DEVELOPMENT IN THE MOBILITY OF PERSONS, A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE

ONTWIKKELINGEN IN DE PERSONENMOBILITEIT: EEN TOEKOMSTVERKENNING

Important influences on transport use which can be expected in the future are presented. Besides a certain decrease in the transport supply and the correlated influence on the freedom of selection of transport possibilities, a limit on the spending budget of the users of transport in relationship with the increasing costs of transport can be predicted. Demographic factors and other changes in the traditional sociological patterns lead to another activity pattern and therefore into a different mobility pattern. A return to use of the moped and more selective use of the car is expected. New transport modes will not be introduced before the year 2000. Rather, an individualisation of public transport, supported by micro-electronics is expected. Attention must be given to the improvement of an optimal integration between public and private transport. (TRRL)
