U.S. Submarineshas developed the world's first personal luxury submarines, capable of taking you and your guests to unseen regions of the deep ocean in perfect comfort and absolute safety. And once there, you are able to view the fascinating denizens of the deep through large, panoramic viewports, while relaxing in an interior replete with luxury and warmth. Powered on the surface by twin turbocharged marine diesels, all of our luxury submarine models, with the exception of the small Triton 650, have extended surface range and are capable of diving to 305 meters (1000'). Bad weather? Simply close the hatch and dive, cruising effortlessly far below the waves in air conditioned comfort. The submarines' battery capacity and life support systems allow you to stay submerged for days at a time.
New Vehicle Design Surpasses State Global Warming Standards Engineers Design Affordable, Clean Car Using Existing Technology and Fuels WASHINGTON – Automotive engineers at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) today ( March 1, 2007 )unveiled a minivan design that shows automakers can build affordable vehicles with existing technology that would meet or exceed global warming pollution standards for cars and trucks adopted by California and 10 other states. Automakers are currently fighting these standards in court. The minivan, dubbed the UCS Vanguard, features off-the-shelf engine, transmission and fueling systems and other technologies that would save consumers money, maintain vehicle safety and performance, and cut global warming pollution by more than 40 percent. All of the technologies in the Vanguard are in vehicles on the road today, but automakers have yet to combine them all in one single package. (For a computer-generated animation of the Vanguard's features and the full report, go to www.ucsusa.org/UCSVanguard.)

Electric vehicles are the cleanest form of transportation and are available today for consumers.
Anticipatory capabilities - Volkswagens of the future will not only be able to handle any circumstance, they will be equipped to anticipate them too. Through providing operating recommendations and active support to the driver by monitoring the ambient traffic situation, these new electronic assistants will recognise upcoming circumstances that require responsive action. In fact, tomorrow's vehicles will even be capable of communicating with one another, of scanning their environment and then drawing conclusions from the information they capture, and of warning drivers about imminent danger. By interlinking driver assistance and communications systems, we will make the transition from "seeing” vehicles to vehicles with foresight.
Wegen naar de toekomst Slimme auto’s maken het verkeer veiliger. Dat is de conclusie uit de praktijkproef ‘slimme auto’s’ die is uitgevoerd door het innovatieprogramma van Rijkswaterstaat. ‘Wegen naar de Toekomst’. Tijdens deze proef die in maart 2006 is gestart, zijn twintig voertuigen uitgerust met apparatuur die ervoor zorgt dat er voldoende afstand wordt gehouden tot de voorganger en waarmee de auto binnen de belijning blijft. Onderzocht is wat zogenoemde rijtaakondersteunende systemen betekenen voor het verbeteren van de verkeersveiligheid, de verkeersdoorstroming en het milieu. Centraal stond de vraag hoe de individuele weggebruiker deze systemen ervaart. Inmiddels is de proef succesvol afgerond.
Playing catchup in green technology, Nissan opens new resortlike tech center - ATSUGI, Japan (AP) -- At Nissan's new complex for technology, experimental car batteries were sitting in freezing temperatures, getting cooked in giant metal boxes and being rattled to simulate driving -- part of the automaker's efforts to catch up in the race to develop green vehicles.
In Emergency, Evacuation Software Finds Best Way To Route Millions Of Vehicles Suppose, for instance, that a disaster occurred in Southern California and suddenly 700,000 vehicles headed for the Arizona border" How would transportation officials generate the best traffic management strategy to cope with the traffic" One very good option would be to use the computer simulation package that Chiu, an assistant professor in The University of Arizona Civil Engineering Department, has been developing since 1995, when he was a graduate student at the University of Texas in Austin.
Traffic Congestion in Beijing: What to Do? - Traffic congestion is a prominent problem in Beijing with automobiles increasing by 10 percent annually and roads being extended by only 2 percent. With this in mind, www.china.org.cn interviewed Zhang Jianfei, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and also vice-president of Plan and Research Institute of the Ministry of Communication, who put forward his own proposals on how to deal with the traffic problems in Beijing.
