In this paper, we attempt to summarize the impact of technologies, especially intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies, on transportation research during the last several decades and provide perspectives on how future transportation research may be affected by the availability and development of new ITS technologies. The intended audience of the paper includes young transportation researchers and professionals. Current transportation models are divided into “generations” based on their technological and practical background. Based on the trends in the past and the potential technologies to be implemented in the future, general characteristics of the next generations of transportation models are proposed and discussed to provide a vision regarding expected future achievements in transportation research. This paper is intended to be a working document, in the sense that it will be updated periodically.
