'This wide-ranging volume offers a balanced look at the benefits as well as the caveats associated with various ICT applications in transport. Addressing transport demand and supply as well as policies affecting both, and combining specific case studies with general conceptualizations, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding - and best deployment - of this complex constellation of relationships between ICT and travel. It will be of great value to researchers and practitioners alike.'

‘Transport is the testbed for many innovations in ICT and this book captures the essence of this fast moving and topical debate. It covers the behavioural implications, the potential impacts on sustainable transport, and the broader public policy issues. The approach is authoritative, matching the technological optimism with more pragmatic realism, and the contributors are smart in stressing both the opportunities and the need to limit the risks, as sustainable transport depends on all systems both societal and technological working together in harmony.’

- David Banister, University of Oxford, UK,

‘Again a nice collection of papers from the highly productive NECTAR network! ICT increasingly influences the transport system. This timely book focuses on the relevance of ICT for sustainable transport. Most papers present empirical evidence of impacts of several ICTs based on surveys. The book also discusses the impact of ICT on travel behaviour and user requirements more generally, as well as planning and policy implications, including risks, implementation barriers and ethical issues. A must for researchers, policy makers and planners dealing with the potential contribution of ICT to make society more sustainable!’
