Abstract

The study of Alternative Urban Transport Technologies for the Belfast Metropolitan Area 1991/92 commissioned by the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company Ltd/D.O.E. (N.I.) had three main goals: 1) The development of guidelines for assessing the potential technologies for Belfast based on a review of conditions in other sites. 2) Review of 'candidate' technologies and the development of systems concepts to meet the long term transportation needs of the conurbation. 3) Assessment of the efficacy of the systems concepts including their operational, economic and financial performance and implications for the environment and the local economy. This paper provides an overview of the research design employed and considers the implications of the approach adopted for the study recommendations together with the likely policy response from the government body which commissioned the study.
