Increasing railway infrastructure capacity and digitalisation of road infrastructure

As part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), the Ministry of Infrastructure will participate in investments in rail and road transport. The planned measures will support long-term sustainable growth and address the challenges of the green and digital transition.

The aim of these investments is to promote the use of rail passenger and freight transport, and the digital transformation of road transport. 

O1C4 – Component Sustainable transport: investment "Increasing railway infrastructure capacity"

The projects planned under the investment aim to promote rail transport and connectivity with urban centres. The projects will also improve the accessibility of railway stations for the wider population, including persons with disabilities.

The selected projects below will improve transport services for passengers and freight transport:

Responsible authority: Ministry of Infrastructure
Implementing authority and the final recipient of funds is: Slovenian Infrastructure Agency

The investment is estimated at €765.9 million excluding VAT, of which €688.6 million is expected to come from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

C1K4 – Component Sustainable transport: investment "Digitalisation of road infrastructure"

These are investment projects to digitalise road transport, ensuring interoperability, more efficient management and improved safety. The aim of the investment is to provide reliable information on the transport system in order to improve the acquisition and exchange of traffic data on the state of transport infrastructure and the real-time movement of vehicles. 

The investment includes, among other things, the upgrade of the fibre optic network and the purchase of road detectors for the collection of real-time traffic data, including a simulation tool for planning, controlling and forecasting traffic on the motorway network, and application tools for users. By allowing real-time adjustments of travel speed limits, the traffic manager is expected to be able to prevent accidents and congestion and reduce emissions.

Responsible and implementing authority: Ministry of Infrastructure
Final recipient of funds: Motorway Company of the Republic of Slovenia (DARS d.d.)

The investment is estimated at €19.4 million excluding VAT, of which €12.05 million is expected to come from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
