State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety

The State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety currently is the only one in the field of rail traffic in China. It was formally approved in May, 2006 by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, and successfully got through the acceptance in June 2010.
 

Positioning and Objective
The establishment of the laboratory is closely associated with the long-term development and practical needs of China’s rail transit. We adhere to the research idea of “integrating the research background to conduct applied basic theory research and combining with the actual demands to form key technologies”, stick to the principle of”striving to make innovative research and technological breakthroughs to promote industrial development”, carry out innovative applied fundamental theory research of rail traffic control and safety on rail transit transportation organization, operation control, safety and information transmission, which facilitate the formation of the System of Rail Traffic Control and Safety Key Technologies and Equipments that suitable to the national conditions and with self-owned intellectual property, It also aims to establish the world-leading research base of applied fundamental theory and work in the field of rail transit and provide platform for the original innovation, integrated innovation and secondary innovation of China’s rail traffic control and safety as well as the cultivation of high-level talents.

Relied Disciplines 

The laboratory conducts work relying on the three national-level key disciplines of “Transportation Planning and Management”, “Traffic Information Engineering and Control,” “Communication and Information System” and the first-level discipline of “System Science” which ranks No.1 in China. 

Research Environment 

The laboratory is located from 8th floor to the 13th floor, Si Yuan Building of Beijing Jiaotong University, occupying an area of 6800 square meters. The total value of existing equipment is 8284 million Yuan, of which, there are 8 sets of equipment worth in excess of one million Yuan.
The laboratory relies on two state-level key subjects and one first-rank subject.
The laboratory conducts work relying on the “Transportation Planning and Management”, “Traffic Information Engineering and Control,” “Communication and Information System” all of them are state-level key disciplines and “systematic science” ranks the first in the national assessment.

Experiment Platform
