The improvement of the transportation capability is an urgent task that Chinese people are confronting with. Currently, the high-speed railway in China undertakes more than 60% of the transportation tasks, and therefore it occupies a decisive position all over the country. As is known to all, the track is one of the main technological equipments of the high-speed railways, and also is the foundation for the trains to run. Besides, the public works department shoulders the management and technological improvement of the high-speed railway tracks; therefore, its most important duties are strengthening the track structure, improving the track quality, ensuring the trains to run safely, steadily and incessantly in accordance with the regulated standard speed.
