Abstract

Human factors research in urban transportation has been done in bus systems, personal rapid transit (PRT), demand-responsive systems, rail transit, and to a very limited extent in modal choice. The last in particular needs more investigation, which might concentrate on the motivational variables affecting decisions whether to go by private car or by bus (or other system). Various research projects were described in the Human Factors Workshop at the last meeting of the Transportation Research Board.
