Abstract
This paper summarized a project that addressed intercity transportation planning in Egypt. A primary product of this research was the design and development of the Egyptian Intercity Transportation Model, which simulates transportation performance and costs in highway, railway, and waterways systems subject to specified investment, maintenance, operating, and pricing policies. The technical concepts and relationships incorporated within the intercity model were also been described. Although the policies analyzed in this paper focused on the railroad, and were limited to the specific objective of increasing rail’s market share and viability, the diversity of the policies analyzed should indicate the power of and flexibility of the model to treat a side range of investment, maintenance, operating and pricing alternatives in the highway, railway, and waterway modes.
