The report examines five major problems in short-haul transportation: break-even analysis, noise, energy, air pollution, and safety. The break-even analysis is applied to both new and existing ground and air systems including TACV, improved rail, autotrain, bus, CTOL, VTOL, and STOL. The noise analysis includes a survey of existing transportation noise impacts, as well as a noise mapping analysis of proposed passenger systems. The noise chapter identifies R&D opportunities and makes recommendations on governmental noise policy. The energy chapter examines energy resources, consumption, and transportation energy efficiencies, and identifies R&D opportunities with particular emphasis on transportation-related opportunities. The air pollution chapter compares current and forecast future emission levels for three modes: TACV, automobile, and CTOL. Transportation safety is examined historically in terms of highway, rail, and aviation safety, and R&D opportunities are identified.
