Upcoming Revolution in the Transportation System and Its Effects on Our Lives

Every single object in the universe is moving. Human being is no exception. From its birth in this planet, humans have to move from here and there for the purpose of searching food, cope with extreme weather condition, conquering new territories and so on. As a result, the biggest endeavor was the continuous improvement of transport system which means short journey time, easier way to transport supplies and improved trade, resulting in prosperity for all communities.

An individual can not satisfy all his/ her needs oneself. One needs to depend on all others for everyday needs and survival. A person tries to serve others in some way and at the same time, avail goods and services from others in multiple ways for meeting daily needs.

For all these things to be carried out, human needs to move. The faster the means of their movement, the more the efficiency in their life. It is no surprise that humans spend a huge amount of time, wealth and hard work for developing new ways of vehicles throughout the history and they have been able to invent many. Consequently, a great efficiency has been achieved in their lives.

But humans have never stopped finding faster efficient ways to travel. Their continuous search for new ways of transportation is probably going to reach another milestone, which is going to be a new reality soon when they will travel at a speed of 1135 kilometers per hour.

The contribution of Wheel in Human Civilization

Wheel means a lot for human civilization. It revolutionizes in a massive scale in transport system, industrialization, international trade and so on. Human being discovers its existence in a fully new way by it; production soars, distribution becomes easy, prices gets down, poverty starts to eliminate, new machines invented and so on.

From then now on, the onward march is relentless. But the saturation period may be reached very soon. A complete revision of technology in transportation is waiting to unveil before the human race which will accelerate and impact the movement of everything in the world.

A tremendously speedy transport system will add a new dimension to the excellence of the human race very soon. The total travelling time in a person’s life will significantly get down as a result s/he can have another life of around extra 15-30 years as one spends a significant amount of one’s life time in journey.

At the backdrop of a new technological revolution in transport sector

In the living memory, we consider airway the fastest mode of transport. The average cruising speed of a passenger plane is around 553 kilometer per hour. But it is too costly and in most cases, for most people, it is only an option while travelling outside of the country.

Certainly, there are dozens of private and public jet companies which operate flights inside a country, connecting various towns but general people prefer other means like land or waters as a cheaper option.

What if all these people can have access to a transport system which can run at a speed of 553 kilometers per hour on the land ways? What will be the effect on their lives?

Few days ago, China has inaugurated its fastest train, CNN, A maglev bullet train, which can run at a speed of 338 miles per hour equivalent to more than 604 kilometers.

This is a great example of Magnetic levitation which is absolutely without wheels. Using this technology, the vehicle will be suspended in the air without any support other than magnetic field. This wonder of modern science is able to create frictionless, efficient and far out-sounding technologies.

It is for sure that this is going to be the reality around the world in near future. This is not the ending of the story. Hyperloop is going to mesmerize the whole world very soon. It is a extremely fast mass transportation system for both general passengers and freight transport.

Hyperloop is the tube through which a pod, the vehicle, can run at an extreme speed through low air pressure without any frictions or air resistance.

Virgin hyperloop, the only company in the world, has been able to successfully use this technology. The most astounding factor is that it can run as fast as 764 miles per hour equivalent to around 1335 kilometers per hour which is almost the speed of the sound. From this, we can easily guess what is going to happen in near future. I am truly excited and what about you?

What does it mean for cross border trade?

These future innovations like Maglev or Hyperloop are going to affect the international trade massively within the timeline of three to five years maximum. The goods transportation time will be extremely low and cheap. Currently, the waterway is chosen as the cheapest way although not a fastest one. On the other hand, airway is preferred as the fastest way but is extremely costly and certainly not an efficient solution for most businesses.

Moreover, the upcoming technologies are extremely environment friendly; almost zero carbon emission and no fossil fuel. Another important point is that it will create huge dynamism in the global markets. The poor economics will also start to do better as rich nations will import more from them because of cheap labor and shortest possible transportation time.

The labor dynamics across the globe will increase at an accelerating speed for the convenience of movement at a short time. The middle class and lower class will experience an upsurge in income and prosperity.

Because of the rapid movement of the goods, the availability will become widespread almost everywhere, resulting in lower price and better quality. Within a short period of time, holistic market symmetry will be created, meaning a greater well being for all stake holders.

One thing must be mentioned here. The interference of multiple middlemen in the supply chain will surely abolish because of a single fastest transport system. The middlemen are blamed for price hikes, market manipulations and hoarding of goods, especially in the inefficient economics of the world.

Advanced Healthcare and Greater Well Being

People’s overall journey time will significantly reduce, resulting in greater well being. A long journey does not only consume huge amount of time but also energy and money. Saving journey times means more spare time for other pursuits.

The most important thing is that if people can travel countries, spending the amount of time which they require now to travel their cities then the wonder will happen in their lives and living.

The quality of lives will certainly improve as they will be able to sell their capability in better markets in other countries and at a greater price. People can avail better healthcare more cheaply and fast as they will be able to save their valuable time and money.

Effect on Travel and tourism industry

Travel and tourism industry will be booming. It is no doubt that people will travel more because of cheap and fast transport system. The whole world will be a closer one. Huge mingling will take place among the people of the world. Differences among the people from different countries will abolish. More equality will be achieved in short time. Discrimination will go down.

In addition, poverty will also decline. The economics around the globe which are sorely dependent upon tourism industry will be among the richest nations within short time. As the scope of this industry broadens, the employment opportunities for the youths across the globe will also increase.

The world has already entered into a virtual age, which makes the concept of place and time almost useless. People can connect with each other at anywhere at any time.

Virtual workplace has already made physical presence unnecessary. But it is the turn in technological advancement in transport sector which may make the whole world to rethink about our virtual presence. If we can move very fast between distant places in the quickest time possible, we can also be able to enjoy the benefit of virtual space and physical presence together. It will surely uplift our well being and increase the effectiveness of our life.
