Railway is the economic lifeline of a country. It is the basic industry for the development of the country and society. Railway transportation is one of the most important ones, and it is at the backbone of the national transportation system. If we do not give more attention and support to the construction of the railway, then the transportation of various materials and personnel of the society will be greatly affected, thus hindering the healthy development of the national economy. Due to the weak overall foundation and backward technology of China's railway industry, the railway transportation industry has become the top priority of state-owned enterprise restructuring. Therefore, this paper introduces the problems existing in China's railway transportation industry, and discusses the ideas of China's railway transportation industry reform. It also discusses the innovation of railway transportation enterprises in terms of technology, business philosophy and internal management methods. Experimental research shows that compared to traditional railway dispatching systems, the innovative railway dispatching system based on the ant colony algorithm model studied in this paper is superior in many aspects, especially in railway task management exceeding 15%, which fully reflects This paper studies the feasibility.
