Hardly a day passes without an item in the media about transport problems. We
are told that road traffic will increase inexorably for the foreseeable future.
Millions of people yearn for an end to the traffic congestion, stress, noise,
fumes and danger outside their front doors, and opposition to road developments
increases.
The door-to-door convenience provided by car transport is not
available to important parts of the society, but those who have it do not want
to give it up.
On top of this, scientists say that there is an urgent need to
reduce dramatically the use of fossil fuel to stop global warming.
Modular Automated Individual Transport (MAIT ) , which is realizable with todays
technology, has the potential to improve this situation considerably,
contributing to a better life quality for the entire society.
