Ausubel, J. & Marchetti, C. (2001). The Evolution of Transport. The Industrial Physicist, April/May, 20- 24.
Article (5 pg) gives historic data on human travel instincts compared to transportation technology - with
projections aimed to advocate Maglev trains. The data appears constant over history that people average
1 hr/day of travel, typically round trips from home (80% of the time) and where school and work are the
temporary destinations. Also, and again consistent over time, the resources devoted to travel is 12-15%
of total resources. This means for wa lking (2.5 km/h), the village territory is 20 km2. Driving (40km/h),
territory is 1,000 km2. For flying (600km/h), the territory was unspecified due to differences in the
proportion of population using air flight and the differences in time devoted (different travel reasons) .

While long-term projections
suggest that implants might ultimately become viable, the most likely near-term embodiments are
noninvasive means, such as the existing commercial products Mindset, by NeuroSky, and nia, by OCZ
Technology. Accuracy is improving as this technology is further researched.
