3. Why we upgrade the future transportation ?
 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
 Many ideas exist which try to either harness renewable
forms of energy, more efficiently use fossil fuel, or use
human power, or some hybrid of these, to move people
and things.

4. 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.

5. Intelligent transportation 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

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

7.  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.
 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. Vehicle re-identification.
3. GPS based methods.
4. Smartphone-based rich monitoring.

8. 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

9. 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.

11. 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 way of use of the jetpack in the military or as a
means of personal transport, including the challenges
of Earth's atmosphere, Earth's gravity, low energy
density of available fuels, and the human body not
being naturally adapted to fly

12. Liquid-fuelled rocket pack
1. Andreyev: oxygen-and-methane, with wings:
 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

14. Launch loop
 A launch loop is a proposed system for launching objects
into space orbit using a moving cable-like system situated
inside a sheath attached to the Earth at two ends and
suspended above the atmosphere in the middle.
 Launch loops are intended to achieve non-rocket space
launch of vehicles weighing 5 metric tons
by electromagnetically accelerating.
 The system is designed to be suitable for launching
humans for space tourism space exploration and space
colonization and provides a relatively low 3g acceleration

itself, blue lines are stationary cables.

16. Personal rapid transit
 Personal rapid transit (PRT), also referred to as pod
cars, is a public transport mode featuring small
automated vehicles operating on a network of specially
built guide ways.
 PRT is a type of automated guide way transit (AGT), a
class of system which also includes larger vehicles all
the way to small subway systems.
 PRT vehicles are sized for individual or small group
travel, typically carrying no more than three to six
passengers per vehicle.

18. 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

20. 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.

22. 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.
