| Summary: | Civilization has brought us to a speed like never before, we live in a world where we have so much to finish and the time remain the same, where there is call for need to review the way we have been doing things and adopt more associative, sensitivity philosophy. Likewise, human ingenuity has provided this age with formidable technology including the information that can help us deal with the question of the time. There is no doubt that all what is left of human to cope with the require pace of technology and demand of the time is to reduce the time and improve on what we have by considering unitization and integration of our systems, while being sensitive to everything that concern the environment. Transportation industry should not be left out in this. This paper will discuss hybridization of transportation system by considering comparative advantage and use of benefit provided by the two seas of information and environmental technology that is currently dynamically transforming our world in order to maximized use to improve our transportation system, incorporating new Inland Water Transportation system that will efficiently in an innovative manner link our cities with existing transportation by providing quality facilities and services for people at affordable rate through system hybridization and integration. This will include infrastructure that will link logistics equipment together for a better management, control and the reality of putting concept of togetherness into practice to achieve greater things that will solve transportation problem. Production associated with linking the land, the sea, and air transportation together according comparative advantage, provision of transfer equipment, information and environmental technology solution consideration as needed, cost saving associated with the merging, arrangement of new systems, enhancement derived from transportation information and control system to transportation problem relating to congestion and environment will be discussed will be discussed. |
