Panel conconvened by U S Dept of Commerce Technical Advisory Board in 1966 was asked to survey technical feasibility of novel modes of high-speed ground transportation (HSGT) systems and recommend research programs necessary for development of such systems; HSGT systems, for purpose of study, were defined as operating in, or on, fixed guideways at intercity cruising speeds of at least 300 mph (482.8 km/hr); panel considered creation of HSGT system to be technically attainable and recommended multifaceted research and development program; specific research areas recommended were those needed to provide data necessary to decision to construct HSGT system and to select from among alternative system concepts; highest priorities were assigned to system simulations and transportation data studies, resolution of contact vs fluid support question, experimental studies of aerodynamics of vehicles traveling in tubes at high speeds, development of new tunneling technology, and transfer of electrical energy by contact rails and collectors at HSGT speeds.
