Structural Change in Transportation and Communications in the Knowledge Society

Edited by Kiyoshi Kobayashi, T. R. Lakshmanan and William P. Anderson

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The transformation of the world economy from a system of nations trading materials-intensive goods to a system of seamless global networks for information-intensive goods and services has created the need for a comprehensive restructuring of transportation and communications activities. The contributors – transportation and communications analysts from Japan and the United States – address this restructuring from a variety of perspectives ranging from theoretical treatments of the role of information in the economy to applications of communications technologies for the collection of travel data.
