1.Railway
transportation in future
The future of rail includes a base scenario that projects
the evolution of the railways sector to 2050 on the basis
of announced policies, regulations and projects. It also
include s a high rail scenario to demonstrate the energy
and environmental benefits of a more significant shift
of passengers and goods to rail transport. While the
high rail scenario requires about 60% more investment
than in the base scenario ,global CO2 emissions from
transportation peak in the late 2030 air pollution is
reduced and oil demand is lowered.
3.Air transportation in future
As
the transportation industry continues to grow the
sector concentrating on providing innovative
solutions to meet the emerging needs of future air
travel passengers and market demands. They are also
addressing issues concerning costs , safety security
and environmental impacts .New technological
advances are creating many possible future to
make the civil aviation industry sustainable.

Self driving cars are expected to be on the roads more quickly than
was anticipated just a few years ago and in greater numbers .
Forecast vary ,as they always do , but the emerging consensus among
the industry’s auger players is that minimum ,feel vehicles -trucks
taxis and buses that can take control and make decisions .i.e. SEA
level 3 ,will be in use the end of this decade .More recent into the
industry like Teals and the Delphi Mobileye partnership believe fully
autonomous vehicles, i.e. SEA 4 or 5 , will be available around the
same time ; Nu Toney ,a start up spun out of MIT, is already
conducting roads trails in Singapore.
