Vehicles
of the future: how will people travel to work in several decades?
Throughout human
history transportation remained limited in scale and scope. In the short 200
years since the introduction of mechanized transportation, the capacity, speed,
efficiency and geographical coverage of transport systems has improved
dramatically. The goal to move passengers and freight faster, in greater
quantities, safely and efficiently remains the core motivation to improve
transport technology. Modes, terminals and networks alike have been subject to
remarkable changes that come into two functional aspects
Revolutionary changes.
Concerns a completely new technology that creates new markets and growth
opportunities for transportation and the economy as well. It often marks the
obsolescence of an existing transport mode as the new mode has substantial
cost, capacity or time benefits.
Incremental
(evolutionary) changes.
Concerns the stepwise improvement
of an existing transport technology and operations. This leads to increases in
productivity with more capacity, lower costs and better performance of the
involved mode or terminal.
The re-occurrence of new technology over the years has helped us on how we live and
carry out our day to day activities, and most of this development is as a
result of inventing and creating a new ways to reduce our daily stress and live
an improved life.
1. The Future Transport Innovation
Will Be Through Subways
2. Stronger Global Positioning System (GPS) Will Change How
We Commute
3. Water-Fueled Car
4. High- Speed Rail Network
5. String Theory Transportation Development
Modern transportation is currently experiencing major changes thanks to
transformative transportation technologies. Almost all the points discussed
above are set to mark the next innovation occurrence in the transportation
sector that will increase how we live and improve the efficiency of our day to
day activities.
