# Streamlined Circulation Systems These Future Transportation Concepts Lessen Transit Loads By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-transportation-concepts References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Future-Transportation-Concepts/2389606) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/mac_fun) Designer Mac Funamizu dreamed up these [Future Transportation Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo) with the idea that crowded public transit in Asia would be shed of a great deal of chaos. Two primary ideas came out of his studies that help to deal with people on foot and those who are riding the subway. Firstly, a system of [moving sidewalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system) was devised that would be intended for installation in [busy train stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metro-transit-center-station) or as underground pedestrian highways. Lane after lane would guide you swiftly from A to B, with the strips gradually increasing in speed towards the outside. The fastest would move at the pace of a bicycle. The other Future Transportation Concept is a real-time ceiling subway map. More train riders would see it above them than they would on the wall, and this would give them an up-to-the-minute understanding of their exact location, thanks to a moving red indicator. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Streamlined Moving Sidewalks:** The implementation of moving sidewalks in busy transit areas could help to reduce overcrowding and speed up travel times, presenting an opportunity for design and installation companies. - **Real-time Subway Maps:** Developing real-time subway maps that are visible from the ceiling could improve riders' understanding of their location and speed up the commuting process, offering opportunities for technology and transportation companies. - **Underground Pedestrian Highways:** Designing and constructing underground pedestrian highways could decrease pedestrian congestion in urban areas, creating opportunities for construction and urban planning companies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** The development and implementation of streamlined transportation systems and technology offers opportunities for growth and innovation within the transportation industry. - **Urban Planning:** The creation of efficient and organized pedestrian transit systems presents opportunities for urban planning and design companies to improve the accessibility and functionality of city infrastructure. - **Construction:** The construction of new transit infrastructure, such as underground pedestrian highways or moving sidewalks, presents opportunities for construction companies to expand their services and capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Public Transport Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-public-transport-network.md) - [Magnetic Wall-Scaling Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trois-mobility-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Space-Saving Urban Mobility Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-doro.md) - [Socialization-Encouraging Travel Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agorae-mobility-concept.md) - [Panoramic Open-Air Roof Trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-train.md) - [Sustainable Transportation System Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo.md) - [Elevating Skybridge Bus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xferry-bus.md) - [Autonomous Timber Transportation Shuttles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-shuttle.md)
