Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of recent research into “Virtual Mobility”, set against the context of European policy development. Based on current work with the UK Department for Transport, it explores the various impacts of e-work (telework) and e-commerce on transport, the environment and land use. In an area where there is much speculation, the approach taken is to distinguish between empirical data and conjecture, showing where significant evidence-based results have been obtained and where conclusions can be drawn to influence transport policy and analysis. This chapter also highlights where further research needs to be undertaken, and suggests an alternative approach to the “substitution versus generation” debate.
