Abstract
High-speed rail (HSR) is the technology that allows trains to run
at a speed up to 350 km/hr. This study examines the economic viability of the proposed Cairo-Aswan high-speed line. The
framework identifies the prospective costs of the project and its
benefits. The evaluation of different types of benefits and costs
includes a sequence of analytical procedures by applying a CostBenefit Analysis (CBA) to include all costs and benefits. The results show that the project has a positive Net Present Value (NPV) up to $10 billion. A sensitivity analysis is performed on
operating cost, ticket price, and passenger flow. Thereafter, a
model for calculating the number of trains is deduced and converted into a Nomo-graph based on annual passengers, train
speed, number of train seats, and line length by linking these factors to each other. To verify the developed model, five cases with different parameters are examined.
