Economics Development Impacts High Speed Rail Tom Kayo TMLT601, I001, Fall 15 American Public University Emmet Fritch December 26, 2015 Abstract This paper premise is the economic development impacts of transportation in general, as examined by Kumares, Sinha & Labi (2007). Multiple studies have revealed that investments in public transportation ultimately drives productivity and economic growth (Kumares, Sinha & Labi, 2007). This paper however will move away from highways…

that a comprehensive financing plan is lacking from the state and the Authority. The proposed bonds would be insufficient for Phase 1 alone putting the rest of the project away from consideration. There is very little clarity on the potential matching funds to be available from federal and local governments. The reliability on private investors for capital funds is questionable approach. The California High Speed Rail Authority has received cautions from the state Senate Transportation and Housing…

The people of Wisconsin who commute from Madison to Milwaukee and vice versa would find a High speed rail line useful for many reasons. Granted most people that commute from Madison to Milwaukee of vice versa aren’t doing it every day. They are generally just doing it once in a while. The technology of high speed rails is relatively simple; it consists of magnetic tracks repelling the train with a polar opposite magnet on the bottom. This creates a surface with little friction; therefore the…

A Case Study on the California High Speed Rail System (CAHSR) - Is It Feasible? By Hardeep Ramesh, MS ISE Engineering Economics (ISE 460) University of Southern California December 3, 2010 Abstract: California High Speed Rail (CHSR) system is a mega project planned by the California High Speed Rail Authority (CA HSRA), connecting the major metropolitan areas of California. The project finalized in mid 2000, is estimated to be one of the most expensive of its kind. It is in the…

Abstract High speed rail (HSR) is a rapidly expanding new transport mode all over the world and is often described as the “transport mode of the future”. This paper discusses definitions of high speed rail, provides an overview of high speed rail development in selected other countries and regions. It then analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of HSR in several different aspects, such as mobility, choice, environmental, safety, cost and regional feasibility. Based on the opportunities presented…

flying cars, high-speed rail is one of the most iconic futuristic technologies discussed today. With great success, European and Asian countries such as Germany, France, Japan and China have been enjoying bullet trains for decades. Japan has been a leading innovator of high-speed trains, and has currently developed a train capable of 315 mph (Shadbolt). This MagLev is revolutionizing public transport and changing how the world view trains forever. The average European high-speed train can travel…

California High Speed Rail High speed rail transportation has become an important issue in California that could potentially help our current transportation system and other environmental issues that need to be dealt with. This is an important issue to look into because currently our transportation system could be a lot more efficient using high speed rail instead of just the current car and air system that we have right now. Because of this there are a lot of potential benefits from the economic…

UK presents an original model of home high-speed rail. A pioneer in the field of the pendulum, it revives a long abandoned this option to equip its longest domestic routes. It leaves its mark to this device by opening multiple circulations. Dependent on the legacy of a physically segmented network by its breaks London loads, it makes the ambitious project of the new railway link between Heathrow and Gatwick a reorganisation tool from the railway geography, bearer of new connections or new routes…
