  • Cost-Benefit Analysis of Kirkuk Sulymaniya Railway Project
    Journal of Engineering and Development, Vol. 17, No.2, 2013, ISSN 1813‐ 7822 Cost-Benefit Analysis of Kirkuk Sulymaniya Railway Project Lect. Dr. Ali J. Kadhim Lect. Dr.Mohmmad B. Abdljabar Highway and Transportation Dep College of Engineering Univ. of Mustansiriyah Lect. Shatha S. Kareem Highway and Transportation Dep College of Engineering Univ. of Mustansiriyah Abstract The railway network is considered one of the major stone in the economic skeleton in most countries. Herein, the user benefit was investigated when a new railway track is to be installed between Kirkuk and Sulymaniya cities in the north of Iraq. The operating costs of the new railway line are compared with the existing transportation modes that depend only on multilane highway between the two cities. The analysis was done using the related parameters that involved in the cost benefit procedures, beside that this project have the ability of joining Iran with Iraq and consequently joining the Iraqi railways. The results show that when the construction and other initial costs are added the economic evaluation is negative and results no user benefit, while in the real world there are impacts on the development of the society when such transportation projects are installed. This paper concluded that there is a great user benefit in the proposed project when the operating, accidents, time saving costs and the ecological effects are considered, with the excluding of the initial costs as in the case of the roadway construction. This study aims to understanding the effect of adding a new mode of travel (railway travel) and compare its effect with the existing modes (roadway travel) by using the cost-benefit analysis.

    Lecture 1 MSc Transportation Engineering Railroad Engineering College of Engineering University of Babylon Introduction to Railway Engineering • Railway Mode Of Transport • Early Beginnings • Railways in Iraq Lecturer : Prof. Dr. Hussein A. Ewadh 2017-2018 • Classification Schemes for Transportation Engineering Railways: Introduction • In this mode of transport, all vehicles use rail tracks to move from one point to another. • Vehicles consist of a long train of coaches attached to a locomotive. • The coaches and the locomotive have steel wheels which run on steel rail tracks. • The locomotive either uses diesel or use electricity as fuel (locomotives which run on coal are hardly used these days). • Since the rail tracks provide a dedicated right-of-way for the train services, these are good for high speed transit facilities. • Trains stop at pre-specified locations called stations. Important aspects related to the railway mode of transport • Safe and efficient operation and control of rail traffic. • Layout of rail tracks. • Structural design of the subgrade on which rail tracks run. • Planning of stations or terminals for railway vehicles. Early Beginnings • By the time steam locomotives came on the scene, in the early nineteenth century, wrought iron rails and later steel rails were developed which were strong enough to support these heavy axle loads without assistance from longitudinal timbers. • In essence the track itself, together with its supports, had and still has the basic function of safely transmitting the loads and forces imposed by passing trains to the ground beneath. • Various other civil engineering skills were also involved in the construction of early railways. These included the building of bridges, tunnels and gravity walls as well as extensive earthworks and drainage.
