Numerous studies have been conducted to analyze efficiency of railways, however, limited research
has been focused on efficiency of high speed railway. In this research we compare efficiency of 17
major high speed railway stations of the world by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which is
based on operations research. The inputs of the model are population of the city, number of high
speed services per day and the output is number of passengers using high speed services. The model
is solved by output orientation and stations of the case study are ranked according to their efficiency.
Tokyo and Ankara station got the highest efficiency scores. Impact of type of traffic, being old or newly
built as well as being through or dead end is also studied.
