Title: TECHNOLOGY AND THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION: AN INDUSTRIAL VIEW
Accession Number: 00486294
Record Type: Component
Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This paper addresses the evolution of transportation, including the following: how technology will change what is moved, and how; how personal transportation needs may change; advances in transportation technology; where the energy will come from; and what is required to make the technology available. Whether these new technical concepts will be implemented or not will depend on technical progress, the support of the transportation community, and the U.S. economic and business environment. America is seen as now entering what may be thought of as the fourth recent technologically driven revolution--the use of computers to increase the ability to evaluate, regulate, and control processes and to reduce the need for human intervention.
