The vision is defined as a set of ethically and socially desirable goals for the four main sustainability criteria in focus-GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, share of fossil fuels, congestion and road fatalities. The targets set by the vision are normative targets, that is, they reflect socially desirable goals and values and reflect in some cases EU policy targets. The vision is to reduce GHG emissions by 80% and to decrease fossil fuel dependency to 40% by 2050. Regarding risk factors, the vision sets a reduction of 80% in road fatalities, and 40% reduction in congestion levels by 2050. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
