More than 2,500 detectors are installed on the Fuxing bullet train to monitor the vibration, temperature of bearings, traction and break systems as well as the environment in carriages.
In a single trip from Beijing and Shanghai, a distance of 1,318 kilometers, more than 300 megabytes of data will be recorded through these detectors, compared with 1.7 megabytes of data contained in a digital edition of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansion.
Also, the bullet train for the first time introduced high-speed Ethernet in the network control system, with the bandwidth expanding from 1-megabyte level to 100-megabyte level. And the whole network control system, hardware and software included, are entirely designed by China.
