After years of construction and development,China's railway has changed from scale and speed development to quality and efficiency development,which has basically adapted to the requirements of economic and social development.During the 14th Five-Year Plan period,the CR450 innovation project initiated and implemented in China has achieved important milestone results,which is a key step to promote the development of 400 km/h high speed railway.400 km/h high speed railway is suitable for long dis-tance corridors,so it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design of high speed railway development mode.According to the prac-tice and experience of high speed railway development in China,this paper puts forward the development mode of 400 km/h high speed railway in the corridor,and analyzes the influencing factors of the development mode of 400 km/h high speed railway from the aspects of planning conformity,technical feasibility,ability adaptability,investment economy and forward-looking development,which provides reference for steadily promoting the application of CR450 innovation project.
