Title: NEW IDEAS FOR HIGH-SPEED RAIL SYSTEMS. AN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT OF THE HIGH-SPEED RAIL IDEA PROGRAM, JANUARY 2003
Accession Number: 00939716
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Abstract: This annual report presents a summary of progress on investigations conducted as part of the Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) program for High-Speed Rail (HSR). The HSR-IDEA program is funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). HSR-IDEA projects are selected for their potential role in upgrading the existing U.S. rail system to accommodate operations up to 125 mph (201 km/h) and beyond in support of FRA's next-generation HSR technology development program. This report is organized in the following sections: Operations, Communications, and Train Control; Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety; Track and Structures; and Rolling Stock. Since its creation in 1997, approximately 14% of HSR-IDEA awards have been to small companies (fewer than 10 employees), 48% to larger research, manufacturing, and consulting companies, and 38% to universities. HSR-IDEA has made awards to about 25% of the proposals it has received.
