Territorial Feasibility Study of the Railway Connection Granada-Motril Harbour

Este estudio de alternativas trató de evaluar la viabilidad de la conexión ferroviaria entre Granada y el Puerto de Motril junto con su integración con el Corredor Mediterráneo y la Red Trans-Europea de Transportes, así como el consolidar el actual auge del Puerto y su hinterland dentro del sistema portuario estatal y aprovechar el gran flujo de viajeros y mercancías que discurre entre la capital y la ciudad costera. 

The obtention of the different alternatives has been carried out from the information processing using Geographic Information Systems to know the capacities of the territory versus the railway line and the detailed design of the lines according to technical parameters for obtaining a valid alternative (Environmental, Social, or Economic) for every corridor raised. To do this we carried out a multicriteria evaluation of the three alternatives through an Analytical Hierarchical Process, performing a weighting of importance of criteria and sub-criteria of each of them according to the Saaty Scale, facilitating the decision-making based on all the factors considered. Of the three alternatives proposed, the measured as more favorable based on the defined criteria and according to this analysis was the Environmental Alternative  oriented to minimize the damage to the environment.

The feasibility of the proposal, without a doubt, comes from understanding its social scope as a dynamic element in areas that have a great economical and social potential coming from solvent and competitive infrastructures.
