分析了铁路实施提速战略的背景，并从国情、路情和铁路技术经济特点出发，提出提速是一个庞大的系统工程，提速要取得成功，就要在运输组织方式上，探索出一条实现列车速度、密度、重量最佳匹配的既有线提速挖潜改造之路，在技术装备的开发上，走出一条自主开发与引进、消化、吸收国外先进技术相结合的创新之路；介绍了铁道部以系统工程理论为指导，在技术创新工程组织与管理，运输组织与管理创新，提速安全风险控制管理三个子系统中进行管理创新、技术创新的具体做法和成功经验。

The paper analyzes the background of implementation of speed-raise strategy of Chinas railways. In line with the Chinese reality, the status of Chinese railways and the technological and economic features of the railways, it puts forward that speed-raise is a huge systematic engineering. To win the success of speed-raise, China ought to rebuild the traffic organization mode, tap the potential of the capacity and implement the speed-raise of the existing lines to optimize the match of speed, density and loading capacity of the train. On the other hand, China should rely on its own efforts to develop technical equipment while importing and digesting the state-of-the-art technologies of foreign countries. The paper introduces the practice and the successful experience of MOR in management and technical innovations for the subsystems-organization and management of technical innovation engineering, transport organization and management innovation and safety and risk control management for speed-raise——under the guidance of the systematic engineering theory. Finally, the paper discusses the impact of speed-raise-on social benefits, enterprises’ economic profits of speed-raise and overall competitiveness of the railways industry.
