Entrepreneurship scenario: Transportation

Transportation Scenario Examples

  1. Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft

Problem

Congested ground traffic in settlements is a serious challenge.  The result is pollution of the urban environment, waste of time and resources.

Potential Solutions

  • Electric “air taxis”
  • Electric public transport
  • Alternative transport routes – air, underground, vacuum tubes

Example

Companies like Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation are developing eVTOLs for urban air mobility. These electric “air taxis” aim to reduce urban congestion by enabling quick and efficient short-range air travel

 

  1. Hyperloop Transportation

Problem

New technologies are needed for high-speed ground or underground transport

Potential Solutions

  • High-speed vehicles traveling through near-vacuum tubes
  • Magnetic Cushion Vehicles

Example

Virgin Hyperloop

Virgin Hyperloop and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies are working on high-speed pods traveling through near-vacuum tubes, potentially revolutionizing long-distance ground transport with speeds over 700 mph.

  1. Autonomous Delivery Robots

Problem

The last-mile delivery of goods from distribution centers to customers’ doorsteps is often challenging and costly.

Potential Solutions

  • Self-driving robots
  • Autonomous drones

Example

Starship Technologies

Companies like Starship Technologies and Nuro use small, self-driving robots to deliver food, groceries, and parcels. These are designed to enhance last-mile delivery efficiency.

 

  1. Electric and Autonomous Trucks

Problem

Autonomous vehicles can solve a number of problems related to the shortage of truck drivers, traffic safety, traffic management and emission reduction.

Potential Solutions

  • Creating autonomous electric trucks
  • Анализ на видео информация и данни от системи за управление на автопарка, базирани на GPS технология, с цел обучаване на алгоритми за управление на автономни превозни средства.

Example

Ventures like Tesla Semi, Einride, and Nikola Motors are developing electric and semi-autonomous or fully autonomous trucks to decarbonize freight transportation and improve safety.

 

  1. Micro mobility Solutions

Problem

Short-distance urban travel

Potential solutions

  • Car-share
  • Shared electric scooters and bikes

Example

Bird

Shared electric scooters and bikes, offered by companies like Bird, Lime, and Voi, provide eco-friendly solutions for short-distance urban travel.
