TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP: TRANSPORTATION

TABLE 2.2 RESEARCH AGENDA FOR ‘I’ AND ’M’

Public transport services and freight logistics should
be highly optimized and real time responsive.
-------------------------------------------------------
Urban/ Suburban hubs should be developed and
connected to main corridors.
-------------------------------------------------------
SHORT Intelligent deployment of road space in response to
demand (tidal systems, lane allocation, and light
TERM weight temporary structures in the areas of dense
(1-5 Years) development).
-------------------------------------------------------
Intelligent monitoring of roads and structures.
-------------------------------------------------------
Electronic means of access (tele-working etc.) to
enhance and complement the travel, and provide
partial substitution.

Construction of long-life roads and more durable
structures.
-------------------------------------------------------
MEDIUM Investment for construction/ maintenance on the
TERM basis of whole-life costs and low maintenance
(5-10 Years) disruption.
-------------------------------------------------------
Minimized “down time” for maintenance and
accident clearance.
