Abstract

Transport technology has evolved over time to increase dramatically the speed, scale, and ambition of human movement across and beyond the earth. This overview traces the historical development of propulsion that enabled mobility to attain successively remote frontiers. It then considers the design of increasingly comfortable and secure vehicles over time, followed by a review of experience in building increasingly complex infrastructure. A brief discussion of contemporary advances in transport technology across these three dimensions concludes this overview.
