The idea is to have virtual offices, actually perhaps “office-on-demand”!
Travelling on offices and thus working on transport is already possible; e.g. using laptop on fast speeding trains and even have internet connections has been developed.
Office-on-demand rental company could be a business idea. There could also be service for shopping while working. Targeted transport services for companies (working during journey) are needed, as will as fluent "rent a vehicle" and taxi services. This means that there should be WAN everywhere (web services).
Daily activities & travelling management and optimisation services together with dynamic incident-based traffic network management & services systems are needed. This implies also new thinking in creating new business models.
Traffic forecasting during incident duration with impacts would also be an asset.
The use of travel time as working time has driven the provision of WiFi and tables in buses serving airports in the Uk, and has now become common on longer distance coaches(example Oxford to london) as well as rail services. The coach wifi is an added value 'free' service, while several railway operators are securing revenues from WiFi provision. This isuggest that more systematic usae of travel time for work is aviable market, and research by Edinbrgh napier Universty and ITS Leeeds with Virgin Trains is assessing this.
These development, especially the priced services, suggest that conversion of travel time to working activities coudl be viable. Counter arguments are the increasing expectations of 24- hour always on working and access levels for staff, which may require a modifcation of the manner in which such services are offerred.
