Economic evaluation and selection of route for new railway Zagreb-Rijeka

National program of railway infrastructure in period 2008 - 2012 put the goal on modernization and construction of modern infrastructure network in pan European corridors inside the territory of Republic Croatia. Railway from Botovo (state border with Hungary) to Rijeka via Zagreb and Karlovac is financial complex task which is anticipate in National program on pan European corridor Vb Budapest–Rijeka. Existing railway on this corridor cannot meet standards of modern rail, so a new railway is planed. Several routes of new railway are set up by technical, technological and traffic conditions. Economic evaluation of these routes is done by Method of internal rate of return and Sensitivity analyze. If these routes are analyzed only in profitability means, the environment conditions are neglected. In order to find route (or routes) that fulfil economic and environment conditions, even they are in conflict, multictireria method is applied. The results of economic evaluation and results of environment study make basis (input data) for route selection. This paper presents the methodology for evaluating the railway routes considering all parameters related to rail project.
