Smeed, the deputy director of the British Transport and Road Research Laboratory and included 11 economists and engineers, including: *Smeed, a noted statistician and transport planner, credited with identifying 'Smeed's law' that describes motorists' tolerance towards speed and risk. He observed that drivers would not go out if traffic speeds fell below 9 mph; but if speeds rose, more would drive until they caused more congestion. *Gabriel Roth, a noted road transport economist. *Michael Edwin Beesley a pioneer of Cost Benefit Analysis techniques whose key innovation was the valuation that people give to their time. * J. Michael Thompson,〔(Michael Thompson Obituary )〕 a transport economist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smeed Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
