Summary of some of the reports delivered at a transport research conference in Linkoping on 10-11 January 1989. SAS and regional airline speakers discussed the importance of air transport for regional development and the outlook for aviation in the 1990's. Swedish Railways and industry spokesmen took up the need to develop rail passenger service in the overall transport picture in the future. Freight transport needs covered international railroad development and terminals for combined rail/truck transport. Several speakers dealt with mass transit needs and solutions and the selection of transport systems, financing, ferry service and the problem of buses and their effect on the environment. Traffic safety reports included detecting and defining drunk driving, car safety systems, speed management, automatic speed controls, traffic safety programs for children and the effect of wear on windshields. Wildlife accidents in rural areas, the relative influence of seat and belt parameters on front-seat passenger injuries in head-on collisions, the need for increased cycle helmet protection for children and methods for testing wildlife fences were among the medical topics discussed.
