This research discusses the implications of a life-cycle perspective for rail and road infrastructure projects. The role of information and knowledge transfer is emphasized as well as how the risk-averse actors affect the development and management of the infrastructure. Contributions are made to areas such as Integrated Product Service Offerings and Eco-design, focusing on large technical systems and public procurement. The conclusions are relevant for large technical systems with one dominant buyer and few providers.
