The main factors that shaped the Industrial Revolution are said to be the emergence of the scientific method, property rights, the creation of capital markets, and major developments in communications infrastructure and transportation. With all these technological factors, the shape of transportation business is changing. Since the scientific method emerged in the 17th century, it led to a different style of thinking. People began to adopt more rational methods regarding the laws of nature. Integrate technical positions or professions in the fields of physics, engineering and chemistry. This created an innovation platform for transport. This allowed free thinkers and fact-based professionals to influence transportation in ways they never had before. The industrial revolution truly triggered the emergence of the global economy. Technical innovations that changed production and transportation had a major effect on trade. Between 1750 and 1800, the Industrial Revolution underwent two phases that forever changed the world economy and trade. During this short period, radical changes have taken place in transport infrastructure. First we had the highly developed methods of canal systems which allowed maritime trade to reach new heights, and in the latter years of the century we had developed the railway system. The rail system allowed for more efficient routes and transportation was once again breaking new barriers in that we could now transport tons of materials across the country. During this period we also had the creation of the steam engine and the external combustion engine, which transformed thermal energy into mechanical energy. These innovations allowed the expansion of the rail and maritime transport structure. Engineer Watt is credited with developing the steam engine, which was first used to pump water from mines. He
