THROTTLE OPEN OR THROTTLE DOWN. SCENARIOS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PART I AND II

GASGEVEN OF AFREMMEN. TOEKOMSTSCENARIOS VOOR ONS VERVOERSSYSTEEM. BAND I EN II

The book is printed in two volumes. Volume I contains the text, Volume II tables, figures and references per chapter. After an introduction, Volume I is in three parts. Part I describes the methodological background for the study in two chapters: the nature and methods of future research and systems-analysis of mobility. Part II discusses the past, the present and the future of the separate subsystems that make up the passenger transportation system in the Netherlands. The systems are: the motor car system, the air industry, the railway system, local and regional public transport, new systems of public transport, the taxi system, and the unprotected systems. Part III integrates the subsystems into two scenarios for the future of the complete transportation system and analyses the cost and external effects of each. The author prefers the scenario with the emphasis on walking, the two-wheeler and public transportation, and a slower rate of expansion of the motor car and air industry.
