Limits to predictability in traffic and transport

Explores the relationship between the limited possibilities to predict the future and the decision making process. The study is structured upon the following themes: processes that are ill-predictable and causes for ill-predictability, consequences of ill-predictability in terms of adaptation of the policy making process and in terms of increasing the predictive power of models, and the potential need for a paradigm shift.
