| dc.description.abstract | With the steady increase in population throughout the United
States, the issue of transportation is becoming more of a problem.
With how prevalent personal car ownership is American
culture, the number of vehicles on the road are drastically increasing,
contributing to a rise in pollution. Aircraft flying overhead
also have a large impact on the environment with the
sheer amount of people that need to travel long distance for
either work or pleasure.
The incorporation of electrodynamic suspension rail systems
spanning across the United States will allow a substitute for both
automotive and airplane travel by reintroducing a third option
for moving people/cargo. This third option for travel will help
to reduce pollution caused by car and plane travel by relying
primarily on green energy. This thesis research will outline where
this new system will be located in order to achieve maximum effectiveness.
The research will examine the towns and cities that
are the most traveled to in the United States as well as which
locations would be conducive to a new high speed rail system. | en_US |
