TRANSPORT IN EUROPE

'Transport in Europe' critically examines commonly held assumptions in the European transportation policy debate and brings an entirely new perspective to many issues. The book covers all forms of land transport including urban and non-urban roadways,railways, and freight transport as well as sea crossings and air transportation. Specific focus is placed on high speed trains and the Channel Tunnel.
The book includes a chapter on accidents (accidents kill an average of 50,000 people each year in Europe, while injuring another 1.5 million), an analysis of the issues driving the debate over the future of the automobile and the truck, a discussion of reserving tunnels for light vehicles only, and detailed appendices.
