Estimate for Building on 500 Kilometers of Rail
Interstate Traveler estimated cost
$10 Million / Km ($16 Million / Mile)
Estimated cost to integrate on 500 Kilometers
500 km * $10USD/Kilometer = $5 Billion USD
Estimated Solar Grid on 500 Kilometers of Rail
3280 ft/mile * 16 feet in width = 52,480 sqft / kilometer
52,480 sqft / kilometer * 500 Kilometers = 26,240,000 Square Feet of Photo Voltaics
Estimated Photo Voltaic Performance
20 Watts / Square Foot / Hour (est 20% efficient)
Estimated Total Solar Grid Performance per hour:
26,240,000 * 20 = 524,800,000 Watts/Hour or about 524.8 Megawatts / Hour
Net Energy Production Estimated Annual Energy Production for 500 Kilometers of
rail (6 hours / day *365)
524,800,000 watts/hour * 6 = 3,148,800,000 watts / day * 365 =
1,149,312,000,000 watts / year
1.149 Billion kWh/year ( 0.12 % of the National Energy Demand)
System would support a starting number of 1000 Transports (2 every 1
Kilometer) at 100 passengers each for a simultaneous passenger capacity of
100,000 pedestrians.
Estimated Revenue on Transit fee of $0.05/minute/person >>> 100,000 * .05 =
$5,000.00/minute or $300,000.00 / hour during rush hour.
Toyko to Osaka Alpha System Estimated at 330 Miles or 534 Kilometers
Japanese Alpha System
The Tokyo to Osaka Alpha System would likely include the following eight (8)
Prefectures for an estimated 330 Miles or 531 Kilometers.
