Final Project
Assignment Overview
As we discuss in this course, innovation in transportation involves the introduction of something new, whether
it is a new idea, method, or device. We discuss how innovations of the past helped transform US cities,
impacting the way people move about, as well as the urban structure and form within which this travel takes
place. We also examine how many of these new innovations could be considered “disruptive.” In other words,
these innovations are not well understood, involve new markets that are unpredictable, are dramatic and
game changing, and do not follow traditional business methods. We also discuss how these innovations may
hold the promise to significantly impact cities in the future.
This final project challenges you to examine one of the transportation innovations discussed during the
semester, or another innovation not discussed that would also be considered “disruptive innovation,” and
write a paper that critically analyzes the potential impacts on urban travel and urban form.
Completing the Project
This project is completed in three parts:
Part 1. First, select a transportation-related innovation that can be considered a “disruptive innovation.”
Part 2. (Worth 25 Points) Next, conduct a literature review, and create an evaluative annotated bibliography.
Conduct an online search, utilizing internet sources as well as the ASU library online, to identify recent
research that has examined the viability of the innovation and the potential impacts of the innovation on
cities. You must find a minimum of ten sources of information about your innovation, three of which must
consist of peer-reviewed academic journal articles. The other seven (or more) sources may be news articles,
government websites, or other reputable sources. For each source, write a brief annotation that includes the
following information:
? Full bibliographic citation (Refer to Purdue Owl at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/ for citation help.)
? Purpose and audience of the article
? Main arguments and conclusions of the author
? Strengths and weaknesses of the article
? Usefulness of article for your own research
Submit your annotated bibliography via the link on Canvas no later than Tuesday July 21st by 11:59PM.
Part 3. (Worth 75 Points) Finally, based on your analysis of the information in the sources you selected, write
an essay that clearly addresses the following for the transportation innovation:
?
?
?
Briefly describe the innovation that you are examining and its background
Discuss how the innovation could be considered “disruptive”
? Why is it not well understood?
? What are the new target markets, and why are they unpredictable?
? How is the innovation dramatic and game changing?
? Why does the innovation not follow traditional business methods?
Analyze the potential impacts of the innovation for each of the following
? Impacts on urban travel in general
? Impacts on urban form and the built environment
In your paper, you must directly refer to at least six of the sources used in your annotated bibliography,
including at least two of the academic journal articles. Sources referenced in your paper must be listed in a
separate works-cited list, with in-text citations (using a consistent style throughout) included for all direct
quotes (including data statistics) used in your paper.
Your written report should be roughly 3-4 single-spaced pages in length, with a space between paragraphs.
Your report must be structured using the following headings and subheadings:
? Brief Introduction to the Innovation
? Disruptive Characteristics
? Lack of Understanding
? Market Unpredictability
? Dramatic and Game Changing
? Untraditional Business Methods
? Potential Impacts
? Urban Travel
? Urban Form
Assignments are due Tuesday August 4th by 11:59PM. Assignments should be submitted electronically as a
Word or PDF document under the “Final Project” tab on Canvas before the due date and time. After that
point, the link will no longer be visible. NO late essays will be accepted.
Your essay should be thoroughly proofread for spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. Essays
containing excessive proofreading errors will not be accepted for credit.
