\u2018...an excellent reference work for anyone who is interested in finding out how a railway line is designed and constructed. By also including detailed analysis of aspects such as traffic forecasts, operating costs and infrastructure charging, it provides a very thorough view of railway management and engineering.\u2019<\/p>\n

In order to meet the challenge of increasing competition in all sectors of transportation, railways are restructuring their management and technology. New methods of organization are being introduced, commercial and tariff policies are changing radically, new high-speed tracks are being constructed and high-comfort rolling stock vehicles introduced. Awareness of environmental issues and the search for greater safety gives the railways a new role within the transportation system. Meanwhile, methods of analysis have significantly evolved, principally due to computer ap<\/p>\n
