02 Flashcards
action of transporting someone or something or the process of
being transported.
TRANSPORTATION
set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an
interconnecting network.
SYSTEM
s the combination of elements and their interactions,
which produce the demand for travel within a given area and the supply of
transportation services to satisfy this demand.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Covering all modes of transport; air, land, and sea for both
passenger and freight.
MULTI-MODAL
Encompassing the problems and viewpoints of government,
private industry, and public.
MULTI-SECTOR
Ranging across a spectrum of issues that includes national and
international policy, planning of regional system, the location and design of
specific facilities, carrier management issues, regulatory, institutional and
financial policies.
MULTI-PROBLEM
Aiming at national and regional economic development,
urban development, environment quality, and social quality, as well as service
to users and financial and economic feasibility.
MULTI-OBJECTIVE
Drawing on the theories and methods of engineering,
economics, operations research, political science, psychology, other natural,
and social sciences, management and law.
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY
Urban transportation planning, producing long range plans for
5-25 years for multimodal transportation systems in urban areas as well as short
range programs of action for less than five years
PLANNING RANGE
Regional passenger transportation, dealing with inter-city
passenger transport by air, rail, and highway and possible with new modes.
PASSENGER TRANSPORT
Routing and management, choice of different modes of rail
and truck.
FREIGHT TRANSPORT
Issues such as containerization, intermodal coordination
INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT
the explicit treatment of the total
transportation system of region and the interrelations between the transportation and
socioeconomic context.
BASIC PREMISE
deals with the development of a comprehensive set of
action plan for the design, construction and operation of transportation facilities
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
essentially involves the development of a transport model
which will accurately represent both the current as well as future transportation
system.
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
deals with physical proportioning of other transportation facilities,
in contrast with the structural design of the facilities.
GEOMETRIC DESIGN
deals with the structural design of roads, both (bituminous and
concrete), commonly known as (flexible pavements and rigid pavements)
respectively.
PAVEMENT DESIGN
covers a broad range of engineering applications with a focus on
the safety of the public, the efficient use of transportation resources, and the mobility
of people and goods
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
involves a variety of engineering and
management skills, including design, operation, and system optimization. In order to
address the above requirement, the traffic engineer must first understand the traffic
flow behavior and characteristics by extensive collection of traffic flow data and
analysis.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
deals with
study of the transportation system that meets the travel need of several
people by sharing a vehicle.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR MASS TRANSPORTATION
Transportation facilities require large capital
investments. Therefore, it is imperative that whoever invests money should get
the returns
FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With advent to computers, communication, and
vehicle technology, it is possible in these days to operate transportation
system much effectively with significant reduction in the adverse impacts of
transportation.
