Staff Recommendation Page 2 of 7 O’Hare Express System
Agenda Item No. 7.2 MEMORANDUM To: CMAP Board and MPO Policy Committee From: CMAP Staff Date: March 6, 2019 Re: Proposed Amendment to ON TO 2050 – O’Hare Express System The City of Chicago has requested to amend the ON TO 2050 comprehensive plan to add the proposed O’Hare Express System to the list of fiscally constrained projects. The purpose of this memo is to present the staff’s recommendation whether to amend the plan by adding this project. The full staff analysis of the O’Hare Express System (OES) was released for public comment from January 25-February 25, 2019. This memo draws from that analysis to assess support for ON TO 2050. A summary of public comment is provided. Amendments to ON TO 2050 are expected to be occasional and to address projects with a significant change in funding or development status, warranting a new evaluation. Amendments undergo the same analysis and public discussion as projects identified in the plan development process. Selected projects should substantially implement ON TO 2050 by addressing current needs, improving travel over the long term, and having positive impacts on plan priorities. An amendment must also meet fiscal constraint requirements. This memo and other aspects of the amendment process are described in a November 9, 2018, memo to the CMAP Transportation Committee.1 Project description The OES project aims to provide express transportation service between O’Hare International Airport (O’Hare) and downtown Chicago. The Chicago Infrastructure Trust (CIT), in partnership with the City of Chicago, selected The Boring Company to advance to exclusive 1 Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, “ON TO 2050 Regionally Significant Projects: Proposed amendment process,” November 2018, https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/944935/CmteMemo_RSPAmendmentProcess.pdf. -

Calculated Estimation of Railway Wheels Equivalent Conicity Influence on Critical Speed of Railway Passenger Car
MATEC Web of Conferences 157, 03006 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201815703006 MMS 2017 Calculated estimation of railway wheels equivalent conicity influence on critical speed of railway passenger car Juraj Gerlici1,*, Rostyslav Domin2, Ganna Cherniak2, Tomáš Lack1 1University of Žilina, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Transport and Handling Machines, 010 26 Žilina, Slovak Republic 2Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, Department of Rail Transport, 93400 Sewerodonetsk, Ukraine Abstract. The article presents the results of determining the equivalent conicity characterizing the geometric interaction of wheels and rails on 1520 mm track. The cases of interactions of rails and wheelsets, wheels of which have different profiles, are considered. The computer model of the motion speed of the passenger car is developed. According to the results of computer simulation, critical speeds for the bogie moving through the tracks of indented gauge are received. Based on the results of the simulation analysis, the significant dependence of the value of the equivalent conicity on the critical speed is confirmed. The necessity of considering the limit values of equivalent conicity in tests of high-speed rolling stock is emphasized. Keywords: railway wheels, equivalent conicity, critical speed, passenger vehicle 1 Introduction The increase of speed of passenger trains up to 160-200 km/h brings new technological level on the Ukrainian railways. Cars of high-speed trains must fully comply with international requirements, both in the level of comfort, and in terms of safety. In this regard, the task of ensuring the stability of motion of the high-speed rolling stock must be resolved as a matter of priority. -

The Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914. -

Hyperloop : Cutting Through the Hype Roseline Walker HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH the HYPE
Hyperloop : Cutting through the hype Roseline Walker HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH THE HYPE 2 HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH THE HYPE Hyperloop: Cutting through the hype Abstract This paper critically examines Hyperloop, a new mode of transportation where magnetically levitated pods are propelled at speeds of up to 760mph within a tube, moving on-demand and direct from origin to destination. The concept was first proposed by Elon Musk in a White Paper ‘Hyperloop Alpha’ in 2013 with a proposed route between Los Angeles and San Francisco. A literature review has identified a number of other companies and countries who are conducting feasibility studies with the aim to commercialise Hyperloop by 2021. Hyperloop is a faster alternative to existing transnational rail and air travel and would be best applied to connect major cities to help integrate commercial and labour markets; or airports to fully utilise national airport capacity. Hyperloop’s low-energy potential could help alleviate existing and growing travel demand sustainably by helping to reduce congestion and offering a low carbon alternative to existing transport modes. However, there are potential issues related to economics, safety and passenger comfort of Hyperloop that require real-world demonstrations to overcome. The topography in the UK presents a key challenge for the implementation of Hyperloop and its success is more likely oversees in countries offering political /economic support and flat landscapes. This paper offers an independent analysis to determine the validity of commercial claims in relation to travel time; capacity; land implications; energy demand; costs; safety; and passenger comfort and highlights some key gaps in knowledge which require further research. -

Department of Energy |January 2021 [ This page is intentionally left blank] Effect of Hyperloop Technologies on Electric Grid and Transportation Energy | Page i Department of Energy |January 2021 Executive Summary Hyperloop technology, initially proposed in 2013 as an innovative means for intermediate- range or intercity travel, is now being developed by several companies. Proponents point to potential benefits for both passenger travel and freight transport, including time-savings, convenience, quality of service and, in some cases, increased energy efficiency. Because the system is powered by electricity, its interface with the grid may require strategies that include energy storage. The added infrastructure, in some cases, may present opportunities for grid- wide system benefits from integrating hyperloop systems with variable energy resources.
