| Abstract: | Travel, like many other aspects of daily life is being transformed by the information technology (IT) revolution. Accessibility can no longer be measured only in terms of travel time, distance or generalized travel cost. IT gives people virtual accessibility to a rapidly growing range of activities. E-commerce has become a catalyst for structural changes in the freight transportation industry and is changing where freight moves, the size of typical shipments and the time within which goods must be delivered. In this paper, we explore some of the potential effects of IT on transportation, both personal and freight. |
