The efficiency of transport systems depends on their relevance to those using them. All too often, however, transport policies are implemented at great expense without due regard to the behaviour, and consequent needs, of transport users. This book will improve the lines of communication between behavioural researchers and policy makers. The papers presented at the 1985 international conference on travel behaviour cover the wide range of factors which need to be taken into account when gauging the effect behaviour has on transport requirements and usage. The reports of the 8 workshops are also presented. For abstracts of the different papers see B 24623 - B 24644 (IRRD 290119 to 290140).
