dc.description.abstract |
Generally, the development process of the railway transport system is determined by the
market pull effects initiated by the economy and society and the market push effects induced by
technological progress. The policymakers can provide a balance between these two effects; this results
in more effective, safer, and greener future railway systems. In developing countries, the railway
systems lag compared to the developed economies. Therefore, the supporting management tools and
legal supports for policymakers and strategic management play significant roles in the development
of future sustainable transport systems. This paper deals with such required tools and the potential
legal framework that support the development of sustainable railway systems in developing countries.
The major novelty and advantages of the introduced methodology is the harmonised interaction
between society, economic demands, technological development, and regulation. The proposed tools
are applied to the Kenya rail system development. |
