1. Introduction

Consider a question such as this appearing in the exam

Discuss the use of ICT in the future of transportation.

This is a very open-ended question with no definite answer. It does not even define a specific form of transport (Road, Sea, Air). It is up to you to bring together what you know about the problems in transport and how technology will help to some extent.

You might also be given a scenario in the exam and then asked a question related to that specific situation. For example, the exam paper might be based around the scenario of a warehouse that delivers goods all over the world. You might then be asked a question such as this:

Discuss possible future developments in ICT and how that might impact on the way the warehouse transports its goods to customers.

This mini-web looks at some of the up and coming technological developments in the field of transport.
