High-speed Ground Transportation System
The high-speed rail ground transportation system (HSGT) is a
concept developed to meet the challenges of the increasing demands of passenger
transportation and recover their share of traffic from road and other modes of
transport. The details and developments of the high-speed rail system are
presented in Tables 32.1 and 32.2, respectively.
Table 32.1 Details of the
high-speed rail system
In the year 2000-01, HSGT operations stretched
over a distance of around 4900 km across the world and work on another 680 km
was in progress or in the planning stages in various countries.
