Socialization of public transport in the new technological paradigm
The humanity is entering the 6th technological paradigm. The technologies that shape it, form new sectors of the economy, will trigger change in educational programmes, and emergence of innovative modes of transport and connection. Maglev transport system, where one of the key advantages over conventional transport is full automation, is a powerful instrument for innovative development of mainline infrastructure, and an optimal solution, that enables achieving digital the socialization of public transport. In accordance with the laws of transition to the next technological paradigm, transport will face a technical revolution. The existing transport development model is maintained by gigantic infusion of resources. However, it is obvious that this is a backward model, being inadequate to both the society and business. The development of projects of innovative transport based on maglev technology, will foster development of new materials, technologies and hardware. The maglev technology is multifunctional, it allows engineering transport systems for various purposes, that correspond to consumers’ changing demand. Its application spheres are not fully exposed yet. However, the key issues, such as economic efficiency, aptitude to meet the society’s and economy’s demand, are proved and obvious. The Russian president supported project of construction of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed mainline is ideal for realisation on the basis of maglev technology. The innovative technology that is able to provide disruptive development of Russia’s transport infrastructure is the maglev technology. Its application in transport industry, that plays a decisive role in development of safety and the country’s connectivity, will secure Russia’s leading position today and guarantee stable economy development in the future.
