Traffic Volume Report: Novel traction systems for sustainable railway futures in LICs

Abstract

This report analyses overall railway traffic volumes in low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. It builds on desktop data collection from international sources, as well as inputs from key stakeholder engagement. The main aim of the report is to give an overview of the current state of the railway sector in the region, from which more specific case studies can be derived for more detailed feasibility studies of low-carbon traction solutions. This is an output of the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme
