This report explores pathways to reducing transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. The goal is to analyze the feasibility of reducing the level of transportation based carbon dioxide emissions in 2050 to 50% of the level they were at in 2005. Emissions have been steadily rising over the past century, and if left uncurbed, will have a negative effect on the quality of ...

This article focus on Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS) due to their effectiveness for solving mobility problems in cities. A new mobility concept is proposed which allows to attain the same flexibility of the private passenger car but with much less nuisances. It is based on small semiautonomous electric vehicles, which may be used to complement mass public transportation, by providing passen...
