Evolution of Railway Engineering Knowledge from the Perspective of Engineering Philosophy

: The rapid development in railway engineering is inseparable from the theoretical guidance of railway engineering knowledge, which has been continuously deepened through practice. Based on the perspective of engineering philosophy, this study considers railway engineering knowledge as its research object. Accordingly, we start our discussion from the basic connotation and essential characteristics of railway engineering knowledge, explores the evolutionary power of railway engineering knowledge based on demand development, and comment on the evolution of railway engineering knowledge on this basis. These characteristics provide theoretical guidance for the development of railway engineering knowledge.
