TRANSCRIPT
Transport or transportation
General- the movement of people, animals and
goods from one location to another.
- is important because it enables trade
between person, which is essential for the
development of civilizations
Mode of transport
Different ways to perform transport
Each mode of transport:• Has fundamentally diferent technological
solution• Some require a separate enviroment• Has its own infrastructure, vehicles and
operations• Often has unique regulations• Has its own advantage and disadvantage
Mode of transport- is a solution that makes use of a particular type
of vehicle, infrastructure, and operation
Human – powered – using human muscle-power
Animal –powered – is the use of working animals for the movement of people and goods
?
Human-powered transport
Non-vehicular
- crawling, walking, running,sprinting,sviming and diving, climbing as
in moutaineering and abseliing ,skaiting,
skiing………
Human – powered vehicles
- watercraft- vehicles- aircraft
Mode of transportSuitable choice depends on: cost capability route speed
Multimodal transport using more than one mode
Elements
Infrastructure – is the fixed installations that allow a vehicle to operate
Vehicles – is non-living device that is used to move people and goods
Operation – private transport ( owner of vehicle), public transport ( private enterprise or governments)
Mode of transport
Aviation
Land transpor
RailRoad
Water
Other modes
Pipelines
Cable transport
Space transport
Division
Aiviation – Air transport
Quick transport of people and limited amounts of cargo over longer distances
The basic elements of the system: aircraft (airplane, helicopter, satellites) air route (airport, air traffic services, airspace)Is characterized by relative high safetyExperience the fastest growthIncur high costs & energy useGreater dependence on weatherCauses air & noise pollution
RailConveyance of passengers and goods by way of wheeled
vehicles running on rail trackA train consist of : a railway carriage (one ormore connected vehicles) a locomotive (steam, diesel or electric)Transportation of heavy & bulk cargoSuitability for medium & long-distanceHigh reliability of supplyLower energy consumption than road transportMore environmentally friendly than road & air transportReduced room for manoeuvre
Road
The set of activities that ensure passengers and goods transportation by way of wheeled vehicles usually on roads or paved roads
Users of road: car, bus, truck, motorcycle, trolley, bicycle, pedestrians
Lowest transit time (especially for short distances)Dense network of road infrastructureThe main source of noise and air pollution in citiesFlexibility – vehicle may by sent at any time to meet the
transport task
Water
Movement by means of a watercraft carrying people (passengers) or goods (cargo)
A watercraft include (basic division): a barge, a boat, a ship, a sailboat
Highly effective method of transporting large quantities of non-perishable goods
Less costly than air transport for transcontinental shippingLess speed and lower energy comsuption than road transportMore enviromentally friendly than road and air transport
Other modes
Pipeline transport – most commonly for gases and liquidCable transport – mode, vhere vehicles are pulled cables
insteand of an internal power supply – commonly used in a steep climb – cable car, elevator,escalator, ski lift
Space transport – out of Eart“s atmosphere into outer space by means of a spacecraft
While large amounts of research have gone into technology, it is rarely used, except: putting satellites into orbit conducting scientific experiments Probes have been sent to all the planets of the Solar System
