TNO Inro has developed an internet questionnaire aimed at end users in order to gain more detailed information about transport needs for cybercars. Cybercars are clean, economic, quiet, fully automated vehicles that drive on existing infrastructure. The results have been taken from the European project Cybermove. TNO participates in this research project. Transport in the direction of the city centre seems to be the most desirable. According to the results of the questionnaire the ideal Cybernetic Transport System consists of: a bus shelter with real-time travel information at the stop and a toilet; modern looking vehicles with 5 to 10 seats, non-transparent, with doors on both sides, performing scheduled services; a stop within 5 minutes walking time from/to origin/destination. Almost 98% of the respondents indicated they will make use of the cybercars. They are willing to pay 2 Euro per trip. (Author/publisher)
