    The speaker Sun Jun-guo shared the research results. The main content includes the overview of Shift2Rail scheduling management research, the demand analysis of Traffic Management Evolution and the architecture design of Traffic Management Evolution. The key points include: customer-centric dispatch command requirements; data integration and specification model; flexible and open unified platform. During the interactive communication session, participants discussed specific issues such as KPI indicators and passenger flow monitoring. Dean Luo Ming pointed out that the research of Shift2Rail innovation plan is also a reference for the framework and methods. In addition to learning specific technical routes and methodology, it is more important to think about how to migrate these cutting-edge technologies to our own system.
