The main objective of this project is to quantify and to compare the pollutant emissions caused by different transport modes. The several transport modes are compared with transport aircraft. Besides the main objectives there are three other objectives. (1) The different transport modes have to comply with regulations. These regulations are reviews; (2) The possibilities for the reduction of pollutant emissions are discussed; and (3) A brief review of possible future developments are given. The emphasis is on passenger transport. The transport modes that are reviewed are: regional and long distance transport aircraft; passenger cars; buses; and classic and high-speed trains.
