Abstract
The ultimate purpose of the transport system is to serve the needs and
expectations of the end users, who in turn shape the system by their own
behaviour, actions and investments. This paper examines, in the framework of
the Large Technological Systems -theory, the possibility to categorise users
of the transport system into homogenous segments based on their differences in
daily mobility and freight transportation. Furthermore, the potential to
deepen this segmentation to describe the needs, but later in the policy
process also the social acceptance of different user groups for new transport
technology or policy, is examined.
