- catalog abstract "In this reference for transport policymakers, planners, and researchers, Christian Gerondeau sheds new light on the controversial debate about the role of automobile and truck transportation in Europe and shows that many commonly held assumptions are poorly founded. In examining all forms of land transport including urban and non-urban roadways, railways, freight transport, sea crossings, and air transportation, Transport in Europe shows why transport policies worldwide are in need of deep changes, and reveals why Europe relies on trucking even more than North America, how Paris is building a revolutionary new underground motorway, how the British are solving their railway problems, why Europe is halting the construction of new high-speed train lines, what happened to the Channel Tunnel, why air pollution is disappearing over most of Europe, and how Europe will deal with Intelligent Transportation Systems.".
