Abstract
In 2015, the total length of the world’s HSRs reached 29,792 km. A total of 3603 HSR trains were put into operation, with a high speed of 320 km/h. The highest speed record for HSR, which is the highest speed data for the French HSR in 2007, is 574.8 km/h. Each year, the total number of HSR passengers is 1.6 billion, with 800 million in China, 355 million in Japan, 130 million in France and 315 million in other countries and regions. When the travel time is less than 2.5 h, 80% of travelers prefer to choose HSR rather than air travel.
