Abstract

During the last few decades the considerable increase in mobility, evident almost everywhere, has derived from a number of socio-economic factors. Among these, the growth of income and increased involvement in various urban activities (changes in lifestyle) have played a major role. In the larger urban areas this has led to widespread congestion, which appears to be growing steadily in all cities of the Western world. If this current trend in mobility continues, within a few years the increase in congestion and pollution in large cities is predicted to exceed the alarm threshold.
