Even airplanes are getting a makeover \u2013 Airbus announced zero-emission concept commercial aircraft, ZEROe, which can enter service as early as 2035. This is achieved by using autonomous vehicles with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). They can use bunker fuel, nuclear power, wind power, or even large pusher fans, like in the case of hovercrafts. Additionally, cables or chains can pull rail vehicles, while gas turbines and pneumatics can power them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By combining engineering discipline with smart technology, civil engineers can create corridors and networks that move people and goods safely, cleanly, and predictably\u2014today and for decades to come. Focus on person-throughput, reliability, and safety, and let those outcomes guide every procurement and deployment decision. Track travel time reliability, person-throughput, injury crashes, 85th percentile speed vs. target, emissions per trip, charger uptime, and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
