Samenvatting
Transport policy is squeezed between demands for more mobility and worries over the negative side-effects of traffic. The implementation of transport policy is further handicapped by system feedbacks such as the stable daily travel time and the Downs - Thomson paradox. The combination of different approaches to solving traffic congestion, assimilated system-keeping principles, various objectives, and transport modes provides a myriad of transport futures to choose from. Japanese Ministry of Construction and OECD/Road Transport Research Programme held the seminar on "future road transport systems and infrastructures in urban areas" in Chiba, Japan on 4th - 6th june 1991 sponsored by the Japanese organizing committee.
