Abstract  This paper discusses some key problems faced in high-speed train operation. These problems include: wheel tread concave wear causing the lateral oscillation of the train in operation, wheel roundness higher-order polygonal wear leading to fierce vertical vibration of wheel/rail and abnormal vibration noise of the coach interior of the train thus causing loosening and cracking of the train bogie parts, short pitch rail corrugation generation on the part of the track, fracture of cushion layer and road base fracture of the track, and increased noise inside and outside the train. At present, the mechanism of the occurrence and development of these phenomena is still not fully understood. This paper briefly reviews the related research on these problems in China and abroad, including many important recent papers and the articles published in this special issue. They make outstanding contributions to solving these problems, and include important work on train-track coupling large system theory, the relationship theory and technique of wheel/rail, and the vibration-noise reduction technology of the train.
