Abstract

The analysis of transportation innovation begins by describing the principal features of transportation activities and characterizing innovation and technology deployment activities. The analysis of the characteristics of the separate modes and their components, guideways, vehicles, control technologies, and institutions are discussed. Characteristics of transportation that effect innovation and are common to all modes, characteristics such as the standardization necessary to link individual modes into networks, are examined.
