Abstract
In this paper a techno – economic model for selection of intercity high speed rail transportation based on the specific characteristics of the country is presented. Costs and benefits of high speed railway system has been estimated on the actual data. To estimate the passenger traffic volume of the route as the main variable to evaluate direct benefit. The Analytical Hierarchical Process was applied. To estimate the indirect benefits some variables such as the value of time, energy saving and level of service are taken into account. Costs and benefits of the system were compared based on the Net Present Value Method. To evaluate the proposed model, the Tehran – Isfahan high speed railing which is at the early stage of construction was selected as the case study.
