Abstract

AbstractA sustainable transport system is one which offers economical solutions and causes no/little damage to the environment. We usually categorize transport into three sections - roads, airways and water. Such systems need to be set up in order to have a transportation medium or ecosystem with minimum environmental impact. Public buses are an excellent example of sustainable road transportation. They can accommodate a large number of people economically and help ease the financial burden on individuals. Unfortunately, the majority of public buses are powered by non-renewable energy sources such as diesel. This results in the release of hazardous pollutants, leading to a degraded environment. Although the cost of using this form of transportation is relatively affordable, it nonetheless has an adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, it cannot be considered sustainable in that regard. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation by introducing new technologies such as IoT, AI, Blockchain and 5G into our smart and sustainable transportation system. This way we can ensure its sustainability from all angles. The impact of transportation on our society is undeniable- both in terms of economic, social and environmental implications. To ensure a better quality of life for all, we must shift to smart and sustainable transport solutions. This research seeks to present a clever and eco-friendly transport system that brings economic and social advantages for developing countries.
