The Application of Innovative Public Transport Technologies to Small Cities with Particular Regard to Palmerston North
October 23, 2008|Massey University

This research project aims to explore how smaller cities can develop and apply a range of innovative technologies to promote the use of public transport (PT). The transportation sector has proven to be particularly difficult territory for the advancement of sustainable development (Goldman & Gorham, 2006). Rapidly increasing traffic congestion, air pollution, and urban sprawl are causing considerable problems in contemporary cities (IEA, 2002). In turn, this is having detrimental effects on the earth’s climate, human health, and is compounding the potentially disastrous impacts of peak oil (IPCC, 2007; WHO, 2007; Bailey, 2006).

Aerial Trams, technically known as aerial ropeways, have been around for centuries. In ancient India and Japan, ropeways were used to cross rivers and were originally made of hemp or rawhide rope. Today’s ropeways are made from steel cables and towers, but their function is not much different from these original ancient transportation systems.
