TRANSPORT POLICY, INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT, AND FUTURE IN URBAN AREAS. IN: EXPERT MEETING AND SYMPOSIUM ON THE SEMINAR ON FUTURE ROAD TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND INFRASTRUCTURES IN URBAN AREAS, JUNE 4-6, 1991, CHIBA, JAPAN

Transport policy is squeezed between demands for more mobility and worries over the negative side-effects of traffic. The implementation of transport policy is further handicapped by system feedbacks such as the stable daily travel time and the Downs-Thomson paradox. The combination of different approaches to solving traffic congestion, assimilated system-keeping principles, various objectives, and transport modes provides a myriad of transport futures to choose from.
