In the article the main directions of development and parameters of long-term forecasts of the transport in the foreign countries are considered.

The forecasts of transport development for the period up to 2050 are based on ideas that no essential changes will happen to vehicles types (planes, automobiles, ships, trains). Thus the parameters of efficiency, technological effectiveness, environmental friendliness and safety will increase due to transition to new technological way. A special accent in the transport development will be pointed to the creation of intellectual transport systems uniting all means of transport within a common information area, integrated analytical information systems supporting managing processes of the transport development.
