Abstract
Twenty-eight papers were presented at the conference, covering a new concept in fast high volume transport, the use of small, self propelled cars, containing two to six passengers and traveling on their own guideways. For urban transport this design greatly reduces individual ride costs, speeds transport, cuts conjestion, greatly reduces pollution and offers a variety of economic incentives. Following is a list of titles and authors. Success of the Auto Should be a Lesson to Us. By J. A. Kieffer. Programmed Module Urban Transport Systems. By N. D. Lea and D. D. Scrafton.
