Development of Economy and Traffic

Traffic is defined as a change of place of persons and goods. The nature and the volume of freight transport are directly influenced by the nature and the volume of the production of these goods. Passenger traffic as a realisation of potential wishes of mobility certainly depends on the supply of means of transport and, among other factors, on the standard of living. Thus, there is a connection between the development of economy and that of traffic. The analysis of some selected examples will show, if and how such connections can be illustrated.
