Does High-Speed Rail Network Access Enhance Cities’ Innovation Performance?

The Portuguese High Speed Rail Network

This paper describes the implementation of the Portuguese High Speed Rail (HSR) Network. The business model developed by RAVE for the PPP's related with the HSR infrastructure is described and discussed. Following a recently awarded research project (EXPRESS) aimed at studying the strategic aspects related with the implementation of HSR is presented and its aspects more directly related with HS...

Europe’s High Speed Rail Network: Maturation and Opportunities

High speed rail is a good example of a complex social-technical system, it combines high technology with social institutions to provide transport service. However, in spite of advances in HSR technology, HSR service is operated in much the same manner as traditional passenger rail service – an unsuccessful long-term business model. This research argues that HSR needs disruptive innovation to cr...

High speed OFDM-CDMA optical access network.

We demonstrate the feasibility of a 16 × 3.75 Gb/s (60 Gb/s aggregate) Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-code division multiple access passive optical network for next-generation access applications. 3.75 Gb/s PON channel transmission over 25 km single-mode fiber shows 0.1 dB dispersion and 0.9 dB crosstalk penalties. Advantages of the system include high capacity, enhanced spectral ef...
