Analysing the Economic and Operational Indicators for Railways: the Case Study of Egyptian Railways

The aim of this study is analyzing the economic indicators affecting the operation for ENR. ENR has decreased in transport of passengers and goods due to failure in management, limited resources and decrease of fleet. The weight of freight transport decreased from 12.2 million ton at 2004 to 3 million ton at 2013. Also, number of passengers decreased from 450 million passenger at 2002 to 2007 million passenger at 2013.Thus, the authors studied the economic indicators affecting the Operation for Egyptian National Railways and the tools used to analyze it. These analyses included operating performance and financial performance in terms of, passenger traffic, freight volume, overcrowding rate, No. of accidents, existing fleet, time delaying, revenues, costs and deficits. The authors also evaluated these performance indicators in terms of, Labor productivity, pound productivity and trip productivity. Finally, the authors studied the mathematical equation, which used in ENR for calculation of ticket price.
