工业革命以来,铁路成为了现代文明的显著标志和驱动引擎。然而,发展至今,日益老化的铁路系统却已无法满足不断增长的运力需求。正因为如此,近年来火车意外事故在全球各地时有发生;不断膨胀的城市人口,愈加给现有的铁路运输能力和基础设施带来巨大的压力;各地的行程预定和票务系统急需全面升级。 Since the Industrial Revolution, the railway has become a prominent symbol and driving engine of modern civilization. However, with the development so far, the aging railway system has been unable to meet the growing capacity demand. As a result, train accidents have taken place in various parts of the world in recent years. The ever-expanding urban population has put tremendous pressure on the existing railway transport capacity and infrastructure. Travel scheduling and ticketing systems are in urgent need of an overall escalation.
