 Even the green cities of the future will contain extensive areas of buildings, roads, railways,

British designer Phil Pauley has developed a concept for a sea habitat comprising interconnected spherical modules that could submerge during storms

It feeds agriculture and energy production, drives industrial processes and transportation systems, and nourishes the ecosystems that we depend upon.

How about transport companies, who are doing it for real? What's their solution? It's mostly trial and error.

 In a nutshell, the problem is many of Africa's rural farmers can't get their produce to the markets in time, because of bad roads, lack of communication,

because"cabbies  and"fares  alike expect a London taxi to be a very particular type of vehicle:

 In fact, between now and 2030, the number of passengers and number of fights is likely to more than double

 Airline manufacturers and carriers are all too well aware of these effects and are working to try to mitigate them."

In the short term biofuels are looked on as a potential savior as most commercial passenger jets can use them with little to no modification,

The assumption is that at some point these vehicles will drive better and more safely than we can,

including the mass movement of large populations to cities, the development of mass production, globalisation, improved transport, international trade and public broadcast media.

and give guidance on how to maximize yields. They also collect information from the farmers-such as which crops are expected growing

His idea is to use the carbon dioxide to make liquid fuels for transport vehicles. Carbon dioxide can react with water to produce carbon monoxide

and the cost of transportation is very high on the continent because of high fuel prices and terrible roads.

from gauging distances between cars in adaptive cruise control to mapping forest canopies and detecting the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere.

   At a spot in an ancient road that previous surveys had marked down as little more than a widening of the carriageway,

It seemed that the wide spot in the road was in reality a surprisingly large pre-Hispanic capital.

The more buildings, roads, wells, agricultural terraces and residential complexes are found, the higher the number of people that lived there.

if you ever drive down a wide-open road. Looking out the car window, you might see trees right near the road speeding by, jagged rocks a bit further in the distance moving more slowly,

Whenever a new road or building is constructed, soil is sealed effectively underneath it. Because most cities and towns around the world have grown from small settlements where hundreds of years ago people discovered the most fertile land,

By contrast, her research team found feral populations of herbicide-resistant canola growing along roads, near petrol stations and grocery stores, often at large distances from areas of agricultural production.

and fallen off a truck during transport. Sagers agrees that feral populations could have become established after trucks carrying cultivated GM seeds spilled some of their load during transportation.

She notes that the frequency and population density of GM canola that they found may be biased as they only sampled along roadsides.

One driving-simulator study found that nearly half the time one vehicle passed another, the lead vehicle had a faster average speed.

All this leads to highway turbulence, which is why many traffic modelers see adaptive cruise control (A c. C.)#which automatically maintains a set distance behind a car and the vehicle in front of it#as the key to congestion relief.

Simulations have found that if some 20 percent of vehicles on a highway were equipped with advanced A c. C.,

certain jams could be avoided simply through harmonizing speeds and smoothing driver reactions. One study shows that even a highway that is running at peak capacity has only 4. 5 percent of its surface area occupied.

When a quarter of the vehicles on a simulated highway had A c. C, . cumulative travel time dropped by 37.5 percent.
