A proposal of recommendations for post-Corona mobility

ABSTRACT

The novel coronavirus epidemic has had a major effect on transportation. In this chapter, the future of post-pandemic transportation is discussed and measures for its improvement are proposed, based on the pre-pandemic transportation problems and the changes that have occurred due to the pandemic in Japan. In the post-pandemic world, demand leveling and margin utilization along with further involvement of public entities in public transportation projects are recommended for urban transportation and local transportation, respectively. It is also recommended to integrate mobility services based on technical development, introduce and disseminate new mobility services across the entire transportation system, and design systems and develop technologies for more efficient logistics and higher productivity.
