Future Transportation Presentation Operating system 1 Operating system 2 Current Transport system • Most transport media in use today are generally fossil fuel powered. • The drawbacks of such transportation media are that they are heavily polluting, and rely on limited energy sources. Operating system 3 Intelligent Transportation system An intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an advanced application which, without embodying intelligence as such, aims to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks. Operating system 4 Operating system 5 Intelligent transport technologies Intelligent transport systems vary in technologies applied, from basic management systems such as, • Car navigation • Traffic signal control systems • Container management systems • Variable message signs • Automatic number plate recognition • Speed cameras Operating system 6 Some of these technologies are described in the following sections. • Wireless communications Various forms of wireless communications technologies have been proposed for intelligent transportation systems. Radio modem communication on UHF and VHF frequencies are widely used for short and long range communication within ITS. Auto Insurance companies have utilized ad hoc solutions to support Call and behavioral tracking functionalities in the form of Telemetric 2.0 Operating system 7 Operating system 8 • Computational technologies Recent advances in vehicle electronics have led to a move towards fewer, more capable computer processors on a vehicle. A typical vehicle in the early 2000s would have between 20 and 100 individual networked microcontroller/Programmable logic controller modules with non-real-time operating systems. The current trend is toward fewer, more costly microprocessor modules with hardware memory management and real-time operating systems. Operating system 9 Operating system 10 •Floating car data Floating car data/floating cellular data "Floating car" or "probe" data collected other transport routes. Broadly speaking, four methods have been used to obtain the raw data 1. Triangulation method. 2. 2. Vehicle re-identification. 3. 3. GPS based methods. 4. 4. Smartphone-based rich monitoring. Operating system 11 Operating system 12 The list below contains some forms of transport not in general use, but considered as possibilities in the future. Backpack helicopter Jet pack, rocket belt or rocket pack Launch loop Personal rapid transit Rolling highway Moving walkway Sky Tran Operating system 13 •Backpack helicopter A backpack helicopter is a helicopter motor and rotor and controls assembly that can be strapped to a person's back, so he can walk about on the ground wearing it, and can use it to fly. It uses a harness like a parachute harness and should have a strap between the legs (so the pilot does not fall out of the harness during flight). Some designs may use a ducted fan design to increase upward thrust. Several inventors have tried to make backpack helicopters, with mixed results. The Pentecost HX-1 Hopi-Copter, a functional backpack helicopter. Operating system 14 Operating system 15 •Jet pack, rocket belt or rocket pack A jet pack, rocket belt or rocket pack is a device, usually worn on the back, which uses jets of gas (or in some cases liquid) to propel the wearer through the air. The most common use of the jet pack has been in extra-vehicular activities for astronauts. The first jet pack was developed in 1919 by the Russia, It was oxygen-and- methane-powered (likeliest a rocket) with wings each roughly 1 m (3 feet) long 2. Hydrogen peroxide-powered rocket packs: A hydrogen peroxide-powered engine is based on the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide. This hot gas is used exclusively as the reaction mass and is fed directly to one or more jet nozzles. The great disadvantage is the limited operating time Operating system 16 Operating system 17 •Rolling highway In rail transportation, a rolling highway, or rolling road is a form of combined transport involving the conveying of road trucks by rail, referred to as Ro-La trains. The technical challenges to implement rolling highways vary from region to region. Rolling highways are mostly used for transit routes. 1. Austria 2. India 3. Switzerland 4. Italy 5. France 6. Canada Operating system 18 Operating system 19 Moving walkway A moving walkway or travellator, is a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance. Moving walkways can be used by standing or walking on them. They are often installed in pairs, one for each direction. Operating system 20 Operating system 21 •Sky Tran SkyTran is a Personal Rapid Transit system first proposed by inventor Douglas Malewicki in 1990, and under development by Unimodal Inc. Lightweight two- passenger vehicles suspended from elevated passive magnetic levitation tracks are expected to achieve the equivalent of over 200 miles per US gallon (240 mpg-imp; 1.2 L/100 km) fuel economy at 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) or faster.
