Abstract
Problems caused by climate change, environmental pollution, population growth, lack of resources and limited land areas for agriculture and human habitation will require a variety of innovative solutions to be rapidly developed and implemented in the coming decades. The number of vehicles on roads worldwide is projected to reach the two billion mark by 2040 and the UK Department of Transport predicts that the traffic volumes to increase by 55% between now and then. Transport accounts for about a quarter of the UK’s greenhouse emissions which will create massive challenges for road transport systems and the environment.
