compared to cars and planes, and provides a comfortable, reliable alternative for passengers. The infrastructure includes specialized tracks, streamlined train designs, and modern control systems, all working together to achieve high speeds while maintaining safety and smooth operations.
