Abstract

In Japan, while dealing with various issues caused by the delay of a full-scale road development, an effort has been made to realize sustainable transportation. In practical terms, it is planned to control traffic demand in coordination with the public transportation for enhancing smooth traffic in urban areas. In the regional areas, the development of road network is promoted in order to reduce the infrastructure gap between urban and regional areas. In addition, to strengthen international competitiveness, a distribution network is being built in Japan and overseas that can link land, sea, and air transportation modes. Implementing these measures in an integrated manner, it is intended to promote sustainable transportation. Forthe covering abstract see ITRD E139491.
