Q

What is the relationship of Human Capital and Physical Capital?

A
  • Development cannor occur without both because the use of infrastructure cannot be effective without the proper operations and maintenance
  • Economic activities cannot take place without an infrastructure base
  • Transport sector uses infrastructures, that’s why it is an important component of economy and it is used as a tool for development

Air

28
Q

Differentiate Place Utility from Time Utility

A

Place Utility - availability of the product to bring them anywhere - to their destination
Time Utility - availability of product to bring them to their destination anytime

29
Q

Give the Economic significance of Transportation

A
  • life support of the system of its citizens
  • determine the economic value of products or services
  • major contributor to the economy and a competitive force in business
  • physically connects business to its supply chain partners, which is a major influence on the customer’s satisfaction

30
Q

Two types of logistics, and which is more inclined with Transportation?

A

Inbound and Outbound Logistics (more inclined because we are not a manufacturing industry)

31
Q

What is backtracking?

A

Might effect in issues of time and other resources that may lead to lost profit

32
Q

Faster modes of transpo generally cost more than slower modes, but not in tourism industry, why?

A

Because we give promos

33
Q

Define Congestion and why is it not always bad?

A

It is an unintended consequence but it is an indication of a growing economy because people have the purchasing power

34
Q

Two levels wherein the economic importance of transportation can be assessed and differentiate the two

A

Macroeconomic level - importance of transpo for a whole economy

38
Q

The major impacts of transport on economic factors can be categorized as:

A

Large-scale production

Increased competition

Increased Land Value

39
Q
  • are a monetary measure of what the transport provider must pay to produce transportation services.
  • They come as fixed (infrastructure) and variable (operating) costs
A

Transportation Cost

40
Q

Factors Affecting Transportation Cost

A 
–        Geography
–        Type of service
–        Energy
–        Economies of scale
•          are the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to size, output, or scale of operation, with cost per unit of output generally decreasing with increasing scale as fixed costs are spread out over more units of output
–        Infrastructure
–        Mode
–        Competition
–        Regulations
•          Principle or rule employed in controlling, directing, or managing an activity
–        Surcharges
•          an extra fee added onto another fee or charge
41
Q
  • managing the usage price of a transport asset, such as the fare paid by users
  • to maximize profit in the context where the transport supply is fixed.
A

Transportation Yield Management

42
Q

Three Conditions for Yield Management

A

–A fixed transport capacity
–Unused transport capacity loses all of its utility
–Transport users are willing to pay different rates for the same capacity or service,

43
Q

What are under those 3 type of Impacts?

A 
Core
-cost
-capacity
Operational
-time
-reliability
Geographical
-location

Increased land value

57
Q

Principle or rule employed in controlling, directing, or managing an activity

Q

Factor that affects cost of transportation that has added fee

A

Surcharge

60
Q

Improving intermodal and modal capacity through infrastructure investments is a core strategy to promote economic opportunities

A

Capacity

61
Q

A

Costs

62
Q

Economic benefits of time improvements are multidimensional

A

Time

63
Q

Commonly involves a higher probability that a passenger will reach its intended destination within a schedule time frame

A
