Technology Advancement in Relation to Transport Poverty

Abstract

Transport poverty (TP) is a widespread problem that affects individuals and communities all over the world, restricting access to services, education, job prospects, and social contacts. However, advancement of technology has emerged in easing TP by improving accessibility, affordability, and efficiency in transport systems. The advancements in electric and hybrid vehicles, ridesharing platforms, autonomous vehicles, and micro-mobility have contributed to addressing the challenges faced by communities experiencing TP. By promoting these technological innovations and inclusive transport policies, societies can potentially strive towards a more equitable and sustainable future. The paper studies the influence of technology on TP and its potential to ameliorate issues related. Moreover, it discusses various aspects of novel technologies on TP and presents carefully selected (dis)advantages of certain solutions’ applications.
