Abstract

Car ownership1 is increasing in almost every country. Since World War II it has been considered that motorization will have a certain saturation level. Determining this level has proven to be one of the most difficult research problems (Figure 6.1). For instance, in the U.S., where motorization started much earlier than in Europe, the 'natural' saturation levels have been passed repeatedly.
