Abstract:This project takes a broad look at the concept of livability--broadly defined--and the role of intercity passenger rail systems in creating viable sustainable communities. The geographic venues the authors have considered include California and the Northeast Corridor of the United States. The research considers many issues. These include: the use of shared infrastructure to create a viable and affordable rail network; the effective measurement of performance (e.g. schedule adherence) and its role in creating demand for intercity high-speed rail systems; the concept of capacity pricing and allocation in creating an economically balanced rail network; the multi-scale considerations in developing intercity rail systems that effectively interface with regional and urban transportation systems. This research, taken collectively, includes methodological advances. This includes adding modules to the CLIOS Process (to study Complex Large-Scale Integrated Open Sociotechnical Systems) to consider such concepts as advanced stakeholder analysis, multi-criteria, multi-stakeholder decision making under uncertainty, and creating strategy vectors that properly weigh different performance criteria.
