The Railway Research Institute (Instytut Kolejnictwa) in Warsaw was
established in 1951 and was, until 2000, part of the Polish State
Railways (PKP). At present, it serves as an independent entity, it
is subordinated to the minister responsible for transport. Since
its inception, the Institute has been the centre of competence for
technology, technique and organization of operation and services in
rail transport, particularly in respect to innovation. One of its
fundamental tasks also includes activities connected with safety
which are carried out in close cooperation with the National Safety
Authority, i.e. the Office of Rail Transport. At the same time the
Institute participated in the process of upgrading and
modernization of the rail network in Poland. Experience in high
speed rail, gained as a result of international cooperation and
basing on the effort to increase speed on railway lines in Poland
(so far 200 km/h), is included in the monograph "Koleje Duzych
Predkosci w Polsce" (High Speed Rail in Poland) published in 2015
for the benefit of the Polish reader. This monograph aims at
reaching an international audience of experts so as to present
Polish determinants of HSR implementation. In order to elaborate
this monograph, apart from specialists from the Railway Research
Institute, experts from other research and academic centres were
invited. Not only presenting a wide range of problems connected
with future construction of High Speed Lines in Polish conditions,
but also a number of operational ones. The authors have created a
reference work of universal character, solving problems in order to
build and operate high speed rail systems in countries on a similar
level of development as Poland. Features: providing requirements
for design and upgrade of engineering works on High Speed Rail
development information on restructuring and building railway lines
for countries starting to develop a High Speed Rail system dealing
with organizational, engineering, socioeconomic and economic
demands for transport services and the formation of human resources
for constructing and operting a High Speed Rails system. Presenting
these problems on the international arena will facilitate future
cooperation and application of world experience to create HSR in
Poland and integrate the Polish HSR network into the international
