2013/02/19

The first high-speed railway maintenance locomotive developed in China recently made its debut in Shanghai. Developed by the local railway bureau, the high-tech locomotive is equipped with laser scanning, computer image processing and smart analysis technologies. The bureau said it can find defects on railways and guide technicians to fix them, scanning about 100 kilometers of rail every night, 20 times faster than manual checks.
