The Future of Intelligent Mobility
Individual elements of 'mobility' began to homogenise from the invention of the wheel. But it takes time for apparently unconnected elements to merge into a comprehensive solution due to imagination and what may be possible. However, as the term 'Intelligent Mobility Solutions' implies, a broader view of mobility is necessary.
For example, considering how to help people with disabilities to travel on public transport initially led to making space on buses and trains for wheelchairs but with a wider view, helped by the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), the whole journey began to be considered and led to raised kerbs at bus stops, drop kerbs and so on. Yet even this was more of a 'tick list' for a time and far more can be done throughout the journey.
Mobility as a Service (Maas) is evolving rapidly and not all for our benefit; there is a desire to prevent car ownership and driving freely without observation. The adoption of e-scooters is proving less straightforward than once thought with Paris now considering their removal due to death and injury - has personal responsibility disappeared? Level 5 autonomy will continue to kill and maim but since the agenda is to implement it at all cost, it is of less importance. But what is the problem?
New technologies are often initially implemented with old or existing technologies which can be a recipe for disaster. Ideally, a serious attempt to provide such technology must include areas specifically created for them and this would avoid many of the hazards. TBL has a plan that would allow integration during migration and the time is right to begin this process now.
Energy is under threat due to the growing number EVs and the growing use of e-things, blackouts are imminent, apparently. In 2012 I heard a professor suggesting 2017 would see mass blackouts due to energy shortages. Hey, it's 2021 and it's not happened yet... just like a number of similar prophecies of doom. One thing could prevent this problem immediately but is it being blocked by energy companies?
Free energy surrounds us: kinetic, solar, WIFI and more, and such could be used to power our vehicles and other electrical devices. This is understood by electrical & electronic specialists and is being held back in favour of improving battery technology; Faraday Challenge... 30% improvement over 15 years. Developing Super-Capacitors using 2D materials like Graphene and Graphene Oxide would resolve all energy issues. It is a Clean solution, unlike Lithium Batteries which are toxic and have to be disposed of very carefully. Graphene is simply Carbon, the stuff humans and our world is made of. Not something to be feared and not something which can be removed from our world - it is natural and essential in spite of what we are being told.
The time to develop Super-Caps for transport is now. Batteries are toxic, dangerous, highly inefficient, and essentially redundant.
