Some of the latest trends in transportation include:
- The rise of autonomous vehicles: Autonomous vehicles are being developed by a variety of companies, including Tesla, Waymo, and Uber. These vehicles have the potential to revolutionize transportation, making it safer, more efficient, and more accessible.
- The growth of electric vehicles: Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles.
- The development of new transportation infrastructure: New transportation infrastructure, such as high-speed rail and self-driving car lanes, is being built to accommodate the changing needs of transportation.
- The use of big data and analytics: Big data and analytics are being used to improve transportation planning and operations. This data can be used to track traffic patterns, identify congestion hotspots, and optimize routes.
- The rise of micromobility: Micromobility refers to small, personal transportation options such as bicycles, scooters, and electric kick scooters. These options are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a more convenient and environmentally friendly way to get around.
These are just a few of the many trends that are shaping the future of transportation. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative and disruptive transportation solutions in the years to come.
Overall, these DigiLinkIt articles provide a glimpse of the many exciting ways that technology is transforming the transportation industry. As the transportation industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends play out and what new innovations emerge.
The transportation industry continues to transform. Cities are experiencing rapid growth, currently housing approximately 50 percent of the world's population. This trend is expected to continue, with urban areas projected to accommodate around 70 percent of the global population in the future. This growth of people means we need to find more...
Abstract In this paper, we present our novel autonomous surface vessel platform, a full-scale Roboat for urban transportation. This 4-m-long Roboat is designed with six seats and can carry a payload of up to 1000 kg. Roboat has two main thrusters for cruising and two tunnel thrusters to accommodate docking and interconnectivity between Roboats. We...
