Research presented in the report found that economic growth, technology, adaptability and on-time completion prove the most critical success factors in the first year of HSR operation.

Key Points: 
  • Research presented in the report found that economic growth, technology, adaptability and on-time completion prove the most critical success factors in the first year of HSR operation.
  • Success factors also varied widely by region:
    Europe’s primary success factors included a reduction in air/vehicle traffic, use of the latest technology, and future adaptability.
  • For the Asia and Pacific region, on-time completion, low environmental impact, and social benefits comprised the top key success factors.
  • The Company’s work includes California High-Speed Rail, HS1 in the UK, and Taiwan High-Speed Rail.

Medify's MA-40 and MA-50 air purifiers, designed for commercial and residential applications, were found to remove 99.99% of airborne particles related to COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in as little as 30 minutes at its highest speed.

Key Points: 
  • Medify's MA-40 and MA-50 air purifiers, designed for commercial and residential applications, were found to remove 99.99% of airborne particles related to COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in as little as 30 minutes at its highest speed.
  • The MA-40 and MA-50 air purifiers from Medify are equipped with an ozone-free ionizer and true HEPA filter and are designed to reduce airborne volume of bacteria, viral particles, mold and fungal spores, and other airborne particles in controlled room air.
  • At both speeds and against different organisms, Medify air purifiers were found to reduce viable bioaerosol concentrations of viruses.
  • Medify Air purifiers are equipped with HEPA H13 filters which remove 99.9% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns in size, which is smaller than the size of a COVID virus particle.
