| Abstract | Four workshops were conducted under the auspices of the Transportation Research Board. The topics of discussion included ride quality and passenger acceptance problems associated with enhanced fuel efficiency of automobiles (Group A) and aircraft (Group B); shifts in intermediate range (100-500 miles) travel for automobiles to public transit (Group C); and implications of increased size disparity for ground transport freight and passenger vehicles using shared guideways (Group D). In each group, major problem areas were identified and strategies for conducting pertinent research were outlined. A glossary of technical terms and a list of workshop participants are also included in the report. |
