Description and Table of Contents
Description
Drawing on comparative detail from Europe, North America, and the rest of the world, Driving Change provides a nuanced overview of the UK's modern transport system and the role of business models and policy choices in its evolution. The common features of mobility and travel in developed economies are highlighted in order to provide a balanced appraisal of possible future developments.
The book offers a detailed consideration of the potential of new technologies - electric propulsion, digital platforms and autonomous vehicles - to offer solutions to the intractable challenges that accompany high levels of car ownership, as well as their likely impact on business and transport policy.
Driving Change is a rich analysis of the modern state of transportation and will be welcomed by students of transport studies and policy professionals tasked with developing infrastructure and the growth of the transportation industry.
