Context of tracked transport in the 1960s-1970s
road traffic continues to display rapid growth tendencies
limited capacity of air transport
technical and economic limits imposed on the further development of railway technology
These circumstances signaled the beginning of the development of a new super-speed system for medium and long distances, to adapt to increasing transport demand
