The presented research results form part of a broader research subject focusing on the evaluation of the socioeconomic benefits of projects for the implementation of measures aimed at increasing the safety and reliability of railway infrastructure. The research topic addresses a part of the evaluation of railway infrastructure project efficiency within its life cycle using the cost\u2013benefit analysis method. The methodology is based on the description and definition of input variables that are essential for the process of evaluating socioeconomic impacts. It is followed by another important step, which is the analysis of the categories and the number of occurrences, separately, for regional and national lines, and, further, the data is sorted according to whether occurrences emerge at stations or on a wide line. The result of the presented research is an overview of the calculated values of the expected socioeconomic impacts of partial occurrences according to the categories related to the year of operation on the railway infrastructure and the unit of measure. The research team carried out an inquiry into the annual impacts of the subcategories of occurrences related to one railway station and one kilometer of wide line, e.g., for national lines, the impacts of \u20ac2922.72\/station\/year and \u20ac41.67\/km of wide line\/year were determined. The results of the presented research represent important and necessary inputs for the next phase of the research topic, i.e., the evaluation of the socioeconomic benefits of projects increasing the safety and reliability of railway infrastructure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app10207355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]],"date-time":"2020-10-21T10:14:22Z","timestamp":1603275262000},"page":"7355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["New Aspects of Socioeconomic Assessment of the Railway Infrastructure Project Life Cycle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"V\u00edt","family":"Hrom\u00e1dka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0046-0141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Koryt\u00e1rov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"V\u00edtkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0849-2495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Herbert","family":"Seelmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom\u00e1\u0161","family":"Funk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Sartori, D.
