- Abstract
The main research content of this paper is to compare the causes and possible influencing factors of the development of high-speed railway construction in various countries. This paper collates the high-speed rail development data of the top 50 countries in operation and construction mileage in 2019. This paper summarizes the original intention of building the first high-speed railway in some countries, studies the possible influence of different national political systems on the development of high-speed railway, and selects 25 countries with high-speed railway operating mileage for comparison and regression of some large indicators. The study found that total population had a significant positive relationship with the miles of high-speed rail, and land area had a significant negative impact, which may be caused by some difficult-to-quantify factors such as differences in land ownership in different countries. GDP has a positive relationship, but it is not statistically significant, which may be caused by the fact that countries are competing for the high-speed rail market by sending high-speed rail projects to other developing countries. This paper will provide some reference for the choice of the timing of high-speed railway construction in some countries.
