Meanwhile, the CR450 is equipped with intelligent monitoring and diagnostic systems, which allow the train to collect data such as axle temperature and pressure from over 4,000 monitoring stations in real-time. This advanced technology has enabled the train to recognize, assess and determine its actions by itself.
The train is also designed with adaptive lighting that can adjust brightness according to the outdoor environment, touchless restrooms with "airborne buttons," and additional options like family compartments and multi-functional spaces. Ren Guangqiang, an executive with the Locomotive & Car Department of China Railway, said: "We are committed to providing passengers with diverse, convenient, and personalized services to enhance their travel experience.".
