Book High speed Rail in Pennsylvania

Download or read book High speed Rail in Pennsylvania written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study attempts to serve high-speed rail interests in Pennsylvania by addressing three specific high speed rail (HSR)-related issues: (1) changes in HSR technology since approximately the mid-1980s, (2) advancements in intercity passenger demand forecasting since the mid-1980s, and (3) capital financing alternatives for HSR systems. A fourth issue, recent developments in HSR technology on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) of the United States, is also briefly addressed. With respect to financing alternatives for HSR systems, the present study examines financial options grouped by financing sources for capital costs, funding sources for capital costs, and revenue sources for operating costs. There is a brief discussion of the TEA 21 Innovative Financing provisions. There is also a discussion of issues surrounding private sources of financing, including options for using a mixture of private and public-sector financing that varies by stage of project development. Regarding passenger demand forecasting for HSR, the discussion is concerned with advances that have been made in intercity travel demand forecasting since the mid-1980s. The discussion focuses on three topics: theoretical understanding of trip-making behavior; modeling techniques; and data availability, collection, and presentation.

Book High speed Rail

Download or read book High speed Rail written by Petra Todorovich and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Policy Focus Report was a product of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Regional Plan Association and their joint venture America 2050. The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy has been engaged in a series of projects with the Regional Plan Association for more than a decade. The partnership spawned the national initiative known as America 2050, which is aimed at meeting the infrastructure, economic development and environmental challenges of the nation, in preparation for a population increase of about 130 million by 2050. A major focus of America 2050 is the emergence of megaregions - large networks of metropolitan areas, where most of the population growth by mid-century will take place. Examples of megaregions are the Northeast Megaregion, from Boston to Washington, or Southern California, from Los Angeles to Tijuana, Mexico. High-speed rail is capable of linking employment centers and population hubs in corridors up to 600 miles in length in 11 U.S. megaregions.This Policy Focus Report was a product of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Regional Plan Association and their joint venture America 2050.

Book China s High Speed Rail Development

Download or read book China s High Speed Rail Development written by Martha Lawrence and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, China has built 25,000 km of dedicated highspeed railway—more than the rest of the world combined. What can we learn from this remarkable experience? China’s High-Speed Rail Development examines the Chinese experience to draw lessons for countries considering investing in high-speed rail. The report scrutinizes the planning and delivery mechanisms that enabled the rapid construction of the high-speed rail system. It highlights the role of long-term planning, consistent plan execution, and a joint venture structure that ensures active participation of provincial and local governments in project planning and financing. Traffic on China’s high-speed trains has grown to 1.7 billion passengers a year. The study examines the characteristics of the markets for which high-speed rail is competitive in China. It discusses the pricing and service design considerations that go into making high-speed rail services competitive with other modes and factors such as good urban connectivity that make the service attractive to customers. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Chinese experience is the rapid pace of high-quality construction. The report looks at the role of strong capacity development within and cooperation among China Railway Corporation, rail manufacturers, universities, research institutions, laboratories, and engineering centers that allowed for rapid technological advancement and localization of technology. It describes the project delivery structures and incentives for delivering quality and timely results. Finally, the report analyzes the financial and economic sustainability of the investment in high-speed rail. It finds that a developing country can price high-speed rail services affordably and still achieve financial viability, but this requires very high passenger density. Economic viability similarly depends on high passenger density.
