The document discusses the development of transport over time from early humans walking and dragging items, to the development of the wheel and early wheeled vehicles. It then outlines some of the major developments in transport including the first roads made of packed soil, the domestication of animals and use of sails, and early paved road surfaces using broken stones and mortar. It provides a brief overview of improvements to vehicles and developments like the magnetic compass, steam power, railways, paved highways, air travel, and proposals for future transport technologies like hyperloop.

Dragged, Rolled, Pushed, what
he/She needed to transport
Alone or as group
Early “Roads” were worn Paths
First Vehicle
Most Like a sled/ Sledge
Man Becomes Mobile
The development of the wheel led to
the development wheeled vehicle First Roads Mesopotamia Hard surfaces for travel purposes Most likely packed, soil, etc Early Transport
Domostcate Animal Sails
Wheeled Vehicle Early Pavement Technology
Used broken stones in mortar for road way surface
Vehicle Upgrade
New Development Finding the Way
Magnetic compass probeply invented in China
Adopted by European mariners
Getting Steamed Paving the Way Riding the Rails Sailing the seas The auto Debuts The Modern Highway Taking flight Key Events Beyond the Earth What is future of Transport Sky lifter Hyperloop
