Mechanism research on the synergistic innovation among regulation,management,and technology in railway engineering
This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the synergy among regulation,management,and technology innovation in railway engineering and verify the role of key factors in innovation performance.First,a literature review and expert interviews were conducted to identify the influencing factors of railway engineering synergy innovation from the three dimensions of regulation,management,and technology.Then,the rationality of key influencing factors was validated using exploratory factor analysis.Based on this,a model was constructed to illustrate the relationship between key influencing factors and their effect on innovation performance.Second,a structural equation model was employed to simulate the interaction relationship between key influencing factors and their effects on innovation performance.Finally,the principles and processes of the influencing factors were analyzed to propose a pathway for improving railway engineering innovation performance.The findings indicate that the key factors affecting railway engineering innovation include engineering legal systems,innovation policies,relational management,contract management,engineering technology demand,and innovation resource input.These key factors are interrelated,and each has a significant direct impact on the innovation performance of railway engineering projects.To further enhance the innovation performance of railway engineering projects,it is necessary to strengthen the role of the railway engineering synergy innovation system guarantee,increase railway engineering synergy innovation management control,and construct a railway engineering synergy innovation technology network.This study offers valuable guidance and references for enhancing railway engineering innovation,both in theory and practice.The research findings help to formulate targeted innovation strategies and rational policies and provide effective pathways for improving the innovation performance of railway engineering construction.
