区域标准ETCS成为国际事实标准的逻辑洞察

Logical Insight of Regional Standard ETCS Becoming the International De Facto Standard

国际项目上采用中国标准的国家不多,而各国标准又差异很大,比如铁路信号项目。中国铁路国际工程项目,从设计、设备到施工、维护等都要进行适应本地化的标准修改,尤其是铁路信号这类应用技术的国际项目,每进入一个新国家,标准差异都会导致难度和成本增大。而ETCS从一个欧盟的区域标准逐渐成为了事实上的"国际标准",能够被很多国家主动采用,给欧洲企业带来了显而易见的方便和效益。该标准受欢迎现象的背后逻辑值得我们研究和借鉴。本文列举实例,探讨了ETCS标准用户友好的诸多特点,分析了这些特点与其成为国际事实标准之间的关系。

Few country adopts Chinese standards in international projects,and there are big differences between national standards,such as railway signal projects.When China’s railway project,especially the application technology project like railway signal,is carried out in a new country,standards must be modified for localization,covering the procedures from design,equipment,construction to maintenance,etc.It increases the difficulty and cost.ETCS has gradually become a de facto international standard from an EU regional standard,and many countries have taken the initiative to adopt it,which has brought obvious convenience and benefits to European companies.The logic behind the popularity of this standard is worth studying and reference.This article explores the many user-friendly features of the ETCS standard by listing examples,and analyzes the relationship between these features and its becoming an"international standard".
