Creation of Technology Road-Map, A strategic approach to change

Technology Road-Mapping is a comprehensive approach to strategic management for integration of market, R&D and technology development into product/service and business aspects. Although rail industry has experienced increased support from government in recent years and it has many advantages over other modes and is known as environmentally friendly, more efficient to national economy and more accepted by social groups, the analysis shows that rail industry has an insufficient market share between all of transport modes. There are many reasons for that but lack of adequate infrastructures and appropriate technologies could be the most important reason. The objective of this project is to create Technology Road-Map for providing appropriate high speed trains technology for Tehran-Mashed railway in Iran. In this project, special consideration has been given to sustainable transportation as economic, social and environmental parameters. The point of departure is a TESP analysis of Iran's macro environment with its structural and economic data.
