The Danish capital Copenhagen is building bicycle superhighways radiating out from the city centre. These developments combined may make worrying reading for driving enthusiasts.

Professor Michael Sivak, at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute has published just a series of reports looking at car use,

which have extensive public transport networks, and where the costs of parking can far outweigh the cost of a purchase of a subway ticket.

#Edge-of-space planes to free-up congested skies Making predictions about the future of aviation is dangerous;

Few in aviation's golden age could have foreseen how cheap flying would become; in 1939 a Transatlantic airline ticket cost up to $90,

000 in today's money and nobody predicted the transatlantic passenger liner would ever be replaced.

Airships were supposed to be the way of the future, not aircraft. Experts believed the aviation industry would die because of environmental concerns and falling passenger numbers.

But despite these concerns it has collapsed not. In some sectors, business and leisure travel are booming.

Airports are getting busier, even in a Europe grappling with downturn and austerity. All the major regions are improving

and we are seeing real growth in Africa for the first time, with new African carriers appearing. New generations of aircraft like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus a380 are far more efficient than older aircraft#70%more fuel efficient than aircraft of 40 years ago, according to the International air transport association (IATA.

Transport's impact on the environment is lessening, and nowhere will the impact be greater than in aviation.

By the year 2050, the world's population may have risen to 10 billion, with 75%of them living in cities.

These cities will be connected evermore by air, dependant on the movement of people and goods between them.

New materials and new engine technology will continue to make aviation more efficient. Plane designs will make more use of carbon composites and, in the future, carbon nanofibres.

Air traffic control and airport management will also be revolutionised as digital technology makes aircraft easier to manage.

Lighter aircraft can be bigger and carry more freight and passengers. New fuelsin years to come they can be flown remotely, too.

Passenger aircraft might not be flown remotely#we will still feel safer with a human in the cockpit

#but automated air traffic could double the capacity of the flight paths around the world and only airport capacity would constrain us.

The stuff of science fiction? Not exactly. British aerospace flew an aircraft remotely to Inverness in Scotland this summer in a Civil aviation Authority-supported experiment.

Allowing UAVS to monitor and spray crops is regulated already and sanctioned in both North and South america.

The best bio fuel for aviation is probably butanol, an alcohol which behaves very like the kerosene that the jet engines of today use.

and if an economically efficient method can be found to industrialise that process then your flight of the future could literally be fuelled by alcohol.

The number of aircraft flying on our skies, however, also depends on the infrastructure to safely manage it.

as a result of Congress failing to back reforms proposed by the Federal Aviation Authority#after a very famous air traffic controllers strike more than 25 years ago.#

and mobile signals bounced off aircraft will replace the 1940s-era radar system still in use by#air traffic control,

and allow planes to land more efficiently, using less fuel in the process. Although no air traffic system is using such signals at the moment,

the Technology Strategy Board of the UK government is now funding an experiment to look at the practicalities of using the BBC's Freeview#a free-to-air DIGITAL TV signal#for just such a purpose.

which could make space travel a long-haul passenger's reality. In the UK, a company called Skylon has attracted just#60m ($110m) of government funding to develop a futuristic type of engine known as a"reaction engine#.#

However, these flights are likely to run from dedicated spaceports and it will be some time before mixed-mode airports that can operate both spacecraft

and aircraft become possible. The early space systems will probably involve gliding back to Earth

#which may mean our airports will have to be redesigned to make them useable by these different designs.

The futuristic visions of the 1950s and 60s imagined neighbourhood airports and helicopters in our back gardens-but space travel is more likely.

#Sic transit gloriaas exciting as the plans for direct imaging are, most exoplanets are still found using indirect techniques#such as detecting a wobble in the position of the star that indicates it is being pulled slightly towards an orbiting planet,

because the odds that any single planet discovered by Doppler will also transit are very low,

#Samsung Sticks It to Apple With Swiss Railways Deal (Updates with comment from SBB in fifth paragraph.

Samsung Electronics sent out a press release last week saying its gadgets had been chosen for a technology buildout at Swiss Federal Railways.

Except that less than two years ago Swiss Railways which is also known as SBB publicly accused Apple of copying one of its designs.

Reto Scharli a spokesman for SBB said the railway operator's decision to team up with Samsung was unrelated to the issue with Apple in 2012.

Swiss Railways publicly asked for bidders for the project and Samsung made the best offer he said.

Swiss Railways will use a smattering of Samsung gadgets#the Galaxy Note 3 Galaxy S4 Galaxy S4 Mini

and Galaxy Tab 3#for employee communication as well as for ticket purchasing and other train services Samsung said.

When the Pilot Can Elbit Systems is developing new applications for smart helmets for pilots that will be able to sense life-threatening developments during flight.

For this application Elbit Systems adapted a commercial sensor developed by Lifebeam, an Israeli start-up company that developed such a sensor to monitor peak performance for extreme sportsathletes such as marathon runners, bicyclists and mountain climbers.

Helmets with integrated sensors were tested in a centrifuge under high G loads with pilots wearing G-suits.

On other tests pilots flew with them under loads of up to 6g. he test results we have collected so far have shown that the sensors performed predictably and reliably, monitoring the pilot condition

In non-pressurized cockpits, for example, when flying helicopters over high mountain ranges, hypoxia can develop slowly over the course of an hour.

When caused by oxygen supply failures or human condition, blood oxygen levels can drop, from 90 to 60-70 percent.

when pilots are subjected to excessive loads without the recommended preparation. Usually a pilot would recover from GLOC in 20 seconds

but, during the condition, the aircraft is uncontrolled and could hit the ground. A warning issued just prior to the onset of GLOC could alert the pilot to take precautions,

breath properly, apply pressure to reduce the load or ease the sharpness of the turn to reduce G. The sensor can profile each individual pilot

and assess his or her performance and tolerance on the specific flight. Once the system ecidesthat the pilot is in danger,

it triggers an audiovisual warning alerting the pilot to take action. In case the system ensesthat the pilot is unconscious

the autopilot can be activated to take control

Other strong sectors included building efficiency and public transportation. Job announcements were made in 46 states, with California roughly 15,400 jobs topping the list.

This is the second full year that E2 has tracked clean energy and clean transportation job announcements. Over the past two years combined, E2 has tracked more than 500 announcements that could create more than 186,500 jobs.

buses are slow (the slowest bus lines in New york city average 3. 4 miles per hour), and tend to be inefficient.

Though fuel economy varies depending on the type of bus and the route, an average bus in D c gets a paltry 3. 76 miles per gallon (mpg),

Moving beyond conventional diesel buses Over the past several decades, cities have invested in buses that run on alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and diesel-electric hybrid drive trains.

In 2011, more than 35 percent of U s. public transit buses used alternative fuels or hybrid technology, and that number is set to grow.
