How can Transportation be improved?
There are many answers to this question. However, it depends on what perspective you are viewing from. As an engineer, transportation can be improved by creating and designing more quality vehicles. When the demand is high, the prices go up. And when the prices go up, the quality goes down. As a consumer of transportation, it can be be improved by providing more reliable sources and quality service. Transportation can also be improved with better web interfaces. Making the business available worldwide.
This is a rather broad question, and one that can only be touched upon here. Technocracy has proposed many designs and redesigns ranging from individual vehicles to entire continent-sized transportation networks. Perhaps one of the most important of these proposals is the design of a Continental Hydrology. By carefully building dams and canals in the right places, the river systems of the continent can be connected to create a continent-spanning waterway network. This would provide access for the most energy efficient form of transportation currently known: water transport. This network could be used at little energy cost for large amounts of slow bulk transportation. For faster transcontinental travel, an single, high-speed railway system could be developed that was not only more efficient than current trains, but faster and more comfortable. Of course, for only the fastest needs, aircraft of various sorts could still be used. On a more local level, there are many things that can be d
