- "Emerging technologies are technologies whose development, practical applications, or both are still largely unrealized."
New technologies that are transforming transportation, such as electric and self-driving cars, drones, and hyperloop trains.
Artificial Intelligence in Transportation: The use of AI in transportation to automate tasks and improve efficiency of transportation systems.
Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars and trucks that use sensors, cameras and artificial intelligence to operate without human intervention.
Blockchain in Transportation: The use of blockchain technology in transportation to improve transparency and security in supply chain management and logistics.
Connected Vehicles: The connection of vehicles to each other and to infrastructure to improve safety and efficiency.
Drones in Transportation: The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to transport goods and people, inspect infrastructure and perform other tasks in transportation.
Electric Vehicles: Vehicles that run on electric power, reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based transportation.
Energy Storage Systems: Batteries and other storage systems that can store energy from renewable sources for use in transportation and other applications.
Hyperloop: A high-speed transportation system utilizing pressurized tubes to move people and goods at high speeds.
Internet of Things (IoT) in Transportation: The use of IoT sensors and devices to collect data and manage transportation systems.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS): Services that allow users to access multiple transportation modes through a single platform, improving mobility and reducing the need for car ownership.
Sustainable Transportation: Transportation that is designed to reduce its impact on the environment and improve sustainability.
Urban Air Mobility: The use of air vehicles for transportation in urban areas, including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Virtual Reality in Transportation: The use of virtual and augmented reality to design and simulate transportation systems.
Wearables in Transportation: Devices worn or embedded in clothing or accessories that can provide information and monitor health for transportation users.
Zero-emission Vehicles: A vehicle that produces zero emissions, either by using renewable energy or by not using an engine.
Electric vehicles: Powered by electricity from batteries, electric vehicles are a growing mode of transportation that emit no tailpipe pollutants and have lower maintenance costs than traditional gas-powered vehicles.
Autonomous vehicles: These are self-driving vehicles that use sensors and software to navigate roads and highways without human intervention.
Flying cars: Vehicles that can fly and drive on roads are being developed to reduce congestion and travel time.
Hyperloop: A high-speed transportation system that uses magnetic levitation technology to transport passengers or freight through a vacuum-sealed tube.
Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft: Aircraft that can take off and land vertically, making them ideal for urban transportation.
Personal rapid transit (PRT): An innovative form of public transportation that uses small, automated vehicles to transport passengers quickly and conveniently.
Maglev trains: Maglev trains use magnetic levitation to propel trains along a track without the need for wheels, reducing friction and increasing speed.
Hyperloop pods: Hyperloop pods are vehicles that travel through the hyperloop tube at high speeds, carrying passengers or freight.
Solar-powered vehicles: These vehicles are powered by solar energy, which can be a renewable and sustainable source of energy for transportation.
Fuel cell vehicles: These vehicles use hydrogen as the fuel source and produce only water vapor as a byproduct, making them a zero-emission form of transportation.
