Transport 2040: Automation, Technology, Employment - The Future of Work
Year: 2019 Language: english Author: WMU/ITF Genre: Guide Publisher: Worl Maritime University ITF Edition: 1 ISBN: ISBN: 978-91-984865-2-0 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 169 Description: Industrialization and transport have always been in close association. Increased levels of production and new technologies developed for the industry at large have engendered new solutions and forms of transport. Transportation was one of the key enabling factors for globalization. Every year 62.7 trillion tonne-miles of cargo are transported around the world. Transport, like any other industries, is currently undergoing a lot of changes as a result of the introduction of new technologies with far-reaching consequences for all modes of transport. These changes are driven by increased use of automation and new technologies which have the potential to transform jobs and the structure of the labour force, as well as to accelerate skill shifts compared with the historical trend. Technological progress and innovation have occurred throughout history and changed its course, for example the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This report focuses on providing evidence on the effects of automation and new technologies on the global transport labour force by 2040. Currently, we are about to embrace what is now termed the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is characterized by the introduction of artificial intelligence, robotics, more and more interconnection, among other innovations. As this report focuses on the global transport sector, examples illustrating the transformative capabilities of automation and technology span from driverless trains already used in metros in different parts of the world, to truck platooning, or convoying, in road transport, which represents a new level of automation; from the technology for automatic baggage handling systems in airports to automated and semi-automated container terminals in ports. In the maritime sector, recent discussions about autonomous ships have triggered a number of activities at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Equipment manufacturers have created the notion that automated ships could be operating in larger numbers in a few years.
