Technology Drives Sustainable Mobility

Alarming European Transportation Costs Call For Tech Investments Now

by Michelle de Lussanet

with Jaap Favier, Niek van Veen, Mark Dixon Bünger


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The dynamics of the physical mobility of people and goods must change. Every day, 7,500 kilometers of Europe's roads clog up. Excessive road use kills 53,000 people a year and is one of the leading contributors to greenhouse gas build-up. This can't go on. Governments are slowly moving ahead with Sustainable Mobility initiatives. But current programs score poorly in terms of sustainability. Technology developments like UMTS, GALILEO, Web services, the X Internet, and telematics will move the Sustainable Mobility vision forward.
