the history of transport is hugely one of technological innovation. Advances in technology have allowed people to travel far, explore more territory, and expand their influence over larger and larger areas. Even in ancient times, new tools such as foot coverings, skis, and snowshoes large the distances that could be travelled. As new inventions and discoveries were built to transport problems, travel time decreased while the ability to move more and larger loads increased. Innovation continues as transport researchers are working to find new and better ways to reduce costs and increase transport efficiency.
