Prioritization of high-speed rail projects

Abstract

In recent years, intercity transportation has gained momentum towards high-speed rail in Turkey. Ankara-Konya, Ankara-Eskişehir and Istanbul lines were opened for high-speed transportation in this area. There are still high-speed train lines under construction. At the same time, there are also various high-speed rail projects that will be started soon and are in the designing process. However, these projects require a big budget. Because of this, it is not possible to carry out all the projects and some projects are carried out gradually. In this study, prioritization of the high-speed rail projects was done by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As a result of prioritization made through criteria determined by literature review and expert opinion, evaluations are made.
