EVOLUTION OF TRANSPORTATION

Prepared by: Sumagang, Charie Rose D.

Transportation is the movement of goods and persons
from place to place and the various means by which
such movement is accomplished.

Today, the forms of transportation we
use are many.
❏ Electric Cars ❏ Mule Vehicles
❏ Electric Scooters ❏ Submarines
❏ Speed Boats ❏ Hybrid Cars
❏ Hovercrafts ❏ Propeller Plains
❏ 4-wheelers ❏ Cruise Ships
❏ Jet Skis ❏ Helicopters
❏ Trains ❏ Golf Carts
❏ Electric Trains
How technology
helps evolve
transportation?
Thomas Savery (1650-1715)
English inventor and engineer

Sees a problem and solved it when miners

digged very deep into the ground. The ground
water flowed into the mine. He invented steam
engine.
The first steam engine

❏ Machine which raises water by

the help of the power stream.
❏ A fire boil water.
❏ The steam spread and blows into
the bowl where the water is.
❏ The water goes upwards.
❏ The valve closes.
Thomas Newcomen (1663-1779)
❏ Improved the steam engine called
Newcomen Steam Engine.
❏ This engine could transport water
higher because it uses the power of
atmospheric pressure and not limited.
❏ 1712 Newcomen and John Calley built
the first steam engine to pump water
out of a water-filled coal mine.
What is the use of steam engine and how

does it connects to transportation?

❏ Inventors used steam
engine to develop.
❏ Steam-diesel-engine
❏ Which it is used to
power a locomotive.
❏ The bulk of a steam engine made it impractical to be
applied to road transportation.
❏ The internal combustion engine (ICE) in the late 19th
century brought the large-scale mechanization of
transportation modes, especially road transport.
❏ For rail, diesel locomotives replaced steam engines,
improving power and range.
❏ For air transport, the internal combustion engine (piston
engine) allowed heavier planes and the emergence of the
first commercial services in the 1920s.
❏ For maritime, metallic hulls and fuel propulsion enabled the
growth of ship size as well as their specialization (oil,
freight, containers).
 FUTURE
TRANSPORTATION
TECHNOLOGIES
 Lightweight
Vehicles
To deliver high
vehicles that are
efficient and give
high performance.
 Hyperloop
This project will help to
reduce the complexity
of inner-city transport.
 Delivery
Drones
To develop the
drones for the fast
miles delivery.
 Bicycle
Sharing
System
Use electric bicycles for
various delivers and can handle
other services cost-effectively.
 Flying Taxis
Used to flies
passengers to their
destination with
electrically
powered.
 Autonomous
Cars
Comfortable with
self-driving thing and
said to be safer than
human-driven cars.
