This study looks at the impacts of the IT (Information Technology) revolution on the transport sector in Britain against the general background of the transport crisis itself, whereby basic questions surrounding the modernization of Britain's road and rail systems have assumed even greater political, social and economic significance. Taking as its central theme the complementary relationship between transport and telecommunications, the book argues that planning for economic development and cities should be based on combining the potential of both infrastructures to create a new vision of integrated transport policy in the Information Age. Innovations in the transport sector, such as route guidance and road pricing are examined in the broader context of structural changes in the UK economy and cities. The study provides an integrated view of the new IT-based transport systems, at the level of firms and urban areas, and identifies the key issues raised for public policy in the UK and EC contexts.
