Introduction
Mechanical engineering holds a promising future in the field of modern transportation. With the development of technology, creativity, and innovation in the manufacture of cars has increased. Modern cars have changed our view and concept of transportation, so in the near future we will explore more modern types that suit our needs and are supported by different technologies. In this article, we will discuss the role of mechanical engineering in changing advanced transportation technologies in addition to the impact of these changes on our daily lives.
Cars of the Future
Self-driving cars: considered as a revolution in the world of modern transportation. Mechanical engineers have developed cars that can determine their location and making the necessary driving decisions without human intervention. Modern technologies such as sensors and artificial intelligence, are the core technologies driving these vehicles. which enable them to reduce road accidents and increase the efficiency of road use. Despite the challenges facing the manufacture of these cars, they have a promising future in the field of modern transportation.
Electric and hybrid cars: They feature high energy efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Electric cars primarily operate on storing energy in interior batteries. As for hybrid cars, they combine thermal combustion engine technology and an electric motor. In general, these modern technologies contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and protecting the environment.
Smart design and advanced materials: The automotive industry is moving towards using more efficient and high-performance materials. Designers use light and durable materials at the same time, such as aluminum and carbon fiber, in the manufacture of the exterior body of cars, which contributes to reducing their weight and increasing their speed. Additive manufacturing technologies (3D printing) are also used to manufacture complex parts faster and more efficiently.
Future transportation technologies
Smart public transportation: Mechanical engineers seek to develop self-driving buses to increase the efficiency of public transportation and reduce traffic accidents. Additionally, they are working on developing high-speed magnetic levitation trains.
Air Transportation: Besides cars and other Road transport vehicles, engineers are working to develop electric planes and personal flying vehicles. the advancement in air transportation will change and facilate the way we travel in the future.
Marine Transport: The maritime transport sector is also witnessing major developments, as larger and more efficient ships are being developed. There is also a focus on reducing marine pollution through the use of new technologies and advanced cleaning systems.
