How 120 MPH Tunnels Will Eliminate Traffic Problems

  • Mumbai, India

    Navigating the congested streets of Mumbai often entails prolonged commute times, prompting many individuals to maintain apartments within the city center. However, the implementation of Transportation Tunnels offers a new solution, allowing commuters to comfortably reside outside the city center while still maintaining a feasible daily commute. By offering efficient vehicular conduits, these tunnels also promise to notably diminish traffic congestion on surface roads. This improvement in the road infrastructure stands to benefit both private motorists and commercial delivery services alike.

  • San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge

    Commuting from Concord to San Francisco via surface freeways typically requires over an hour of travel time. Conversely, utilizing Transportation Tunnels for the same route can significantly reduce this duration to approximately 14 minutes. Each tunnel has the capacity to accommodate the equivalent of three surface freeway lanes, thus facilitating expedited travel for commuters. This dual benefit of swift tunnel commutes and alleviated congestion on surface freeways enhances overall transportation efficiency.

  • Beijing, China

    In Beijing, China, congestion is a frequent problem, with occasional occurrences of extreme traffic jams lasting several days. Notably, the city's freeways, some exceeding 10 lanes in width, have struggled to mitigate this challenge. However, the introduction of a single Transportation Tunnel beneath these congested routes has the capacity to accommodate three lanes of surface freeway traffic, allowing vehicles to travel at a speed of 120 miles per hour. With the implementation of two such tunnels, capable of facilitating a total of six lanes of traffic, the prospect of eliminating future traffic gridlocks is very likely. This is because minute by minute reports of heavy traffic will encourage increased use of the tunnels.

How 120 MPH Toll Tunnels Will Improve Shipping?

  • Panama Canal

    For transporting goods from China to the eastern states of the US, container ships are the predominant means of transportation, necessitating passage through the Panama Canal. One primary rationale behind this choice is the favorable cost per ton mile compared to alternative freight transport methods. Despite their relatively slow pace, cargo ships remain economically advantageous due to their cost efficiency. However, the emergence of Transportation Tunnels is anticipated to offer a compelling alternative, featuring lower operational costs and the ability to transport containers at a speed of 120 miles per hour (193 kilometers per hour). Consequently, this innovation holds the potential to significantly reduce transit times, enabling containers to be delivered to ports on the West Coast of the US and swiftly delivered to their eastern destinations via Transportation Tunnel trucking faster than the time required by container ships.

  • Eliminate Long Haul Trucking Labor

    Approximately 30% of the expenses associated with long-haul, cross-country trucking pertain to the labor costs for employing truck drivers. However, within extended-distance tunnels, the driving process becomes fully automated, eliminating the need for human intervention. Instead, a computer system assumes control of the vehicle's operations. Moreover, within Transportation Tunnels, freight trucks traverse long distances at 120 miles per hour (193 kilometers per hour). These trucks will be programmed to navigate across the country to predetermined destinations. Notably, the adoption of this technology promises a significant reduction in “fuel” consumption, or more precisely, “energy consumption”, owing to the diminished aerodynamic resistance experienced by trucks within the tunnels. The energy savings derive from a steady, blower-driven tailwind of 90 miles per hour. Trucks travelling at 120 miles per hour only experience a 30 mile per hour headwind.

  • Hydroponic Farms to Feed East Coast

    Certain individuals are opting to cultivate fresh produce, such as lettuce, utilizing innovative methods like aquaponics or hydroponics. An optimal geographic region within the contiguous United States for such endeavors lies in New Mexico near the Texas Panhandle. This area presents an advantageous proposition due to the remarkably affordable land prices stemming from limited rainfall. Notably, aquaponic and hydroponic systems require merely 5% of the water typically utilized in conventional lettuce farming, rendering this location particularly conducive to such agricultural practices.

    The construction of a Transportation Tunnel along the I-40 corridor, historically known as Route 66, would facilitate the swift transportation of fresh produce and other goods. This strategic infrastructure investment would enable the expedited loading of produce onto high-speed trucks, ensuring overnight delivery to stores and restaurants along the East Coast.
