Summary

In order to evaluate the economy and rationality for the development of high-speed railways (HSRs), and to construct an evaluation method the analysis is generalised. The aim of the first phase of this study was to identify the most important demand potentials for HSRs in Egypt, to compare these potentials amongst each other and with the European potentials of already realized or planned HSR networks. First priorities for the selection of corridors from the market point of view had to be set. Railways have always played a significant role in the development of the wealth creation capabilities of society. This paper highlights the future prospects for HSR. HSR networks have been rapidly expanding in recent years. We focus our attention on comparisons of HSR lines around the world with the proposed HSR line in Egypt, and focus on the intercity transport issues and explore the role of an HSR system to meet the emerging demand. Before identifying and calculating the demand potentials for HSR in Egypt, a comparison of the key figures of traffic demand at a European level has been carried out. The characteristics of HSR, when compared with other competing modes, fit well in the context of developing countries.
