Dear UTSG member,
We are conducting a survey and your response would be greatly appreciated..
WHY? Research is necessary to evaluate new transport systems and this project intends to appraise the concept of Continuous Railway Systems (CRS) as a transport alternative to improve high speed rail sustainability. In this sense, new evaluation tools are needed to consider the benefits and impacts arising from the innovative technology of docking for CRS to be achieved. As background material you may request our paper on CRS presented at the 10th International Conference on the Application of Advanced Technologies in Transportation held in Athens last year.
HOW? The methodology adopted to conduct the present research is based on a simplified Delphi technique and your expert advice is sought only for this survey. The survey comprises 20 questions and it will take just few minutes to complete. It is designed so that you may move forward and backward with no compulsory answers; thus you may skip a question and answer it later, or leave it blank if you are not confident responding to it.
WHERE? Please find the survey at the following location: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Xfjx0wAjahEdtBUq9ktV3w_3d_3d
NOTE: All responses will be treated in confidence, with the responses viewed at an overall level. This project has been awarded ethical clearance and if you have any issue you may want to discuss please contact us to obtain the informed consent sheet.
LANGUAGE: The survey has been designed in English, however we will be happy to provide you with a survey translated in one of the following languages: Italian, German, French and Spanish, if required.
ALSO: If you feel that somebody else might be interested in filling out this survey, please let us know at [log in to unmask]
