Teleological framework for transport planning and evaluation: a tool in the search for integrated and meaningful solutions for better results

In this paper, we try to build a objective-oriented (teleological) framework for transport planning that could: (i) establish a set of results which have to be sought by the transport sector; (ii) not be mode oriented, thus allowing an inclusive solution approach; and (iii) restrict results to what can be expected from transport planning and practice. This framework starts from classic and commonly accepted objectives as mobility, transport efficacy and efficiency to specify main issues that contribute to each of these aspects. This framework is also a powerful tool for designing information and decision support systems, structuring a knowledge-base, and on designing strategies on transport improvement in order to deal, among other issues, with the problem of social exclusion.
