3. INTRODUCTION
oThe world is changing fast, cities are growing & urban population is rising.
oThe need for transportation of people & goods are increasing, but so is congestion,
air pollution, road accidents & climate change, we need more mobility, but we have
to do it in a smarter way.
oWith advancements in transportation technology, we are expecting lots of changes in
the future of transportation, while these changes may seem light-years away, they are
already a work in progress.
oWe all know the cars are bad for the environment because they contaminate the air &
the use of a lot of fuel which is a finite resource (only have a limited amount of it here
on earth).
4. oWe’ve already used up half of our resources & if we keep using it like that, we only have 34
years left to feel i.e. within our lifetimes. So this needs to be a lot more careful with how we
use our resources.
oWe will see some of the trends already in motion for new transportation technology. We will
also see the future of these trends in transportation and what to expect in the next few years.
oCurrent trends in transportation are some of the trends already in motion as we look forward
to the future of transportation technology.
o Future trends in transportation are the ones which we expect innovations in the
transportation industry that will greatly improve our lives, and minimize death, cost, and even
anxiety.
5. CURRENT TRENDS IN
TRANSPORTATION
Autonomous
Vehicles
Whether it is passenger or
cargo transportation, new truck
engine technology will involve
the use of self-driving
autonomous vehicles that do
not depend on human
interference. In a couple of
years, we should expect these
self-driving cars in great
numbers to be on the road.
Electrification
When it comes to cars,
electrification of vehicles is at its
tipping point. With electric
vehicles, cars will no longer need
petrol, diesel, or traditional crude
oil. These electric trucks will
depend on a battery to function.
This means less carbon dioxide
and fossil fuel defense for electric
trucks. Electric vehicles are
expected to reach 13 percent by
2025 and 22 percent by 2030.
Smart Technology
Without a doubt, smart
technology is the future of
transportation. These smart
transportation technology
examples are set to
revolutionize the sector in
the next 10 years.
6. Driverless Cars
With new truck engine technology,
we expect to see more self-
driving/driverless cars and trucks.
Because of the number of deaths
and business failures caused by
distracted driving, self-driving
trucks use computers to operate
vehicles. This new transportation
technology is designed to reduce
speeding incidents and minimize
risks.
Hyperloop
Another transportation trend to look
out for in the future is the hyperloop.
Hyperloop is a transportation tube
that helps transfer groups of
passengers and goods using a
pressurized track. This new
transportation technology is
expected to run at a speed of 600
mph. With multiple companies
working on these prototypes
together, we should be hearing more
about Hyperloop soon.
Underground Roads
Underground roadways are a
reimagining of traditional road design.
The goal is to make 3D roads to solve
the issues of city infrastructure. This
new transportation infrastructure will
use a system of tunnels that allow you
to lower trucks underground before
transporting them at high speed to
different destinations. To ensure quick
and cost-effective services, these
underground trucks will use a metal
trolley platform.
