The motorcycle as identity construct and performance affect: Three real-life examples for whom transport alone was not enough The Journal of Transport History Pub Date : 2022-06-09 James J. Ward
At a time when the future of the internal combustion engine-powered motorcycle, if not the industry as a whole, seems clouded, it may be appropriate to reflect on the importance of the two-wheeled vehicle as a cultural artefact – that is, its importance in the creation of an identity and a self-image for its owner and rider. This article examines this subject through the examples of three figures for

Ontologies on collision course: Collaborative mobility v. managerial transport in the contemporary history of intelligent transport systems The Journal of Transport History Pub Date : 2022-05-29 Daniel Normark
Is mobility ontologically different than transport? This essay contributes to this contentious question by looking at the frictions and failures of merging intelligent transport systems (ITS) with mobile information and communication technologies (mobile-ICT).

Moonshots to Nowhere? The Metroliner and Failed High-Speed Rail in the United States, 1962–1977 The Journal of Transport History Pub Date : 2022-02-21 David Reinecke
In September 1962, President John F. Kennedy challenged Americans to send and return astronauts to the Moon by the close of the decade. So-called “moon shots” like the Apollo Program of the 1960s became emblematic of a new paradigm in federally-funded research and development: large in scale, ambitious in scope, technologically challenging, and most importantly public facing.

Spotlight on the traveller: Individual experiences of routine journeys The Journal of Transport History Pub Date : 2022-01-06 Colin Pooley
All travel generates a range of feelings, responses and emotions that can be stimulated by many factors but recovering such responses to everyday travel in the past is difficult. Few conventional sources provide information on the travellers’ experiences of movement and, not surprisingly, most transport histories focus mainly on matters of infrastructure, usage, and technological change. In contrast
