This 4th edition report is to implement the congressionally mandated objectives to (1) develop a range of technologies needed to produce convenient, safe, and affordable modes of surface transportation to be available for public use beginning in the mid-1990's and, (2) maintain a long-term advanced R&D program in order to provide for the next generation of surface transportation systems. The Near Term Section focuses on ongoing or projected programs, such as physical infrastructure, information infrastructure, next generation vehicles and fuel, human-centered transportation systems, intermodal systems assessment, design, planning, management, and operations. The Long Term Research period is to have a primary objectives of transportation infrastructure, next-generation vehicles, transportation physical infrastructure, and enabling research topics.
