UST: News

After 50 years in the world will be about 50 million kilometers of roads (currently around 35 million km of roads). Of them on the second level - about 40 million km.

Due to their technical and economic advantages 90% of them will be built on the string technologies. Including no less than 10 million km of roads have to be high speed, with speed 500 km per hour. In turn, 1% of these roads should be ultra-fast - with speed 1.000 km per hour in a string vacuum tube.

The greatest need for such transport market - in countries with large populations (the first 7 countries - China, India, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria), and in countries with a large territory (the first 7 countries - Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, Australia, India).

50% of the world market (urban, high-speed, intercity passenger and freight transportation) will be able to occupy one company-leader, who created this business. (A similar experience in the history of transport took place - the company "Boeing", the former saw-mill, was able to occupy about 50% of its segment of the world market). When the average cost of all types of string roads, equal to 2.5 million USD/km (rolling stock, infrastructure and road itself), the investment cost of this market will reach USD 90 trillion USD.

For the use of 50% of the strings roads will earn 1 dollar a day for each person of the planet. Or 3 trillion dollars per year. You can earn on power lines and multichannel digital lines, combined with string roads. The transition of land transport at the "second level" will give mankind significantly greater socio-economic effect than the transition from a wired to a mobile phone, which we see everywhere today.

2. Stages of creation the world transport market of "second level"

2.1. Construction of the test sites of transport systems with all necessary infrastructure (including automated control system), rolling stock and relevant string roads of "second level". Demonstration of the commercial product. International certification of this product:

UST high-speed intercity system - test section length of 30 km (for 500 km per hour). This requires USD 175 million and 3 years;

UST city system - test section length of 3 km (for 150 km per hour). This requires USD 75 million and 2.5 years;

UST freight system for transportation of industrial cargo (ore, coal, etc.) - test section length of 1 km. This requires USD 50 million and 2 years.

2.2. Attraction of investments. The first major investments will be possible to attract a year later, when the working documentation will be ready. Then, as the construction of test sites (before certification of Technology), an increasing number of Customers will believe in the future of the Technology. The some number of Customers will do pre-orders and partially to finance the works to reduce future costs.

As soon as the test sites will be carried out certification, from the international market will be growing number of orders on targeted infrastructure projects.

3. Global resource advantages of UST

Resource saving humanity during the implementation of the proposed program in comparison with traditional approaches (motorways, high-speed railways, magnetic levitation trains, monorail roads):

Saving financial resources - more than USD 1.000 trillion;

Reduction of land acquisition for roads - an area larger than the area of Germany, France and the United Kingdom combined;

Saving energy (fuel) of oil equivalent - more than 10 billion tons a year in the established network of UST roads;

Savings of steel and other metals during the creation of a network of UST roads - more than 10 billion tons;

Savings of concrete, reinforced concrete and asphalt - more than 100 billion cubic meters;

Decrease of earthworks - more than 1 trillion cubic meters.

4. Geopolitical advantages

Who will build the communication network (transport, energy, communications), connecting with each other towns, cities, regions, countries, continents, - who will rule the world.

Socio-economic effects for humanity (for the entire 21^st century):

by reducing the loss of lives on the roads and reduce disability in traffic accidents - more than USD 200 trillion;

due to the return of land and fertile soil, which busy the roads of "first level" - more than USD 100 trillion;

by reducing the consumption of non-renewable and limited resource on the planet - at least USD 300 trillion;

by saving energy (fuel) for road operations - more than USD 200 trillion;

by improving the local and global environment - at least USD 100 trillion.
