摘要: There are some basic problems of transportation research that, for many reasons, should be termed bottleneck problems. The terms "behavioral relevance" and "prediction of behavior" indicate that a description of behavior must reflect actual behavior. This is necessary for a description that can contribute to predicting behavioral patterns. These predictions, in turn, are essential to most transportation studies that involve human behavior. The following bottleneck problems are discussed in detail: behavior-relevant private car costs; behavior-relevant time costs; generalized costs and cost-benefit analysis; attitude surveys and self-knowledgeability; forecasting history versus forecasting the future; and indirect effects and the perfect traffic forecast. All these problems are much too important to be solved by sweeping them under the carpet--which in many ways is what we are doing now.
