INVENTERING AV EXISTERANDE FORSKNING ROERANDE KOLLEKTIV PERSONTRANSPORT

The main categories included in the report are: man and mass transit; housing and mass transit; mass transit systems; economic aspects; traffic trends. Both computer and conventional literature searches were made. The references were then examined and placed in one of the five categories listed above. It was determined that during the past 10 years the structure, standards, and environmental impact of the mass transit system have been examined in the greatest detail by traffic researchers. Examination of current research revealed that these same aspects of mass transit systems continue to dominate. Several suggestions are made for future studies.
