Abstract
This research paper is about the renewal, improvement and development of railroad transportation industry and planning for its contribution to the national and regional economic development. A theoretical exploration provided a guide for the necessary assessments. A research method based on the case study of almost all elements of the Iran railroad transportation system has been performed. The implementation of the observation by means of some indicators proves that hinders shall be removed to achieve maximum profit of the rail transport industry. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis aided to evaluate the features of the industry. The analysis revealed that the present system of the railroad transportation is unable to assist the national macro economy. The failure corresponds to scarcely investing, funding, managing, infrastructure, operating conditions, and international/regional trade limitations. However, with the help of the improvement plans the prospects for the rail transport development will be pretty satisfactory due to the strategic Geo-policy, climate, nature, and trade potentials. A linear programming for the rail transport industry (LPRTI) has been provided to suggest the ways for maximizing of the rail transport system’s profits to support the national macro economy. The outcome of this research paper assists the regional/national economies with the help of a successful railroad transportation industry everywhere in the world.
Highlights
This paper is to see how does the railroad transportation industry contribute to the growth and development of national economy in Iran at the present recession time? Iran’s railroad transportation network is visible in the following figure.Figure1: Network map of Iran railroadsSource: Iran railroads companyAs the map displays, Iran is a neighbor of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenian, Turkey, Iraq, the Caspian Sea, the Oman Sea, and the Persian Gulf
This paper argued that in the darkness of recent crises in Iran’s economy, utilization of its railroad transportation potentials is a light
In which circumstances and with help of which improvements the railroad transportation industry assists the national economy towards growth and development have been analyzed in this research
Summary
This paper is to see how does the railroad transportation industry contribute to the growth and development of national economy in Iran at the present recession time? Iran’s railroad transportation network is visible in the following figure. This paper is to see how does the railroad transportation industry contribute to the growth and development of national economy in Iran at the present recession time? Iran is a neighbor of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenian, Turkey, Iraq, the Caspian Sea, the Oman Sea, and the Persian Gulf. It is at the intersection of major Asian, Middle Eastern, and European countries and trade routes. A thorough observation is essential for the characterization of the railroad transport role in Iran. This methodology implies the determination of an integral quantitative criterion for the industry quality. The methods applied by this paper are a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis, a linear programming for railroad transportation industry (LPRTI), a system analysis procedure, the applied mathematics and some other classic research methods
