Measures to strengthen the economy and ecology of Eurasian: advanced transport developments

Abstract

Relevance. The urgency of transport modernization is driven by the pressing need to overcome the growing critical contradictions of modern civilization. This includes the risk of sudden climate change, the need to expand transport coverage for a growing population, the development of new, increasingly remote deposits, and the expansion of cargo and waste logistics areas. This also includes the need to improve the quality of life and public health, deliver fresh and clean water, and achieve comprehensive energy conservation and environmental protection.

Aim. To propose a modern engineering plan for modernizing existing freight and passenger infrastructure by incorporating a multimodal continental elevated high-speed transport system with specific, technically feasible new handling and transport solutions.

Results. An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of existing transport systems, their capabilities, and limitations is provided for a wide range of continental climate and landscape conditions. Schemes for organizing new solutions and their economic advantages are presented.

Conclusions. Methods for modernizing transport using proprietary solutions are proposed for organizing a multimodal, highly environmentally friendly transport system, working under the title “Waltz”, for port, transcontinental pipeline, and transcontinental freight and passenger transportation across metropolitan areas and countries. The implementation of these new solutions is highly effective for developing territories across any landscape in Eurasia and other continents, and will also reduce the risk of man-made disasters in transport.
