'Caterpillar train' concept is aimed at coastal cities
----
With subway systems being potentially vulnerable to flooding due to rising sea levels, would elevated trains be a welcome solution?
That’s the idea behind one of the winning ideas of MIT’s recent Climate CoLab contest that sought proposals for what to do about climate change.
The judges’ choice and popular choice winners for the transportation category came from an Indian Railways employee, Dr. Ashwani Kumar, who first came up with his “Caterpillar Train” concept while earning his PhD at MIT. It was selected from among 500 submitted entries.
