What is Transportation?
What is Transportation?
• Transportation is the “act or means of
carrying people or goods from one place
to another.”
• The role of a transportation system is to
provide an effective and efficient way of
doing this. Like any “system,” a
transportation system is comprised of
multiple, interconnected components,
each of which serves a unique role, while
also supporting the other components.
 FOR TRANSPORTATION TO
TAKE PLACE, FOUR CORE
COMPONENTS ARE ESSENTIAL
MODES. They represent the conveyances, mostly taking
the form of vehicles that are used to support the mobility
of passengers or freight. Some modes are designed to
carry only passengers or freight, while others can carry
both.
DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORT

1. ROAD TRANSPORT: exist in all parts of the world, this

involves the use of motor vehicles (cars, lorries, buses, bicycles,
and trucks). There are various types of roads according to size
and functions, some roads are tarred while others are not. The
best of these roads are the modern roads which links major
towns. Road transport when compared with other modes of
transportation is more flexible. It is relatively cheaper and faster.
Road transport has a high capacity of carrying goods over short
distances. Maintenance is one of the major disadvantages of this
mode of transport.
2. RAILWAY TRANSPORT: railways were developed during
the period of industrial revolution in the 19th century, these was
partly for political reasons and for economic reasons. In many
countries, they were built especially to penetrate isolated
regions and help promote political unity. The major advantage of
railway transport includes provision reliable services. It has
ability of conveying heavy and bulky goods; it is also very cheap,
safe and comfortable for passengers over a long distance.
3. WATER TRANSPORT: water transport is very important because it is the
cheapest way of transporting bulky goods over a long distance. In the world,
there are two major types of water transport namely:Inland water transport
and ocean water transport. Inland water transport:this is the system of
transport through all navigable rivers, lakes and man-made canals. Many large
rivers in different parts of the world are used by ships and barges for
transportation; the main rivers where inland water transport are important are
the Rhine and Dambe in Europe, the Zaire in Africa, the Nile in Africa, the
Mississippi in USA etc. However, Ocean waterways carry a lot of the
world'strade, majority of the bulky goods, materials and passengers pass
through ocean waterways from one country to another at the cheapest cost.
4. AIR TRANSPORT: air transport is the
newest means of transport; it was introduced in
1903 but developed into full means of
transporting people and goods in 1930s. The
greatest of the air transportation started after
the Second World War (WW11). This mode of
transportation can be used for both domestic
and international flights.
INFRASTRUCTURES. The physical support of transport
modes, where routes (e.g. rail tracks, canals or highways)
and terminals (e.g. ports or airports) are the most
significant components. Infrastructures also include
superstructures which are movable assets that usually have
a shorter lifespan. So, for an airport the infrastructure
would be assets such as the runways while the
superstructure would be the terminals and control
equipment. For a port, the infrastructure would be piers and
navigation channels while the superstructure would be
cranes and yard equipment.
Example: TERMINAL
NETWORKS. A system of linked locations that
are used to represent the functional and spatial
organization of transportation. This system
indicates which locations are connected and how
they are serviced. Within a network some
locations are more accessible (more connections)
than others (less connections).
Example: TRAFFIC SUGNALS
FLOWS. Movements of people, freight
and information over their respective
networks. Flows have origins, intermediary
locations and destinations. An intermediary
location is often required to go from an
origin to a destination. For instance, flying
from one airport to another may require a
transit at hub airport.
