Description

J. Hadden. One of the most important issues in the debate over the viability in the U.S. of high-speed guided ground transport. (HSGGT) systems, which include magnetic levitation & high-speed rail, is the feasibility of using existing right-of-ways (ROWs). A major benefit of shared ROWs would be the substantial amount of time & money saved by minimizing the acquisition of new real estate. The first task in assessing the safety of shared ROWs involved characterizing a baseline HSGGT system. Features of existing HSGGT system corridors helped to define a baseline system. The primary safety issues associated with shared ROWs were then evaluated.
