Fleet Routing typically takes place at
a command and control level, but a
new form of road and traffic man-
agement is now possible combining
blockchain, geolocation, social networks
with decentralised network concepts
with predictive analytics that would
eventually become an artificial intelli-
gence (AI).
This system will replace the modes of

anonymised store of value for people
so that anyone can invest in the road
system independently of banks or their

As human population increases, even
more alarming is the overall increase
urbanisation rate that will place 90 per
cent all humans in cities by 2050. China
alone will move 400m people into cities
by 2030.
The need to find new road financing
options while at the same time keeping
the road open to all those who need to
use it, regardless of their income level
has collided with the dual imperatives of
using fewer barrels of oil per passenger
kilometre travelled and reducing fossil
fuel emissions.
Petrol Duty (gasoline tax) by itself, can-
not hope to cover the costs in
