Effect of Future High Speed Ground Transportation on Airport Expansion Needs in the State of Washington
A high speed ground transportation system is proposed to be built in the State of Washington to connect all regions. The proposed system will be approximately 700 miles in length and would...
HSGT?Competitive or Complimentary to Air Travel
The capacity of existing airports to meet increased travel demand is limited. Utilization of high speed ground transportation as a complimentary mode originating from major hub airports...
Medium Classic Rail Traffic: How to Forecast the New High Speed Rail Traffic
This paper describes the current situation of the transport flows by modes in the international relations between Spain and the rest of Europe. Explains the geographic zoning adopted for...
High-Speed Surface Transportation Cost Estimating
The cost of building and operating high-speed surface transportation (HSST) systems in the United States is a critical factor in determining their feasibility. Costs are difficult to estimate...
The Force Between a Bogie and a Troubled Suspension and Guidance Coil
It is very important for the superconducting LSM Maglev vehicle to maintain the safety. Currents induced in suspension and guidance coils arranged on the side wall of a guide way generate...
Maglev Sensor and Communications System Integration
This paper presents an assessment of the communications and sensor technology integration necessary to assure safety of high-speed transportation on the ground. Candidate architectures...
Safety Hazards of Maglev Guideway and Route Integrity
This paper presents an assessment of safety hazards associated with high-speed transportation on the ground. Hazard sources and consequences are identified through establishment of system...
Concurrent Engineering Planning in HSGT Systems
Why should concurrent engineering concepts and TQM (Total Quality Management) procedures be considered for large scale HSGT (High Speed Ground Transportation) engineering and planning...
Forensic Aspects of Future HSGT
Forensic sciences deal with the relations and application of technical problems in litigation and court procedures. This paper anticipates possible legal actions that may involve the introduction...
Building a Viable Maglev Industry
Transforming the chaotic fragmentation of competing and incompatible magnetic levitation systems into a robust and expanding U.S. industry will provide substantial benefits to established...
Plan for Development and Implementation of a Domestic Maglev Network
This paper discusses magnetic levitation (maglev) transportation technical requirements and methods of capturing associated requirements. Possible architectures and components of a domestic...
High-Speed Rail's Prospects in Canada
This paper reviews the attractiveness of high-speed rail in Canada. It summarizes the findings of studies on the subject by VIA Rail, Canada's national passenger rail corporation. VIA...
Planning for the National High Speed Rail Network in Korea
High speed rail lines are being constructed or planned among other transportation modes in Korea. They are expected to contribute to alleviate already serious intercity traffic congestion...
Application of the Maglev System in Germany
After the unification of Germany in 1991, the Federal Government decided to investigate Maglev links between the old and new Federal States to cope with the considerable increase of East-West...
The Transrapid Maglev System
The Transrapid 300 mph (500 km/hr) magnetically levitated transportation system is ready for revenue application and is under consideration for several sites in the U.S. The maglev system...
ICE-HSR-System?Infrastructure, Rolling Stock, Operation
High-Speed trains such as the Japanese Shinkansen train in operation since 1964, the French TGV (train a grande vitesse) introduced in 1981 and the German ICE (InterCityExpress) running...
Knolle Magnetrans: A Magnetically Levitated Train System
New permanent magnet materials can now withstand repulsion indefinitely without loss of magnetism. Vehicular magnetic levitation occurs when a track and the undersides of vehicles thereon...
