If you can turn Solar Energy directly into Hydrogen Gas, then you are the next Uncle Bill.

Is it possible that we're asking the wrong question? Perhaps we should wonder "Why do we feel the need to move everything around so much?" We have built up our transportation systems one illogical decision on top of another. In America, we are still destroying people's homes in order to make wider roads for more people to move faster. When do we decide that this all makes no sense and begin a fundamental shift to spending less on transporting food, parts, and people?
Sorry, stepping back down off my soapbox now.

There have been similar studies and assessments of transport in the UK. When roads were two-lane, expanded to three-lane, and in some places are now four-lane.
We have Universities where there are departments dedicated to transport studies. There are journal papers out there available about this topic. You can search for "journal article multi lane motorways" to find various papers on the topic.
Of course, your assertion is another angle to my question.
Globalisation also produces redundant transportation.
An example is - you export your liquid milk to me while I export my liquid milk to you. The resultant effect is - the double way transportation expenses are actually clueless.
Many departments in universities are actually redundant, for instances, philosophy, literature, etc. These can be studied at home or in open libraries.
I don't agree with that. Universities create a community around these items. That makes that they evolve and are challenged outside of the internet.
If only we could 3-d print atoms (replicator technology).
Alternatively, we could move to ballistics to transport goods. Roads not needed!
Almost unrelated: when I served in the army, I was aimer on a Howitzer piece (M109 MK II). I 'd be able to deliver your package with 1.5 m precision in a 25 KM range.

That sounds like 1930's technology.
