Information Transporation

Modern information society relies on outsourcing, which lessens the need for staff to be physically present and, in turn, reduces the need for daily travel to and from a fixed workplace. Time and environmental factors are also increasingly prominent, driving demand for transport systems that are adequate, reliable, ecologically friendly and safe. In cities especially, however, prevailing transport infrastructures often cannot be readily modernised due to a host of economic, historical, environmental, political and other restraints. We have to look, therefore, at means of increasing the capacity of existing infrastructure and pose the question how this might be most rationally achieved.
