2 CONTENT The Global Evolution of HSR HSR Success Factors Lessons from the Spanish Experience Maintaining a Vision for the Future Delivery Approach Technical Advancements Application to U.S. High Speed Rail Acknowledgements

3 THE GLOBAL RUSH TO HIGH-SPEED RAIL Growth of High Speed Rail Lines in Kilometers Since 1964

4 GLOBAL HSR DEPLOYMENT Total Miles in World V > 150 km/h in operation V < 125 km/h in operation High speed in project In Operation 8,000 In Construction 5,000 Planned 12,000 Total in operation ,000 China plans to have 16,000 miles in service by 2030.

5 HIGH SPEED RAIL SUCCESS FACTORS Political support & funding Organization & delivery approach Network Connectivity Systems Integration Stations & Facilities Technical capabilities Urban Planning Rolling Stock Funding & Financing HSR Service Planning Forecasting Ticketing & Revenue Operations, Maintenance & Management Engineering

6 EUROPE S PLAN FOR GROWTH The European rail system includes conventional and true high speed rail lines, with long range pa plans for improvement and expansion Ongoing g plans to upgrade most lines to min. 250 km/hr by 2025 Source: UIC North America Regional Congress (NARC), October 3-6, New York, USA.

11 IN SPAIN, POLITICAL SUPPORT OVER THE LONG HAUL EU level HSR as a sustainable mode of transport [White paper-2001]. Funding [FEDER-Cohesion-RTE-T] National level : Gonzalez s government [socialist] First line: Madrid-Sevilla : Aznar s government [conservative] Decision to build Madrid-Barcelona; Madrid-Valladolid today: Zapatero s government [socialist] Continued support for HSR vision

17 CRITICAL HSR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Interoperability Engineering standards Regulatory standards d

18 CRITICAL HSR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Specialized technical solutions: High speed train dynamic effects Aerodynamic effects Horizontal forces Efficient construction methods: Tunnels Long, high structures and viaducts

19 ADAPTIVE TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS HSR lines require specific structural solutions: Long viaducts Tll Tall piers Great horizontal forces (breaking) Rombach type bridge: well suited for specific c HSR requirements e e Bridges > 1,000 meters Height: up to < 80 meters Great horizontal loads (only in HSR) North America Regional Congress (NARC), October 3-6, New York, USA.

20 NEW RAILWAY ACCESS TO THE NORTH Madrid Segovia Valladolid /Medina del Campo, Spain AECOM provided preliminary design & CM for 2.1 km long high-speed rail corridor, including one viaduct of 1,755 m, the longest viaduct constructed in Spain by the method of self-bearing formwork - the second in Europe. Also provided final design & CM for track along 2.3 km high-speed rail segment to Madrid. Construction Cost: M ($53.07 M) Client: ADIF
