Model for Optimal Project Portfolio for the Construction of Railway Infrastructure on Corridors V and X

The construction of railway infrastructure should be dealt with as a national strategic development program, which — due to technical, geographical, logistical, and other requirements — is carried out through a number of projects and represents a complex multiple project operation for investors, contractors, and other influential players. The national strategic development program for the construction of railway infrastructure is connected — through programs in the neighboring countries and EU member states — to Trans-European networks (TEN) that strategically regulate the construction within the community. In the Republic of Slovenia, the construction of railway infrastructure within TEN programs is carried out on the pan-European traffic Corridors V and X within individual projects for the construction of sections and a number of supporting projects. The technical requirements, deadlines, and other TEN requirements as well as national strategic requirements and financial possibilities of the state represent the basic criteria that should be taken into consideration in setting up a strategic project plan, with optimal project classification achieved through the implementation project portfolio. This paper utilizes the method of multiple-criteria decision analysis to prepare the portfolio, taking into account the macroeconomic and infrastructural criteria. Consequently, the results represent the basis for the preparation of an optimal financial plan with regard to financing possibilities of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union. The paper also summarizes the research results regarding the formation of the project implementation process of the TEN-T network construction in the Republic of Slovenia.
