(HSGGT) systems, which include magnetic levitation and high-speed rail, is the feasibility of using existing right-of-ways (ROWs). A major benefit of shared ROWs would be the substantial amount of time and money saved by minimizing the acquisition of new real estate. The first task in assessing the safety of shared ROWs involved characterizing a baseline HSGGT system. Features of existing HSGGT system corridors helped to define a baseline system. The primary safety issues associated with shared ROWs were then evaluated.

Trains operating at high speeds will pass other trains on adjacent tracks, passengers on station platforms, and other equipment and workers along the wayside. The aerodynamic effects created by a passing train include both pressure and induced airflow which can be a potential hazard to equipment and people in proximity to the passing train. This report assesses the potential hazards created from the aerodynamic effects of passing high-speed trains at speeds of 150 mph. It will specifically address the hazards to window glazing on passenger trains and to people on station platforms. A literature review was conducted and many of the data obtained served as a basis for this study.
