Chubu International Airport has bought several three-wheeled Toyota i-Real vehicles to be used by security and service personnel. The tricycles can operate at a top speed of 15 kilometers per hour and will carry emergency medical kits and computers that will allow airport staff to check flight schedules for passengers.

While they'r clearly not the fastest mode of transportation, I like the idea that RoboCop can tell me if my flight is on time.
