Summary

While mechanically operated railways have a nearly 200 year long history in Europe, for Oman and the other GCC members, the challenge of building a railroad network from the ground up to meet the increasing demands of passenger and freight transport under growing economic pressure has now to be faced. The GCC countries will have to solve the complications that arise from technical and social difficulties, as there is little experience of building up and operating a railway network in the predominant environmental conditions, and poor educational and research infrastructure that addresses specific current needs. To meet these concerns, the German University of Technology in Oman is developing a concept for an Omani Rail Institute. This concept combines the advantages of the European railway culture with the needs of Oman and the GCC, respectively, and is introduced in this paper.
