The following report documents the eighteen month effort by the Colorado Maglev Project (CMP) Team in developing the technical basis for deployment of the CHSST maglev system for use in the Colorado I-70 Corridor from Denver International Airport (DIA) to Eagle County Airport; this route is in excess of 250 kilometers (155 miles) and traverses the most challenging terrain for deployment of any type of transit system anywhere in the United States. The full report includes three sections: the Executive Summary, which is found under separate cover, the Final Report (this document), and the Comprehensive Technical Memorandum available only in electronic format on CD. This Final Report summarizes system requirements based on the route and ridership, the Colorado 200 maglev system specifications including required modifications and improvements to operate in the corridor, required infrastructure including guideway and stations, a Deployment Guide to create the system including the projected capital and operations costs to operate the system, an Operations Plan, and finally, an overview of a security plan necessary to operate the maglev system under the newly established Transportation Security Administration regulations. The Comprehensive Technical Memorandum that accompanies this report provides additional detail, supporting the technical achievements and findings attained throughout this Project effort. The Comprehensive Technical Memorandum includes systems integration data, and winterization and propulsion motor trade studies conducted as part of the Project effort, as well as data on electrification and greenhouse gas emissions.
