The survey specifically sought to determine whether or not there was a substitution impact (individuals substituting telematics for work trips, and thus lessening their trips to work), a stimulation impact (telematics actually stimulating more travel), or a complementarity effect (individuals using both methods - telematics and travel to work). Results suggest that 1/3 of office workers surveyed reduced their work trips when telecommuting (affirming substitution); no stimulation effect was noted; and supervisory personnel continued to make work trips while also using telematics (complementarity). In general, work trips were made by automobile, public transit, and sometimes airplane.

The disc ‘Optical data storage and the construction industry’ was produced by the urban planning and building design laboratory. Off‐the‐shelf videodisc products available in Finland were investigated by the Information Service of VTT in order to find the most efficient and versatile Hardwareand software combination. The Information Service also took care of the disc programming. This article looks at the characteristics of optical discs in general and videodiscs in particular. The interactive videodisc system Hardwareand software and the disc production process are described. Guidelines are provided for videodisc designing and production with the needs of libraries and information services in mind.

The building information service should be able to provide him or her by the up-to-date information in a user friendly format. Optical disc technology makes it possible to combine different forms of building data into images which can be mass stored and randomly accessed on a single disc, with the minimal response time by personal computer or CAD-workstation. In this paper the use of various forms of optical disc technology in construction industry and the prototype video disc produced by VTT are described.
