This report contains highlights of research findings developed during the second year of research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the technology of high speed ground transport. The research topics are diverse but can be grouped roughly into areas relating to system operational performance, vehicles including suspension, propulsion and control, and the problems of the infrastructure of an High Speed Ground Transport system. The research is aimed at establishing a basis for design of high speed ground transportation and often treats problems not previously studied for conventional transportation systems. (Author)
