Advanced technologies are used on the bullet cargo train. The intelligent operation and loading system help the train working safely and efficiently. The use of big data and cloud analysis technologies realize the compact arrangement of cargo and loading space. The mobile network and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System help the loading system of the train to recognize and locate the cargo.
