Mobility and Traffic in the 21st Century

Description

"Mobility is a prime need of mankind. It is the basis not only of economical and technical but also of cultural progress. Many questions arise with respect to the development and the problems of mobility in the 21st century. This book presents the results elaborated by a project team consisting of students of the "Bayerische Elite-Akademie". They applied themselves to four main topics: bimodal transport system; mobility and transport in agglomeration areas; analogies of physical and virtual traffic; and how communication technologies influence the future of mobility. The book is of interest to both the industrial and the acadamic community and can also be used by students. It is directed at the group of people interested in future traffic policy in general and in traffic engineering in particular."--Jacket.
