摘要: |
The Magnetic Levitation Feasibility Study evaluates the ability of the 64-km (40-mi)-long and 16-km (10-mi)-wide Baltimore-Washington Corridor to accommodate a system of Maglev guideways and stations. Particular attention is given to locating guideway alignments within four existing transportation rights-of-way: Interstate 95, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the CSX Railroad, and the Amtrak Railroad. Alignments are assessed relative to the criteria established in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 for siting the Maglev prototype demonstration project. Operation of Maglev between Baltimore and Washington was found to significantly increase the passenger-carrying capacity of the corridor while making maximum use of existing rights-of-way. Additionally, travel time between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., will be significantly reduced. Revenue projections were found to be favorable in comparison with operating and capital costs. The initiation of Maglev service at this location has potential for extension of Maglev service along the entire Northeast Corridor. |
