Abstract

Traffic comprises a large and persistently growing share of resource consumption and environmental stress in modern economies. Even on our way towards an Information and Knowledge Society, the demand for physical transport has not let up. Although the total physical mass transported is no longer increasing in modern economies, the distances and exchange frequencies still are, both in freight and in passenger traffic. That is making traffic with its effects on the environment into one of the most difficult problems that has to be solved if we want to attain sustainable development.
