Likely transport markets of cybercars In the scope of the European project CyberMove TNO Inro has set up an Internet questionnaire to define the desires of the (potential) users of a Cybernetic Transport System. It appears that the typology of the 'site selection' in the CyberMove project is not useful for the execution of the Internet questionnaire. That is why a new typology was drawn up. In this typology the likely transport markets of cybercars are determined. Cybercars are clean and silent vehicles which drive with relatively low speed and fully automatic. The typology of the likely transport markets of cybercars consists of a combination of supply (spreading in time and space, activity density, car use and parking problems) and demand characteristics (the measure of collectivity). From the typology it appears that cybercar applications are mainly suitable in the following transport areas: `between a central car park and a business park', `at a holiday park', `from a central car park to the central business district', `from the station to the university', `between a central car park and a city centre' and `from the station at an airport to the departure terminal of an airport'. The remark has to be made that these transport areas are examples to the theoretical likely transport markets of cybercars. (Author/publisher)
