Unified planning across different transportation modes is essential to alleviate a mounting deterioration in urban mobility. Vitalization and integration of transportation elements and modes will be necessary to a much higher degree than is presently available or on the horizon. Bimodal vehicles, air-cushion suspensions, linear induction motors, tube vehicles, STOL, VTOL and V/STOL are all part of the transportation “mix” being evaluated. The impact of electronics will be increasingly apparent in both personal and mass transit. These elements are discussed within a framework of today's realities and tomorrow's requirements
