Abstract

The need for people to relocate due to the environmental difficulties they experienced centuries ago gave birth to the concept of transportation; It has become one of the indispensable needs of people such as food, drink, health and shelter. In order to meet this displacement requirement, various tools have been developed and used according to the continental or marine characteristics of the Earth, and the need for transportation has continued to develop dynamically and become an integral part of our daily lives. In this study, the development of the need to relocate, which is among the basic needs, from past to present under the umbrella of transportation, its technological evolution and popular demand factors were investigated. As a result of the study, it has been reached that electric vehicles have become popular in the 21st century with the increase in urban population, people's demand for individual transportation vehicles and the development of sustainable energy-based fuel technologies. Urban air mobility solutions, including electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and drones, have the potential to relieve congestion on roadways and offer efficient transportation options for urban commuters. Additionally, autonomous and connected vehicles have the potential to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion, thereby improving the energy efficiency of transportation systems. However, more concrete and quantitative comparisons are required to determine their impact on fuel consumption.

Abstract

Yüzyıllar önce insanların yaşadıkları çevresel zorluklar nedeniyle yer değiştirme ihtiyacı, ulaşım ve taşımacılık kavramını doğurmuş; insanların yeme, içme, sağlık ve barınma gibi vazgeçilmez ihtiyaçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Bu yer değiştirme ihtiyacını karşılamak için yeryüzünün karasal veya denizel özelliklerine göre çeşitli araçlar geliştirilerek kullanılmış ve ulaşım ihtiyacı dinamik bir şekilde gelişmeye devam ederek günlük hayatımızın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada, temel ihtiyaçlar arasında yer alan yer değiştirme ihtiyacının ulaşım çatısı altında geçmişten günümüze gelişimi, teknolojik evrimi ve popüler talep faktörleri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, 21. yüzyılda kent nüfusunun artması, insanların bireysel ulaşım araçlarına olan talebi ve sürdürülebilir enerji temelli yakıt teknolojilerinin gelişmesi ile elektrikli araçların popüler hale geldiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Elektrikli dikey kalkış ve iniş (eVTOL) uçakları ve dron'lar da dahil olmak üzere kentsel hava hareketliliği çözümleri, karayollarındaki tıkanıklığı hafifletme ve şehir içi yolcular için verimli ulaşım seçenekleri sunma potansiyeline sahiptir. Ayrıca, otonom ve bağlantılı araçların, trafik akışını optimize ederek ve tıkanıklığı azaltarak ulaşım sistemlerinin enerji verimliliğini artırma potansiyeline sahip olduğu belirtilmiştir. Ancak, bu potansiyelin yakıt tüketimine etkisi konusunda daha somut ve nicel karşılaştırmalar yapılması gerekmektedir.
