Resumen
ICT, as a General Purpose Technology, influences changes in global production, consumption and organizational models. Due to the fact that it improves competitiveness, enables process and product innovations and influences business processes along the entire value chain, promotion of ICT is one of the priorities of European Commission. This paper aims at providing a broad empirical analysis of the use of ICT by individuals and in companies involved in passenger and freight transportation processes in the EU. There is a need to examine the potential relations between the wider distribution of ICT and changes in demand for transport services, in case of both individuals and enterprises. The aim of this study is also to examine some future directions of ICT implementation in the transportation area and its influence on the economy in general.
