The impact of new technologies on mode shift towards sustainable travel: findings from the STTRIDE project

Abstract

STTRIDE is funded by the Conference of European Directors of Roads. It is addressing how best to use
technological advances to deliver positive modal shift towards sustainable travel, with emphasis on the interurban
network managed by National Road Authorities. This paper summarises the results of the part of the
project that is concerned with assessing the potential impact of a selection of ten new technologies on mode shift.
It is based on an extensive review of literature and consultation with experts. The analysis identified three
different types of mode shift, to which the technologies contribute in varying ways and with different roles for
road authorities in implementation. The conclusions relate to the contribution of each technology towards mode
shift but also identify several key uncertainties around the impacts of new technologies on mode shift.
