#Defination:
High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail transport network utilizing trains that run significantly faster than those of traditional rail, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, lines built to handle speeds above 250 km/h (155 mph) or upgraded lines in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph) are widely considered to be high-speed.The high-speed rail market refers to the segment of the transportation industry that involves the development, operation, and utilization of high-speed train systems. These systems are designed to provide fast, efficient, and convenient passenger transportation between major cities and urban centers.

·???????? Key characteristics of high-speed rail systems:
1.?????? Electric Propulsion: Most high-speed trains use electric propulsion systems, such as overhead catenary wires or a third rail, to power the trains, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
2.?????? Dedicated Infrastructure: High-speed rail lines are typically separate from existing railway networks and often have dedicated tracks, eliminating conflicts with slower freight or commuter trains and allowing for more efficient operations.
3.?????? High Operating Speeds: HSR trains are designed to travel at high speeds on dedicated tracks, which are specifically engineered to accommodate these fast-moving trains. These speeds significantly reduce travel times between destinations.
4.?????? Advanced Technology: HSR trains are equipped with advanced technology, including streamlined aerodynamics, advanced braking systems, and sophisticated powertrains to achieve and maintain high speeds safely.
