Introduction
We live in an age of unparalleled innovation, and innovation effects all we do and how we do it. But at the forefront of the news and capturing the imagination of the public is innovation in transportation. From changes in business and industry processes like Uber, to changes in hardware with partial to fully automated vehicles, the world of the automobile is in rapid transition. However, exciting innovation in transportation is not limited to automobiles. From broadband connectivity on airplanes, to Carnival Corporation’s cruise ships featuring a new vacation management system controlled from a guest’s wrist, to a freight train’s ultrasonic detection analysis, these innovations highlight the exciting changes already underway across the transportation industries.
