The section 'Researches and Publications' includes a UIC report on high speed railway

11/26/2009

The International Railway Union (UIC) released in January of 2009 a report titled 'High speed rail. Fast track to sustainable mobility'. The document is available from now on in our section 'Researches and Publications'. Written in English, it summarises the main aspects forming the high speed railway, its advantages for society and the environment.

The 14-page report summarises in a clear, appealing and very graphic way the most important facts of the high speed railway:

  • High speed railway definition and requirements
  • Development: facts and figures
  • High speed railway serving customers and society
  • High speed railway and the environment
  • Technical aspects (infrastructure, rolling stock and operations)
  • Commercial aspects
  • The cost of high speed railway systems
  • The high speed around the world
  • Principal objectives and activities of the UIC High speed Department
