All the papers in this volume were presented at a conference on
Transportation and Urban Life, held in Munich during the third week
of September, 1975. The conference was sponsored by the Special
Programme Panels on Systems Science and Human Factors of the
Science Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The
distinguishing characteristic of the conference and of this volume
lies in the combination of systems science and human factors
contributions in the field of urban transportation. The initiative
for attempting such a synthesis came from the sponsors. It is
increasingly realised that the complexity of contemporary problems
which applied scientists are being asked to solve is such that the
coordinated efforts of several disciplines are needed to solve
them. The brief which we formulated for the conference and distribu
ted in our international call for papers was as follows: "The
conference is intended to highlight significant psycho logical,
SOCiological and economic aspects of transportation and urban life
and to present new techniques which can be applied to these aspects
and their interfaces." Papers were invited in four topic areas:
Communities (transportation problems in relation to social needs,
residential planning, industry and c0l1lITlerce); Cities and large
urban areas (the econOlnic environment, material fl l, resources);
Regional development and transportation (administration and
management at the project and multiprogramme level); and Quality of
life and transportation (noise, visual intrusion, severance, air
pollution)."
