HSH Ireland 235km Dublin to Shannon 13 April 2021-lrJustin Sutton
Preliminary Proposal to build 235km of Hydrogen Super Highway Elevated Rail System infrastructure for Ireland connecting Dublin International Airport with Shannon International Airport.
The HSH Elevated Rail System has the potential to exceed 890 Kilowatts of Photovoltaic Power per solar-hour for every Kilometer of rail installed (at noon on a clear sunny summer day).
A system of 235 kilometers as here described should generate as much as (890Kw/Km/Hr * 235km) 209.15MW/Hour at max solar potential.
Using a solar exposure cut-off number of only 5 hours of solar exposure per day the system is projected to exceed 1 GW/Day.
The surplus energy is stored in bulk hydrogen production and other forms of energy storage and distribution.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Rail Revival: NCITEC White Paper Background - CAITWaheed Uddin
Major problems with Mississippi Gulf Coast cities include the following: high congestion on highways during peak hours, increased volume of commercial traffic and safety risks to other auto motor traffic, high level of vehicle emissions, and lack of public transportation options for the underserved. Coastal communities face extreme traffic congestion during hurricane evacuations, which is a major hurdle for federal, state and local emergency management agencies.
The primary objective of this project and white paper is to propose sustainable rail strategies for serving commuters transportation to major employers and patrons/visitors to casinos, beaches, and other places of tourist attraction within the coastal highway corridors.
The proposed commuter rail framework integrates intercity passenger rail service with local economies. Passenger rail/commuter intercity rail service is evaluated for East-West (E-W) Coastal corridor south of I-10 and North-South (N-S) Corridor along east of US-49 on the existing freight rail corridors. Technical feasibility and economic competitiveness evaluation are presented, which show that breakeven can be achieved within 6-7 years considering only direct revenues.

Title: Transportation Studies in the 21st Century: Incorporating all Modes
Track: Sustain
Format: 90 minute panel
Abstract: In the 21st century, the basic purpose of transportation studies needs to change from making it easier to drive to giving people options other than driving. This session will present case studies of alternatives to the auto-dominated Level of Service traffic impact studies in order to better address bicycling, transit and walking.

The Rockefeller Foundation and the Pratt Center for Community Development have coalesced around a transit solution called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)—a high-performance system that combines the permanence, speed, and reliability of rail, with the flexibility of buses, at a fraction of the cost of a subway system. In the Foundation and Pratt’s report, Mobility and Equity for New York’s Transit-Starved Neighborhoods: The Case for Full-Featured Bus Rapid Transit, BRT is discussed as an affordable, reliable, and practical way of getting outer borough residents from point A to point B.
In 2017-8, Michael Burrill forwarded his ideas on how cities can encourage Smart Growth and fund regional rail transit lines - without raising taxes - to public officials and interested citizens in several cities. Attached are his latest slides that use tax revenues from Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD) in Cincinnati as an example. Most other regions can anticipate similar results - with revenues from TOD at least five to 20 times the cost of new light rail lines.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

1. “Light rail has the capacity to move
16,000 people per hour. A single
general purpose freeway lane can
move just 2,000 cars per hour. “
Light Rail vs. Freeway Lane Claim
By Sound Transit
1. Capacity is not the same as number of actual riders
2. This is “crush” capacity – unheard of for light rail
3. Compared with one person per car. No buses, no
carpools
4. Buses in dedicated lanes can carry far more people than
light rail and can be ramped up to meet demand.
Facts
2. SWIFT Bus in Snohomish County
BRT “lite”
210/26/2016
• 16.7 miles
• Everett to 205th in Shoreline
• $32 million = $2 million/mile
(100 to 250 times less per mile than light rail)
• 1 mile of the U-link light rail could have paid for 250 miles of
Swift1 service
• 20% faster compared to regular bus
(peak speed similar to Central Link light rail)
• 12 – 20 min. frequency
3. THERE IS NO PLAN BY WSDOT, OUR
REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCY OR
SOUND TRANSIT TO ADDRESS
CONGESTION
“… PSRC has engaged with WSDOT and flagged the
topic for consideration as part of the scope of work
for the upcoming transportation update”
Response from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to 23 current
and former elected officials’ letter.
8.2.2016
4. We Can Go Faster, Farther, Sooner By Building on What
Works Best For Our Region
1. Continue investing in our high capacity, affordable, rapid bus system
that covers the whole Region within years not decades.
2. Finish the HOV system and commit to policies that keep it functioning
3. Realize the extraordinary potential of carpool and vanpool programs.
4. Recognize that new technologies will change the way we get around
5. Maintain our existing roads and bridges and fix the choke points that
lead to congestion
6. Spend money on the simple sidewalk, safe crosswalk and bike
path.
7. Identify real goals and performance measures and allow objective
analysis of the alternatives.
8. Put directly elected people in charge
5. Subsidizing Light Rail Is Like
Subsidizing The Landline Telephone
