“…The method relies on a descriptive analysis with an original timetable dynamic approach in the discussion. The results of Laroche (2022b) highlight an increase of the frequency by 5% and decrease for price by 10%. The prices by the newcomer are lower to the incumbent (-30% to -40%) with not enough volume to change the global equilibrium.…”

The term mobility has different meanings in the following science disciplines. In economics, mobility is the ability of an individual or a group to improve their economic status in relation to income and wealth within their lifetime or between generations. In information systems and computer science, mobility is used for the concept of mobile computing, in which a computer is transported by a person during normal use. Logistics creates by the design of logistics networks the infrastructure for the mobility of people and goods. Electric mobility is one of today’s solutions from an engineering perspective to reduce the need of energy resources and environmental impact. Moreover, for urban planning, mobility is the crunch question about how to optimize the different needs for mobility and how to link different transportation systems. In this publication we collected the ideas of practitioners, researchers, and government officials regarding the different modes of mobility in a globalised world, focusing on both domestic and international issues.

Since December 18, 2021, Trenitalia has been serving Lyon and Paris in open access as an extension of the Milan - Turin - Lyon - Paris line. Goodbye monopoly (Laroche, 2022b) in the French high speed market expected for long time. It is the result of the 2011 white paper E.U. (2011) where European transport policy aims at strengthening the dynamics of competition in passenger rail transport in the E.U. For the moment, the offer concerns five relations between Paris and Lyon (and two continuing to Milano). Offices and ticket vending machines have been installed in the Lyon and Paris stations. Our paper will focus on the start-up of this service by attempting to evaluate the first six months of operation.

“…The Paris–Lyon HSL was commissioned in 1981. It was the first in Europe, and 40 years later, it is still a success, with 44 m passengers in 2019 on the 430 km-long route (Laroche, 2023). The TGV was revolutionary, showcasing unprecedented speed and efficiency in rail travel.…”

“…The TGV trains were designed to reach remarkable speeds, initially operating at around 270 km/h (168 mph) and later achieving even higher speeds. France expanded its HSR networks (Figure 5) to connect major cities across the country (Laroche, 2023). Several innovations have been provided to increase capacity, such as the implementation in 1981 of a standard for a new signalling system (TVM 300), its improvement in 2001 to reduce the buffer time between each train to four minutes and, in recent years, investment in the implementation of the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS Level 2) by 2030.…”

PurposeIn an increasingly interconnected world, transportation infrastructure has emerged as a critical determinant of economic growth and global competitiveness. High-speed rail (HSR), characterized by its exceptional speed and efficiency, has garnered widespread attention as a transformative mode of transportation that transcends borders and fosters economic development. The Kuala Lumpur – Singapore (KL-SG) HSR project stands as a prominent exemplar of this paradigm, symbolizing the potential of HSR to serve as a catalyst for national economic advancement.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is prepared to provide an insight into the benefits and advantages of HSR based on proven case studies and references from global HSRs, including China, Spain, France and Japan.FindingsThe findings that have been obtained focus on enhanced connectivity and accessibility, attracting foreign direct investment, revitalizing regional economies, urban development and city regeneration, boosting tourism and cultural exchange, human capital development, regional integration and environmental and sustainability benefits.Originality/valueThe KL-SG HSR, linking Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, epitomizes the potential for HSR to be a transformative agent in the realm of economic development. This project encapsulates the aspirations of two dynamic Southeast Asian economies, united in their pursuit of sustainable growth, enhanced connectivity and global competitiveness. By scrutinizing the KL-SG High-Speed Rail through the lens of economic benchmarking, a deeper understanding emerges of how such projects can drive progress in areas such as cross-border trade, tourism, urban development and technological innovation.
