A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A REMOTE AREA LAND TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT

Abstract

This report is a feasibility study of a remote area land transportation concept consisting of a vehicle-roadway combination. The concept description includes a discussion of the ROTE vehicles and of the required capacity and construction operations for minimal roads. The preliminary assessment of the concept's feasibility includes discussions of costs for (1) road construction and maintenance, (2) three examples, and (3) vehicle operation, and discussion of potential usefulness of the concept for (1) law-enforcement agencies, (2) passenger transportation, and (3) freight hauling. There is a comparison of minimal- and conventional-road investment and return.
