The proceedings of the Carnegie-Mellon Conference on Advanced Urban Transportation Systems held on May 25-27, 1970, are reported. The purpose of the conference was to synthesize the progress of research and development into advanced urban transportation systems, to appraise the present status of new systems for urban movement and to take a long range look at the primary elements in the development of improved transportation in our urban areas. Emphasis was placed on basic issues including technological, economic, political, and social factors which will influence the implementation of advanced urban transportation systems. The conference focused on four major areas: an overview of the developments in advanced urban transportation systems; the fundamental technological and economic problems of advanced urban transportation systems; research areas of high potential; and implementation problems and acceptance prospects for advanced urban transportation systems.
