Objectives of Focus Group 2Objectives of Focus Group 2

1) Exploration of the potential effects of ICT on improvements or breakthroughs in transport systems

2) Exploration of the ways in which ICT are intersecting: new ways of living & working within metropolitan regions, creation of a complex mix of travel substituting, enhancement & generation of effects, with emphasis on

behavioural & spatial aspects3) Comparison of findings in EU & North-American countries on

the degree of substitutability between physical and non-physical transport

4) Mobilization of high quality research potential: clear expertise on the intersection of ICT, innovation & modern transport systems

5) Seek for effective cooperation among European & North American transport researchers & policy analysts

6) Dissemination of the findings on the intricate relationships of ICT & transport innovations to the research community & policy-making bodies

7) Creation of a platform for exchange of information & knowledge on sustainable transport issues among Europe & North American experts

8) Generation of opportunities for initiating joint research, undertaking comparative investigations on the success &

failure factors of policy9) Enhancement of efficiency in transportation research
