SELECTION OF URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

This paper describes an information system which accepts as input a set of characteristics describing a particular urban transportation need and yields as output a list of transportation technologies capable of satisfying that need. A broad range of urban transportation need situations can be fed into the system. However, it is restricted to need situations where the need is for people movement rather than goods movement. This system consists of two tables. Their use is described and examples are given. The procedure used to develop the tables is discussed. The system identifies new transportation technologies.
